Definitely critiquing traditional nature documentaries. You can see a

Hi,

I have a friend who is looking for experimental animated
documentaries that follow non narrative structures, and animated
documentaries which function as a critique of traditional
documentary techniques.

Any suggestions for her?

Many thanks,

Re: [Frameworks] Timelapse and camera shutter/mirror jam

[Andrew Connor]

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the advice - I wondered about the intervalometer, but I've 
also checked the camera by taking a lot of shots in quick succession, 
and it's still happening when I do that, so I think it's definitely the 
camera that's the issue.


Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

I do not have a lot of experience with the camera you are using but I 
do work a lot with time lapse using film. I'm just wondering you say 
you are using an intervalometer to trigger the shutter. Is this 
intervalometer separate unit from the camera? Usually when I have 
problems with time lapse it's not the camera but the intervalometer 
acting up.


Sorry can't be much more help then this.

Roger

To: <mailto:frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com>>



Hi,.

Just wondered if anyone else has been doing timelapse sequences - I've
started using them in my animations, but have just hit a bit of a 
problem.


I'm using a Canon 450D (equivalent to a Rebel XSi in the US), using
manual settings for f-stop, ISO and shutter speeds (1/15)  to fit the
light conditions, and triggering with an intervalometer at 1 second or 2
second intervals. I usually need quite long sequences for my work, so
it's not unusual for me to take up to 4,500 shots in one sequence.

For some reason, the camera jams after between 5 and 40 shots,
displaying an Err. 99 message (a generic error - it just advises you to
turn the camera off and on again!), but when I've done this with the
lens off I can see that the mirror is sticking about halfway up as it
lifts to expose the sensor and shutter mechanism.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy (and cheap) way to
fix it, or is it just the result of wear and tear by taking lots of
shots in long continuous sequences?

Thanks,

Andy

Re: [Frameworks] Exper film/ art MA in the UK?

[Andrew Connor]

Hi,

You could take a look at the Film Directing MA/MFA at Edinburgh - the 
Edinburgh College of Art has recently merged into the University, which 
is fairly high in international rankings. I'm doing a PhD there in 
Creative Music Practice, but my studies involve animation, and the 
people I've met in the film-making area all seem quite driven and 
engaged in interesting projects. I did the sound design for one student 
there, which was short-listed for a Scottish BAFTA for new entrants into 
the field. There are more details at 
http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/edinburgh-college-art/graduate-school/taughtdegrees/ma-mfa-filmdirect/overview


Cheers,

Andy

Hi all!
I make experimental films and am considering doing an MA somewhere in 
the UK. Any recommendations? I know Kingston does a experimental film 
MA. Of course there are plenty of fine art courses but I don't know 
which ones are better for that kind of work. I have a 1st class Fine 
Art (media) BA from the Slade.


Thank you
