Hi there -
I want to do that old trick where you create "twins" on camera by simply blacking off half the image, shooting a person in the non-blacked off section, rewinding the film, then blacking off the opposite side and having the same person be photographed again, in the new position, resulting in two images of the same person.
My question is: what's the best way to actually DO this? How does one black off a perfect halfway mark, then make another one exactly opposite so there isn't some hair-line mark indicating that two exposures have been made?
Does this make sense? I'm not very crafty with my hands, and I can totally imagine using a ruler or something to measure off two hunks of cardboard and having them end up being a tad off and botching the whole process... help!
