WARM DIGITS SHOW
As FilmBee collective, we made direct animation 16mm film loops and 35mm painted slides for a visual show for Warm Digit's gig at Northern Stage Newcastle in Nov 2015. The film was made through dying, painting, drawing, scratching and sanding film. The screens were hanging paper sheets that angled round the stage. The images responded to the live set through various techniques. We worked with our collections of loops and slides to change images in response to the music and each other (There were 4 of us and 4 16mm film projectors and 2 slide projectors). We also had homemade gadgets that allowed us to change flicker rates of the image and colours through the use of lighting gels. The loops were then telecined and edited into a single track piece for a music video for End Times (password is required until the tracks release this spring).
