This includ
ed 16mm color negative, 35mm color negative, 35mm Black & White Infrared film, Timelapse, and High Speed footage.



The shots of the young drummer were filmed at 3000 fps."We burned through a 400' roll of 16mm film in about 17 seconds" quips Roderick.

Other experiments included optical variations, such as shooting through the front lens of a "Leiko" Spot Light - and even trying out some "Pinhole" photography.
