Yet another from the hard drives of my past. Rainwater runoff backlit by a sodium light. Austin, Texas, 2003.
Composition by Tray Duncan.

UncategorizedAnother one from the vaults, this one shot in 2003. An experiment in shooting super 8 with non-sync sound.
Mom is always so obliging a subject.

UncategorizedDigging through data.
A test video from the same process that spawned Floating in the Ether.
Stop. Motion.
UncategorizedScrewing around w. the time-lapse function on my digital still camera. I bought a cheap monopod to use as an improvised camera rig, just to see what it might do.

More kaleidoscopic kuts
UncategorizedThe first minute, refined.
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?

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.

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.

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…

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

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