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.

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.

UncategorizedRevisiting 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.
Video stills
UncategorizedThoughts 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.
Strangely enough, WordPress’ Flash-based uploader ignores the alphabetical order in which I named the image files. Thus, my storyboard becomes random. Interesting…
Video
UncategorizedSeeing what x264 and WP’s Flash-based compression do to one of my vids. Resolution seems better, but load time is a bitch.
Photography
UncategorizedTwo painted transparencies, layered and composited in Photoshop. Like the inner chamber of the heart, rendered plastic.

UncategorizedA 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.
