I was given some really old 8mm and 16mm colour film, it is too old to shoot with as the emulsion on the film isn't useful anymore due to age. However there is other technique I could use the film for. And one i've come across is burying the film into soil, which erodes the emulsion and strips away parts to create a weathered and damaged look to the film and also for unshot footage it can create a series of colours and patterns. I've started looking into useful blogs on this and also below are some videos I've found from Vimeo that use this technique.
