Frames
UncategorizedPlaying with individual frames. More kaleidoscopic kraziness.
More kaleidoscopic play
UncategorizedA continuation of test footage using a kaleidoscope and composition by Mike Vernusky. Considering different color combinations, textures, rhythms. I’ll continue to lay down raw material like this, then begin to play with individual frames.

UncategorizedA short video of the same painted footage in the previous posts. Composition by Mike Vernusky. Test sequence for a larger project?

UncategorizedPlaying around with eyedroppers, inks and watercolor paper.
Photography through a kaleidoscope reminds me of looking at the world through a slide and microscope. Or a telescope to the stars.

UncategorizedIn advance of my screening at the Cucalorus Film Festival, I returned to “Autumnal” to massage a few transitions that didn’t sit well with me. A few stills from the video:

UncategorizedBack 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 what all these frames might look like when animated.

UncategorizedMore 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…)

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

UncategorizedExperimenting 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.
