The resulting damage was then repaired and the separate lengths joined together in strict order. At its simplest it is a pun on the phrase "to shoot film". My idea was to portray the concept of shooting a film as a physical and literal action. The film can be seen as pure documentation of an act. The damage done becomes the image and the soundtrack." -Pope
