An amazing workshop that i had that i had the opportunity to attend to run by Tomato.He showed his work and really fascinated me how his mind thinks.Experimenting, mark making through different techniques makes the work even more interesting.We had been shown a technique where u take a 16mm film and you work on it with anything.My way was basically using lettraset, ink, a thick marker, spray painting, and stencil.
My film is based on a book called A type Detective Story: The Crime scene.The story is with two detectives that are trying to put an end to the alphabetic violence and character assasination that have invaded the printed word.Starting with ink then lettraset, a mixture of both, spraypainting stencils lead to an amazing result.Quite abstract and strong, with bold characters that create dynamic shapes and visuals.The whole experience was awsome, i really missed put my hands on to my work with the real meaning 'put my hands on'.






Pictures from the book that inspired me on how to do this.
