	PROCESS
	I gathered scraps of black leader from a processing lab and took them in my shower. I soaked them in a basin of water to soften the emulsion while I washed myself. Every few minutes I would roughly agitate the film. Some soap and shampoo mixed with the basin water, but I doubt this had any effect on the film. Because the emulsion was already fixed, the film was strong and did not scratch as much as I expected. After splicing the pieces together, I transferred the scratched images to Mini DV by shooting the projection from a white wall. I intended to fuse audio and image in Final Cut Pro. However, I had not intended to use the resultant recorded sounds of projection. But when I slowed down the footage in Final Cut Pro, the projection clatter became droning and hypnotic; I was intrigued by the slowed audio. So, instead of exploring only slowed pictures, I decided to also explore slowed sound.
