Ten Commandments Collage

I took these multiple exposures of the motion picture "The Ten Commandments" when it was shown for Easter on ABC-TV on April 6th, 1980. I pointed my Minolta XD11 at the tv screen and got these scenes. The Ten Commandments has always been my favorite movie and I even saw it in the theaters when it was making the rounds in 1966 during it's 10-year rerelease.

The negatives were in terrible shape. It looked like they got exposed a little along the edges from the photofinisher I used and they were underdeveloped and grainy. I had taken 23 different screens, in different combinations of multiple exposures and combined some of the better images that remained into this one collage. Originally, I took only four pictures - the first one was of one tv screen filling the frame, the second had four tv screens on one frame and the last two frames each had 9 tv screens on them.
