Emulsion Entr’acte; intermission
Director
youtube > super 8 > 16mm > optical printer the Ohio State University performs their 'Hollywood Blockbuster' halftime show. an investigation of synchronization….all under its own ‘orchestration’ in form. ….with this process there are many chances for their march to ‘fall out of line’ as the film strips dance together, overlap, become separated and ultimately create their own intermission....

(I)FRAME
Director
A video is a stream of information, and this moving image relies upon the relationship of static frames, which are algorithmically determined. In the language of video compression, the (I) frames are the reference points between which movement is interpolated. Manual deletion or misplacement of (I) frames results in a video glitch known as a datamosh: the stream of nformation d srupted, d sorgan zed … nterupeted … lost … the ( ) frame removed, rejected … BUT, reclaimed, the (I) frames, the burning bolts of the machine, are at once reasserted in this dance macabre ... (I) FRAME is a mechanical ballet set to the original tempo that characterizes motion on screen at 24 "(I) frames" a second...

Effigy in Emulsion
Director
EFFIGY IN EMULSION is a study in exposure change to uncover/un-develop a stolen memory. The concept is conceived in the musing: who took the photograph that washed out a frame of this film? A hybridization of mediums and tools (8mm, 16mm, optical printer) are used to investigate the camera flash that washed out a frame in the hopes of uncovering a hidden emotion. A meditation on equipoise is addressed in the guided evolvement and retraction of light on the optical printer.
