This is a hand-painted film which has been photographically step-printed to achieve various effects of brief fades and fluidity-of-motion, and makes partial use of painted frames in repetition (for "close-up" of textures). The tone of the film is primarily dark blue, and the paint is composed (and rephotographed microscopically) to suggest galactic forms in a space of stars.

Need me a Stan Brakhage x William Basinski collab asap. I think I would've enjoyed this more if it was slowed down and had music (hence the Basinski); I think I would prefer watching 10 minutes of this instead.

I feel that this is one way that I'd love to experiment with film at some point and bring out a Stan Brakhage style film!!!
