fingerprints.

With my plan ready, all I had to do was create the fingerprints. At first I wasn't sure how I was going to get them but I thought light might play a part, so I decided to dip my fingers in some acrylic and press them on tracing paper. I did a few black ones before using charcoal on a new piece of paper and dipping my fingers in white acrylic to create a contrast. I also did one that was golden because I thought it could go well with my idea of black/white/gold colour-scheme.

Then some sunlight decided to make me aware of it and I had the idea to put the tracing paper against the window to get a natural-looking lightbox. To my surprise, through the macro-lens it looked absolutely stunning. At first I tried to use a tripod, but the angle my window was at proved to be difficult to reach without tilting the tripod in some weird angles, so I decided to just film it hand-held. I did use the tripod to stabalize it a little.

I also decided to try and shoot a little ending - I wrote some text on two new pieces of tracing paper, and filmed myself putting them in front of the lens.

This went so smoothly there's not much I can say about it except that I'm excited to work on the footage and see where it takes me!
