"Watercolours" is an experimental art film by Michael Collier. Collier used music, colour manipulations, optical printing effects, and other techniques to create an overall psychedelic effect.
Starting with two 100' rolls of 16mm film shot on his Bolex camera Collier spent many hours over two years in the lab printing and reprinting the footage on different film using 'wrong' chemicals; he also experimented with multiple passes in the printer mixing colour negative and positive elements. The unique flashing and tinting effects were created by Collier with Vilmos Zsimond, Academy Award-winning cinematographer. Their innovative technique involved exposing the shot negative in a printer to low levels of coloured light before developing.
