3part Harmony: Composition in RGB #1

A colour separation dance film shot on black and white 16mm film through Red, Green, and Blue filters, edited, manipulated and recombined to colour in camera on an optical printer.

Overview

This experimental dance film employs a bastardized version of the 1930s three strip Technicolor process. Shot entirely on black and white film through color filters, the images were recombined into full color through optical printing techniques, one frame at a time. The gestures in this dance work explore the psychological fracturing and reunification in representations of the female body.
