Director's Statement: The film was created through the process of bleaching unexposed 16mm colour film stock in common household bleach. The bleaching of the film took place in complete darkness so not to expose the film to light, it was then left to dry. After drying it was loaded into a kodak K100 16mm camera and exposed to light using a variety of coloured gels, a torch igniter and a neon light ball. The treated film stock was exposed in the camera three times, at the end of each pass the film was rewound to the beginning and the camera's frame rate was changed. The first exposure was filmed at 24fps, the second at 48fps and the third at 64fps. Each pass the film stock was exposed to the same light sources. The film was then sent to a laboratory for processing and printing. Sections of the film, including individual frames were then selected from the footage and re-photographed using a JK optical printer
