camera less filmmaking

its been diffrent making a film without a camera, Its really calming and not as crazy as going out and trying to deal with actors(wich i hate) and worrying if about sound and well anyone who has worked on set knows i can go on forever. So far doing the scratchfilmmaking is cool. The first day we got our string of film i spent all day at work the next day trying diffrent things to see what it would do to the film. I scratched with diffrent materials and since i work at a piercing shop and have the world of chemicals at my figer tips i soaked, aplied diffrent chems. on it and even tried to see if holding alighter to try and get a burn effect, which failed horibly, the trasnfering tech i found to be a very good way to manipulate an effect on the film. after learning that me and my partner got together for and went to work on our project and did a great deal of trasnfers, i found that if you boil water and let it the tape with the pics on it soak until your hands can bare the heat, the pulp would fall off easier then just normal tap hot water. I have also notice that sitting down with a botle of rum and just listing to some music with your film strip you get lost in what your doing and before youknow it you have done something like 40 frames. I wish i had a projector to see what i am doing on screen and i think that we need acsess to the spliter so that we can put to gether a sequence so we can make our them a little more clearer. so all in all, i know no that saying you can't make a film because you don't have a cam, is a lie and a por excuse for a filmmaker to say.
