A heavily deteriorated film recording of a skeletal warrior in medieval armor, captured on decaying 16mm stock with severe emulsion damage. Prominent film burns create holes in the image, while chemical stains spread across the frame like watercolors. Excessive film grain mingles with projection wear, creating a thick texture of authentic analog artifacts. The warrior appears through layers of scratched celluloid and processing errors, while the shield's glitching holographic skull remains vibrantly neon. Physical splicing marks and frame jitter create unstable movement, enhanced by light leaks and exposure fluctuations. Mold patterns and vinegar syndrome degradation add organic decay patterns. The background dissolves into pure film damage, with sprocket hole intrusion and frame line bleeding. Shot on found footage with intentional mishandling and accelerated aging effects.
