For some, this experience felt like time travel as it required more meticulous preparation a slower, deliberate process that encouraged experimentation in a structured way. As one participant reflected, It required more humility, attention, and preparation... while also giving room for experimentation, and that was very good for us growing up in the digital age. Teachers and experienced filmmakers found the project similarly enriching, although with a different focus. Many had previously worked with analogue technology but appreciated the chance to revisit it and observe how younger participants engaged with the m edium. One teacher expressed the value of meeting and thinking together with a number of young professional directors and cinematographers. Another emphasised the collaborative learning experience : Ive had the opportunity to work with a lot of director s and cinematographers during the shoots and Ive learned a lot about the possibilities of directing actors. This blending of analogue and digital methods was also a highlight, as it allowed professionals to explore a fusion of traditional and contemporary techniques. The projects combination of analogue and digital techniques created a unique opportunity for experimentation and learning in filmmaking noted one experienced contributor. The scale and complexity of the production, with multiple locations, large numbers of extras, and intricate scheduling, further enriched the learning experience from a logistical and creative standpoint. Reflecting on the challenges, one participant shared, Shooting on analogue was an extremely new experience as a whole... with a large extra cast, lots of locations, time shifts, and countless shooting phases . In summary, the projects analogue approach offered young filmmakers an immersive introduction to celluloid, while experienced professionals found value in re - engaging with the medium alongside a new generation of learners.
