Tactile Effects, 2022

Tactile Effects is a short experimental film that uses physical materials and techniques as the basis for playful transitions between found footage. Tactile Effects consists of two parts, a “primary composition” shot in-camera, and a “secondary composition” comprised of found footage.

          Conceptually, Tactile Effects looks to renew transitional effects that have become monotonous and cliché in the age of digital cinematic production. The inclusion of hands within the frame highlights the analog nature of the effects, as well as providing a literal depiction of the filmmaker/editor’s influence in cinema. The pairing of a physical process (the transitions) with found footage that is inherently digital, creates a contrast between the disciplines of traditional and contemporary filmmaking.
