Here’s some footage from a recent Blue Cross campaign we shot with two Red Ones and a Phantom HD camera. This sequence was shot at 1000 fps and ramped in post. The Red and Phantom footage cut well together.

A year or so ago, I was inspired to work on a bit of visual poetry. I had these bits and fragments of ideas scribbled here and there. I wanted to bring it all together and create something a bit enigmatic and immersive for the reader. What follows is a teaser of sorts for what ended up being about a four minute experiment in typography, image/afterimage, and audio interaction.

Maybe one day, I’ll want to share the whole thing…but it’s a piece that’s oddly near and dear to me. The orginial, entitled A Masquerade Profane, is HD @ 24p; which, believe me, makes for a much richer experience. I’ll credit the audio you hear to a friend, Ian Perkins. I’ve diced it up quite a bit in this teaser, but it’s a great snag from his collection of tracks, Songbird.

Cheers,

This being my first post, I’d like to introduce myself a bit and give a little insight into what kind of content you can expect from me. You can read my bio if you find that sort of thing interesting. I’ve uploaded a clip of just some snippet of video I churned out one day…this is the sort of thing I like to mess with.

The concept of the global village, the simultaneous image, the tension between representability and perception, the reciprocity of visual exchange…I know, I know, it all sounds so high-brow. My antics can get in the way sometimes. I just think that there’s a lot more wrapped up in watching a piece of video than (drumroll please!) meets the eye.

Anywho, I’m looking forward to a great ongoing conversation in this little corner of the tubes. So, let the flame wars, lurking, trolling, +1-ing, and all related quirks of blogdom begin.

cheers…
