Somehow the hand made "ray o grams" don't seem "slick" to me -
elaborate in a way but not slick. Maybe it's tempting to think this
being the results are 35mm scope ?

...this I think might almost be worth considering as a model for how
narrative in cinema can operate !
The tension it seems to me does hinge on narrative expectations in the
Perils Of Pauline sense, but the tracks and locomotive are inevitably
the strips of "celluloid" itself.
Why I said Hollywood likely won't exploit the fact/tension of the
strips of plastic.
