Actually back when I was going to do this sort of thing I had the same thing in mind. I love negative colours and I love deep blacks! :)

To be fair it's not that much chance in the process, everything will just be twice as wide. :) I just think that will be intresting with painted film.

Don't knock the magic beans. I only made it through 2007 thru magical thinking and chocolate. If the magic beans are cocoa beans it's okay by me! :)
Watch out for dental problems tho!

You could sit and paint film in the sun tho! :)

It's okay, not a big one for these times! :)

Yes! I too was suprised at this! Certainly the contact printers I've seen this would be impossible, however the guy who told me about this had a good deal of experience making 35mm prints, I can see it could be possible if a frame was exposed at a time and the print stock could move independantly of the neg. It doesn't seem right to me either tho. Aledgedly it is very limited too. I remember him talking about is so that there were only certain pre-sets, relating to 2 or 3 frame rates. *shrug* Even if it is possible on some machines you'd need to talk to your lab about it to see if they can do it on theirs.
love
Freya
