[Frameworks] bolex rewind/2x exposure Q

[Karl Reinsalu]

It's tedious, yes, but I read her comment as an and/or and knowing her work
she's not used to doing things the easy way ;D.
I've done both and my choice is always project or camera dependent.

Lets say as one example you are using an aaton, you are now obligated to
rewind in a darkroom and mark the frame for a dual exposure due to the
camera not running backwards
Now switch to a bolex and so long as you know the mechanism is clean and
you go slow and steady there should be no issues; just your time which is
often cheap in comparison to the items on a film budget.
I've also forgotten my key and literally would by hand from one spool to
another in my dark bag in the middle of a field.

In my experience with motion picture, nothing is easy, and nothing that is
easy usually turns out well... and ultimately it's all easier when you gain
the experience from practice.
Best of everything with what you're doing.
