So that I understand this right, do I shoot under-exposed shots so that the film turns out nicely with double-exposed shots or do I just shoot as per normal?

OK, so let me get this straight. What exactly are we doing? How does this work? I'm kinda confused... pardon my ignorance
And thanks slappy!
- see directions 2 posts down.johnny_wobble
- in your case, you're getting a disposable camera, shooting it, send to slappy sounds like. then he'll send you a camera with his roll of film.johnny_wobble
- ...roll of film.johnny_wobble
- jaylarson0
- I don't mind sending you my spare camera.funkage
- you'd have to take the film out and send it to your partner, and load the roll you get from them.johnny_wobble
- you could handle loading film into a camera, if that's what you mean. you just need a camera and a partner. :)johnny_wobble

directions
1. you and your partner both shoot a roll of 35mm film (so everybody starts by shooting a roll)
2. after you shoot through the roll, you send it to your partner. so everybody gets a roll that's been shot through once.
3. you load the roll of film you got from your partner, and shoot the second exposure over it.
4. when you finish the second exposures, you develop it, get digital files and share with your partner. so together, you and your partner have 2 rolls worth of shots.- < this. just don't forget not to wind your roll all the way back so your partner can shoot itJG_LB

Final Additions (you all in?)
bigtrick & ali
jay (c'mon jay!) & ???? *I sent Simon a message :)------------
that's 20 people, so let's cut it off there. if simon or jay aren't down, somebody can take their spot.
and we should definitely do books! we could run a kickstarter campaign to cover the expense for each of us a book + enough to cover the cost of some reward books for funders.
we could do prints for donors of smaller amounts, 25 bucks or so to help fund our books. let's do this!

hey so what's the time frame? do we just shoot the first roll through the holidays, and swap after new year? or are there other rules.
- sea_sea0

Okay. This all sounds really good. So, by when should we send out the rolls for exchange? Shall we fix a date? And we definitely should compile it into a book!
PS. I'm from Singapore.
- i don't think we need a set deadline. 1st roll shot over the holidays. sent out after new years.johnny_wobble
- PS. oh HELL yes.snarl
- ali0
Do we keep it totally random or say do 1st half backgrounds, 2nd half objects and vica versa?
- i don't think we need any rules. i like leaving it to chance, but whatever you and your partner want to do.johnny_wobble
- Is the email address in your profile current, ali? I sent an email to itbigtrick
