[Frameworks] Film and etching

[Morgan Hoyle-Combs]

 Jonathan, if you are looking to get your hands on some found footage, or "blank" footage to get started on with you student, I'm more than willing to donate reels of it over to you. Let me know if this is something the student would like. 
Best, 
M

 Hello Frameworks community,
I’m hoping to tap your knowledge on filmmaking matters. I’m working with a student on an independent research project that is primarily “academic” (i.e. reading and writing scholarly stuff). However, it has taken a turn into filmmaking, as this student wants to work directly with film in the interest of producing better ideas and writing on the subject, something I heartily endorse. She is especially interested in etching, and is in an etching class in which they’re working with all manner of chemicals and doo-dads (a press, for instance). 
I wonder if anyone here has experience with this sort of thing - i.e. subjecting celluloid to the processes and machinery of etching. Of course we are exploring scratching on film, but we are both more interested in going further with a film/etching analogy. Anything at all would be helpful, because while I am familiar enough (for the purposes of this study) with cameras, processing, etc. (the student is using my own Bolex), I am at sea when it comes to this. 
Ideas, references (films or texts), warnings, etc. all welcomed.
Thanks in advance!JW
