Oh, there is one thing that confuses me about this project, Andreas. I noticed that in the rules laid out by yourself, particpants were allowed to film both time lapse and stop motion animation. So I have a question, is the final film intended to be a fiction film or non-fiction?

Personally, I would like some sort of introduction prior to the footage, either in text or narration. This could basically sum up the basic concept of the film. Additionally, it could reveal a few brief details about the number of countires and contributors involved. I think this should be kept brie...

I have a question. In my above post, why is there a message that says: 'DELETE THIS POST' ?

Ive used 16mm B&W film that was at least 15 years old and it turned out fine. Great thing is Ive got about 8 of these films (all the same age) which I picked up from a market for $2 each.

Todd, Im glad it was sunny in New York. Here in South Australia, it was originally forcast as sunny and clear for May 17. I was extremely pleased with this as I have had specific plans to do some time lapse work of shadows. One example in mind is shadows sweeping over our local museum, a rather gran...
