ST. LOUISE

1999, 5 minutes, 16mm with sound

This film was originally made for Soul Coughing's national tour to be used for on-stage projections.

Many of the simplest direct animation techniques are showcased - architectural appliqués and rub-ons, bleach and resist treatment of previously photographed emulsion, scratched and cut black leader, and even emulsion that has been carefully heated and burned with magnified sunlight. Selected bits have been rephotographed onto print stock, which reverses the polarity (or "inverting" as it is called digitally) of the original film.
