Project ARC

Assemble.

Record.

Curate.

Project ARC's purpose is to archive family artificats and history in a way consists of three steps: assemble, record, and curate.




To develop the film, Andrew uses the "bucket method" where the film is placed in a bucket with the developing reagents and mixed by a gloved hand. This results in the imperfect and aged quality of having scratches and minor deformities -- something he tries to capture as part of the film process.
The film is then stretched out to dry overnight, as seen in the first picture below.

After developing, the two halves of the film must be nearly perfectly cut in half lengthwise before being spliced together. At this point, he is left with a negative image that can be played on a projector. This negative is then scanned. The video above shows what the raw negative scan looks like. Using digital video editing software (i.e. VSDC) Andrew color corrects, removes digital artifacts, and makes final edits. Finally, we havethe finished product: A perfectly vintage-style movie from reel-to-reel then digital.
