Acetones

This is my first experiment with applying acetone to color-treated 35mm film. I ended up using a portion of it (slightly modified) in my CalArts thesis film CREATIVE REGRESSION ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=chdNKGZuYBY ).

Very nice!

Thanks! :)

Very interesting results! Looking forward to checking out some of your other experiments. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

No... I _why_ you commented, I just thought it was rather paranoid. Anyone can find out about acetone in a number of locations (not just Wikipedia). And, it's been around for over a century. I highly doubt anyone would get ideas like that from a short art film!

Ummm... Terrorists? :-/

It seems that Acetone is a solvent used in nail varnish remover. So I am guessing it us reoding the emulsion on the film hence the colours - great! I once tried staining the film with blobs of coloured inks.

Oh, yeah... I'm having trouble posting a URL here, but look up acetone at Wikipedia.

Thanks... As I say in the description, this is more of an experiment than a final piece. You should watch "Creative Regression" for the final version.

Great sequence though I would love to see some slight variations on Greeny yellow with losing the feel. What is acetone?
