If you want to hide the splices you need a cement
> splicer that cuts right on the frameline
said Fred Camper
I'm sorry, although I have complete and utter deep respect for what you
wrote inside the Brakhage DVD and other statements you have made over the
years.
This last one is absolutely retarded.
In order for the neg to glue itself onto another neg or black leader, it
requires a flap, an overlap that flap is way beyond the frame line.
The purpose of A B rolling is to hide the splice, hide it under the black
leader, of course there is the one frame black leader single frame edit that
Stan use to do but that's an other story
In my own opinion cutting negative is easy, and every self respecting
legitimate filmmaker (especially experimental)
should at least do it once
