CS8 Cameraless Experiments

This is the completed movie made on the cameraless film workshop led by Ian Helliwell, at the 4th Cambridge Super 8 film festival, 2010. The premiere involved 3 cine projectors -- 2 for the image and 1 with magnetic striped film carrying the soundtrack, with the projector positioned under the screen for playback. This began first with half a minute of sound in darkness, then the 2 cameraless animation reels were started which ran superimposed.
The 10 workshop participants, all new to hands-on procedures with super 8, made their own direct animation sequences, and recorded bursts of radio straight into a sound projector. After cutting up the various bits of film, all the pieces were spliced together onto 3 separate reels to complete this collaborative work.
