  • Tin Foiled Post Production

    I’m in the final stages of a long gestating and quite complex documentary project called “Tin Foiled”, which will be an alternate look at the current discussion around conspiracy theory. Originally it was planned as a one off mini doc, but since the breadth of the subject is huge and the amount of research material has been time consuming to collect, it’s seems better served to be released as a mini series of films. While there is still quite a large chunk of post production work on the table, I’m quietly confident the first of the films will be ready to start releasing in the first part of 2026.

    A Multi plane animation stand, repurposed to backlight and scan 35mm film.

    Home film scanning and projector set ups have built up a sizeable niche movement over recent years, no doubt fired up by the availability of higher resolution digital cameras and the resurgence in analogue film interest. Youtube and social media are awash with examples of various DIY attempts to capture old film collections, or to scan home developed film. While it’s possible to tape a 35mm slide to a bright window, then take a photo, generally the simplest practical set ups take the form of a tripod/copy stand, back light and camera..sometimes tethered to a computer.
