In the new Whammy! Location 1200 N. Alvarado Street

Join TAPE for hands-on introduction to shooting on 16mm with a Bolex and learn how to process your own film negative! All supplies included and film handling included!

This is multiple workshops in one and covers a lot of ground - no experience necessary. If you've always wanted to get your hands on motion picture film, this is a great place to start! Participants will share a 100' roll of Kodak Double-X Negative film stock and will learn how to hand process the film using non-toxic caffenol made out of kitchen items coffee and beer!

Participants will be guided through the ins and outs of the spring-wound Bolex camera, a camera known for enabling notoriously gorgeous cinematography on the fly - no power necessary! Take this camera anywhere and you're ready to shoot with so many in camera effects at your fingertips.

Along with camera and cinematography basics, personal filmmaking techniques are explored as we experiment and discuss different ways to create filmic images in a mix of documentary and composition. Guidance on a film to digital workflow and other methodologies around film post production also provided, along with a thorough resource page for processing and purchasing film.

All participants will received a 2K scan of the workshop footage.
