Comparative Analysis of Filming With The Shutter Open And Closed
“OPEN. CLOSED. OPEN. CLOSED.”
Created in 2019 on 16mm film with a Bolex Paillard H16, this project was edited entirely by hand using a small hand-cranked viewer, a rewind bench, and a guillotine splicer, with each cut physically joined using splicing tape. It came together at the last minute after the original project had to be abandoned due to exposure errors made by other group members. Shot on location in Moorhead, Minnesota and Fargo, North Dakota, the piece highlights both the challenges and the spontaneity of working with analog film.
