BISHBASHBOSHSTART FREEX-Pro Hand Crank
Signature style in the BishBashBosh style library. Cross-processed: hot yellows and acid yellow-green highlights, bruised cyan and blue shadows, reds, greens and blues that pop while browns hold, blown whites that glow, crushed blacks.
- Camera
- Hand-cranked camera: the crank speeds and slows within the shot, so the motion stutters and lurches — step-printed smears, crash zooms and whip pans, flash frames
- Lens
- Long lenses and wide zooms, flaring, soft at the edges
- Film stock
- Ektachrome reversal stock, overexposed by stops and cross-processed as negative: hard contrast, almost no latitude, coarse gritty grain
- Lighting
- Hard daylight overexposed by stops; sodium, fluorescent and bare bulbs at night, nothing softened
- Colour
- Cross-processed: hot yellows and acid yellow-green highlights, bruised cyan and blue shadows, reds, greens and blues that pop while browns hold, blown whites that glow, crushed blacks
