Synopsis

Further examining the medium of film itself, *Colorfilm* is a work Lawder created while attempting to make a minimalist, "pure color" film. Using spliced-together strips of colored film leader in white, yellow, blue, red, green, and others, Lawder ran the film through a projector and found the results to be quite boring. While running the film, however, he noticed how beautiful the colored strips appeared as they moved through the projector. He then turned a camera on the projector and filmed the colored film as it wound through the projector's machinery. — Noel Black, *Colorado Springs Independent*

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
