Really beautiful performance featuring analog synths, flowers, recordings of birds, cheap $2 record machine microphones and the beautiful musicality of one of Gen X's greatest and oddest songwriters.

The lore behind the song & this performance always gives me chills. Such an insane performance and such a great moment with the stare off. Loved this YouTube comment: āThis dynamic is incredible. She's absolutely calling him out even after all these years. He takes it. He absolutely let's her nail him with her lyrics. He stares straight back at her and there's SO many unsaid things that pass between them. She walks towards him and he leans forward to encourage her. He knows it's her therapy and he fully supports her and it's an awesome effect. Equal parts sorrow, ferocity, love, respect...ā

Alright hereās a quick look at hand processing 16mm motion picture film. The stock I shot for this film is called Kodak 3378, itās a high contrast black and white reversal film stock, which basically means it doesnāt develop as a negative but as the actual viewable image. The process of āhand developmentā is an interesting one. First 100 ft of film are loaded into a light proof tank. The chemical process I used is called E6 and it consists of a few steps that can be performed at room temperature: first developer, second developer, rinse, bleach, fixer, photoflow. Exposing the film to these chemicals four particular times results in the final image. This step is the rinse, the 3378 stock is the slightly purple film.
Hand processing creates strange patterns and aberrations, disturbances created by a process that is inherently imperfect. It allows the artist to play with the parameters of 16mm image making but maybe more importantly, its results are a direct effect of the artistās hand on their work. This is why we shoot film in a digital world: itās something we can physically affect as true human beings.

I thought Iād delve a little into the behind the scenes of a personal film Iām working on. Iāve been a type one diabetic for about fifteen years and have become recently obsessed with creating a film about the American medical system. I aim to capture the feeling that the medication that provides you with the ability to exist may one day be taken away, or not covered, or not delivered in time. I deal with the insulin saga every month, and while it may be an extreme example, I think many Americans live in similar situations.
Thatās the context. What I really want to delve into is the process of creating 16mm imagery, from shooting to developing, to editing. This is what our rig looked like when I decided to shoot a few months worth of the disposable needles I use to inject. I wanted to create an in camera āsplit screenā effect. To do that, I covered three quarters of the image plain and shot through my film. Then, Iād rewind and adjust my matte to expose one of the remaining quarters, doing so until I had a complete image. Iāll go a little more into the film stock when I talk about hand development :)
