Keep in mind that one very bright composition will dominate the other (layers), thus "correct" exposure if important. If f/5.6 is "correct" for each of two layers, then use f/8 for each; stopping down one stop reduces the light by half.

The Bolex has that great frame counter, allowing you to position the images you are superimposing quite precisely, if you write the numbers down. Markopoulos used this to great effect in films such as his /Galaxie/.

Greetings all,

I want to experiment with shooting double exposures on 16mm in my Bolex.  Seeking tips on how to approach it, what works and doesn’t work.

I’ve been told to close down a stop (f8 to f5.6 e.g.) for each exposure so that there isn’t too much light.

What kinds of values and compositions are most effective?  What else to think about?

thanks kindly,

Sarah
