Sketch Film #1 (Tomonari Nishikawa, 2005, 3 min., super 8, silent, 18/24fps, b&w, USA) As a painter carries a sketchbook and practices drawing, I carried a Super 8 camera and shot frame by frame, as an everyday exercise to make animations of lines and shapes found in the public space. The entire film was edited in camera and hand-processed afterwards.

RIP Tomonari Nishikawa, who passed away on April 20 after battling cancer. Crazy that he was only a year younger than me.
I really, really like this short film. Reminds me of the stuff I did and dreamed about doing back when I was in college and throughout the nineties. Wish I had someone close to me to encourage me to pursue it. I would’ve gone back to school (and coincidentally lived not that far from Binghamton University in New York).
