Of course this is right; sorry to give the wrong impression here. My
main point was that most experimental/avant-garde filmmakers shot
reversal partly in order to work without workprints, editing the
original. Brakhage once said that he never could edit a workprint and
then "conform" the original because by the time he got to the original
he would likely make a different film out of it.
