Elements of Image Making is a monthly analogue film meet up/hang out/nerd out/freak out. We meet on Sundays at Noisebridge.
October 28th, Sunday 2pm! We returning better then ever, and kicking of our new form with a workshop on Hand Processing!!!!!!!!!!!


UPDATE!!!
== Description ==
Lead organizer, Eric, has moved out of state and is no longer hosting this class.
Elements of Image Making is a series of workshops investigating analogue film processes, structured around the open exchange of ideas, resources, and skills while focusing on teaching through facilitation.


== Past Events in SERIES==
Topics covered range from manipulations of found footage to new image generation using chemical, optical, and mechanical techniques. Our primary concern being the surface of film, we will treat it as a canvas. We will create and watch 16mm and super 8 films.
In total layman's terms we will discuss the chemistry of Photography/Cinematography and discuss how you take make your own photosensitive emulsion!!!!


We generally meet every three weeks.
Initially concerned with tactile manipulations, we will make direct animations by drawing, scratching, and painting directly onto film. By focusing on texture, pattern, and rhythm we will explore projected light, experience and perception. Future workshops will move into the darkroom exploring: photograms, hand processing, handmade emulsions and tinting/toning.


*Positive Thinking
Additionally we will invoke whatever mischief we can think of; we might bury film, throw it into a volcano, launch it into the atmosphere, bake it, burn it or sail it to angel island.
** 5/12 reversal developing & DIY dailies
*Got My Ion You
** 6/2 Solarization & Reticulation
*Hand Made Emulsion
** 6/23 Cyanotype & Silver


== Sunday April 13th ==
Prior film knowledge is not required but attendees with previous experience are encouraged to contribute their knowledge and experience at any level they feel comfortable with.


4pm
==Every 4th Sunday==


Building on what we've covered in previous weeks we will move past the negative and embrace the positive. We will discuss reversal processing and making positive prints.
Participants are encouraged to bring any materials they think would be interesting to work with, including any aged film material or stock, but especially markers, paint, stamps, translucent objects or scratching elements, anything that may hold an interesting presence on film. All editing materials, projectors, and tools necessary will be provided.
 
We will trouble shoot some DIY contact printing and hopefully print the negatives from previous weeks.
 
==Sunday March 31st==
 
4pm
*Learn to use a bolex film camera!
*Learn how to hand process film
*Learn how to use a 16mm projector
 
We will take a bolex to dolores park/wherever film some stuff and then come back to noise bridge and develop it. If all goes well and the film is dry we will visit our neighbors, Artist Television Access, and project the film.
 
 
Hand Processing is back in 2013!!!!!!
 
== RESULTS//==
Examples of some of the things we have done thus far:
