Hello Frameworkers, I am collaborating with, and writing on behalf of a friend who wants to make a film using Ektachrome that will attempt to create a motion/color separation effect. Here are her words:
"I am seeking advice for shooting a three color separation in 16mm with Ektachrome color reversal film. The film will document three fixed-position nearly identical ice blocks with embedded plant materials. I plan to shoot on the same film reels doing three consecutive passes, each pass documenting the three ice blocks as they disintegrate. Using an Intervalometer for time-lapse, I am thinking I would need to use three different filters/gels to isolate the colors for each pass as the ice melts and the trapped matter/water fall out of alignment. Any advice/experience with a process like this would be much appreciated. Some questions are: 1. What RGB gels/filters would be recommended to filter out corresponding colors and produce the positive RGB color separation effect? 2. As Ektachrome is a reversal film, would I use the complementary filters for red (cyan), green (magenta) and blue (yellow)? Or should I be doing the opposite? With the understanding there will need to be light tests, etc, any additional advice on aperture compensation relative to a triple exposure (with gels) would be much appreciated." Sincerely, John Davis
