Hi all, When Alan and I met the other day we took a little bit of footage on our digital cameras. I've been working on editing this into a short film ulitilising the kind of cut-up techniques found in the films Anthony Balch made with Burroughs and Gysin. Anyway this is a first cut. It's a wmv so you need a recent version of windows media player to view it...(fine for PC users but Mac people will have to download the player if they don't already have it installed). When I finish the film I will produce it in a variety of formats (probably wmv mpg and mov) actually I'm recutting the whole thing now using a different set of software tools. This first cut was just to see how some of the footage would hang together and test an analogue synth soundtrack.
The good thing about wmv however is the compression...file size is tiny so you can even view this on a dial-up connection. anyway here it is http://www.fluxlist.com/headgates.wmv in retrospect we should have shot more footage but the use of effects etc. makes it quite interesting. Film geeks may note the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ending :) cheers, Sol.
