Scratch film junkies

The video was pretty cool and show me what i can do with film. I like how they can scratch the film, and when you watch it the scratch moves left to right and such. That must took a while to do. I wonder if they plan the whole video out or went by the fly of their pants. When it comes to art, expression, and stuff of that nature, i don't like to plan it out much, but see where mind takes me. I liked how the junkies match the action of the shapes and objects to the music. The real life video mixed in with their manipulation was ok. When the music got louder the screen became busy with a lot of shapes and objects. I would like to know how they control the ink they apply to the film stock, if they controlled it at all. This class so far seems that it is going to be a fun and interesting, which i like, mostly because i get to work with my hands and there it no essay papers to write, only this blog. i don't know if i will use any of these techniques in the kinda of films that i wanna make, most likely westerns, cause i grew up watching them, mostly John Wayne. I still like to know these techniques incase i do need them, maybe i make a couple of experimental films, who knows. The scratch film junkies's film was a good why to introduce the class to the things we will be doing in the class. It looks lilke there were quite a bit different techniques to manipulate film.
