Original -- The Ghost Of Christmas Passed Gas

For my final film in my 16mm production class this semester, I made this little film. It stars the ever wonderful Magical Sara and is a collaboration from our mixed up minds. Enjoy!

Overall, the class was a good challenge for me. As someone who grew up thinking in digital, working in digital and creating in digital, the whole process of filming on Kodak Film Stock, sending film to a processing lab in the middle of nowhere, and anxiously awaiting the return initially drove me up the wall. In the end, the process did teach me a lot about overcoming limitations and doing what has to be done to get a film finished. If you have ever worked with a Bolex, you know what I mean.

The Bolex. My old nemesis.

Of course, I ended up making a funny little film with a goofy punch line and a sweet sound track but don't be fooled -- the production of this COLOR 16mm film was tough. I look forward to going back to working with digital soon. I miss my mini DV's.

It should have ended right with a zoom on the ghost's face after the fart. Other than that, its gravy cakes.
