So the entire class got together to film with bolex cameras, #awesome. I loved this project because i haven't worked with many film cameras, and definitely not the bolex. I like how the mechanisms work and how you have to wind the camera before you film. Then, you just have to jump in when filming, you have one take to get it right. I was in group 1 and filmed the scene. we practiced a few time and then we just went for it. Its very nerve-racking to just hit the record button and know that the reel in the camera is all you have. I think our project turned out as good as it could have.
Then came the developing part. It is a unique experience developing film for 6x1. You go into a room with only a red light and you can barely see. If its not dark enough, the film you just managed to capture is gone or damaged, which would be the worst. Luckily, all of the films managed to hold on and came out great.
