My first year attending the University of Colorado, Boulder, I a single course on film production. The class was taught by Don Yannacito (who makes an appearance in Matt Stone and Trey Parker's first film Cannibal: The Musical). Then they started you off on 8 millimeter film, and you had to work your way up from there. One of our first assignments was to make a film loop. The objective was to experiment with shape, form and movement inside the film frame. I decided to juxtapose horizontal movement and vertical lines. My second film assignment is also included. It is composed of mainly found footage and scratches on black leader film. It was what I could assemble when much of one assignment came back all black. I name the film Invisible Kid because the editing rhythm syncs with the Metallica song of the same name.
