On Thursday 8th December I visited Cardinal Newman College to take part in their art week.
I worked with students hoping to go to university next year. Everybody got creative and together we made a short film.
Working on 16mm film we could either use inks or letraset. I found myself using letraset to form shapes on my strip of film, but the film had to be sanded before hand to give it a rougher surface as the letraset wasn't sticking. I found that the letraset piece made the film more interesting rather than just using inks or a pen. Parts of the letraset had started to crackle off and other parts were not sticking down correctly. To me, this made a really nice effect and I was happy with what I had managed to create. The film was then put together and everyone's drawings and doodles were projected on screen.
Altogether, I had a really enjoyable day working with other students who have a passion for art and design. One aspect that made the day worthwhile was seeing how happy the students were, after creating something really nice with a type of media they had never used or experimented with before.
So have a look at the short film below. Apologies for the movement, I was filming by hand.
