Each frame of this short was printed by hand. Prints were exposed to individual frames of the original film clip via an IBM Thinkpad R51 running Maverick Meerkat.
The prints were later scanned back into the laptop to produce this short. The original 24 fps were cherry picked down to 10 fps.
Prints were made on Fortepan Fortespeed B&W paper with Agfa Rodinal developer, Ilfo Stopbath and Agfa fixer.
Here you can see Melvin Van Peebles running from the police in Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song.
