16mm Magazine Transfer Exercise

Students started with 16mm clear leader film and stuck strips of clear packaging tape that had absorbed the ink from magazines and newspapers.

So how do you do this? You just put magazine strips between the clear tape and the clear film strip and then stick it in hot water? This is amazing btw. I want to try it

Thanks! Actually, you stick tape (clear packaging tape is good) on a magazine or newspaper page - then cut the tape w/ magazine into strips thin enough to fit between the sprocket holes of a film strip. Then you have to soak the strips for about 10 minutes in hot water so that you can rub the mag pulp completely off (only the ink remains). Then just stick the sticky side of the tape while wet to the clear film - allow to dry and then project!

This looks great! Thanks for sharing how you did it, I'd love to try it myself.

Great! Glad you enjoyed it.

beautiful. does the process involve any chemicals, or is the tape adhesive strong enough alone?

[Silvacine]

There are no chemicals, at all. We just use clear packaging tape and as long as the magazine paper is pressed firmly to the tape and then the pulp is then thoroughly removed in warm to hot water, leaving only the ink-absorbed tape, the tape should stick to the filmstrip after it dries.

This is awesome. I'm doing something at the moment for a university project - I'll post the video as a response. And the track is "Lost in the K-Hole", I think.
