Back to animating individual frames for Cosmos. Cutting each image down to a frame or two is tedious as all hell, but I can cheat it by cropping them to a few seconds each, then running the whole clip in fast motion. Nuance and rhythm is lost, but it gives be a basic idea of…

More kaleidoscopic kraziness at Coney Island, wondering how I might be able to use these simple toys for something more than just play. (Not that there’s anything wrong with letting your brain out to play for awhile…)

Video
Experimenting with my kaleidoscope, the video mode on my camera, and reshooting a Quicktime version of Autumnal off my computer monitor.

Video/Stills
More stills from a painted filmstrip for Cosmos, along with a short, simple animation. I like WP’s gallery mode for images; makes it a lot easier to product a visual storyboard in short order.

Experimenting with inks and solvents for Cosmos. Three brief sequences, including one that I took these stills from. Some video compression, but you get the idea. The Ann Arbor Film Festival recently asked me to write about the making of Cosmos, which you can read on nyerges.com.

Revisiting Red Hook, more than a year and a half after my first visit. Ikea where graving docks once lay. More fun with toys as optics.

Space
The things you’ll find on the Internets… … more images and data about our sun that you can shake a stick at. A colorful diversion from my ongoing thoughts of Jupiter and Saturn.

Video stills
Thoughts of Jupiter and Saturn on my mind; no wonder my shoulders feel heavy. Continuing to work with inks and solvents to see how they behave. From a series of video sequences I’ve been working with, a timeline and a return to visual storyboarding. I think I might use just this sequence as a process…

Video stills
Shooting inks again. Sequential stills from a video sequence. Thinking of jovian environments.

Video
Seeing what x264 and WP’s Flash-based compression do to one of my vids. Resolution seems better, but load time is a bitch.

Refractions
Playing with the morning sunlight and a glass of iced coffee. Looking at recurring patterns of light.

Seems Jupiter‘s been in the news lately. A few images that caught my eye: This also resembles that:
-
Art
Went home to STL, and discovered the work of local artist Lisa Lenke (who, strangely, does not seem to have a website). Sculpture from sugar.
-
Photography
Two painted transparencies, layered and composited in Photoshop. Like the inner chamber of the heart, rendered plastic.

Video
Creatively on summer holiday. A test video from the “Polar” gestation period. Part one. Picture at 18 seconds in. Not at all pleased with this Flash-based compression that WordPress uses, but I’ve yet to discover a decent format that doesn’t kill all the detail.

Video
A single painted filmstrip, plus the twirl filter in Final Cut Pro toolbox. Not serious. Just seeing what pushing a button will do. Not much. But it’s pretty.
-
Walkabout
An unexpected discovery in Inwood Park, proving solitude can still be had in the biggest city in the nation.
-
Strips to slides
Cut up a few painted filmstrips and placed them in slide mounts. Sort of reframing the strip, a device for projections, or “framed” as mini art. Need to get some scans up, but here’s a photo of the end result. Clickable for a larger view:

Layered transparencies
Acrylic on acetate; three views, from largest to smallest. Clickable for larger views.
