First Post

Experimental Video to me means using your imagination to create a piece of film that lacks conformity. It does not have to follow a story line and can involve whatever you want as long as it holds a particular concept.

I have made several nonsence stop motion animations in the past that I would class as experimental. As a result of this project, I expect to create a experimental film that fits the contours of what experimental means and what it stands for. I also expect to review and analyse various famous, interesting and notable experimental films along the way.
