Thanks for this - I'll try it. I wonder what would happen if the video
were looped - Alan

You need Quicktime Pro to do this i guess.
Create an entirely black WinMask.gif and DragMask.gif the exact size of your
movie and follow the rest of the tutorial, you oughto end up with sth like
you see next to this mail on my desktop:

Disadvantage for performance: it gives you a white square when the film has
done playing, making for a floodlight. You can avoid that only by hitting
CTRL Enter in time (+ include sufficient black frames at the end of your
movie)
Alternetavely you could some soft/hard combinations like Pinnacle PCTV, that
hides all frames except a 3 pixel border. The Pinnacle TV card also comes
with a remote control which is handy on stage. But then you'd have to
convert all your qt's to MPEG streams or AVI DV's.

BTW the suzanne-graham was great!

Onderwerp: Re: THE FIRST MOVIE and TECH QUESTION
Was just thinking more about this. First, the easiest way to
get an interesting flicker movie - aim a video camera at a TV
w/ negative image on - it loops b&w sometimes colors.
More to the point for pared-down, the 'Ganzfeld' pieces - I
think from the 60s or 70s at the latest - were far more
minimal; you pressed your face against a soft translucent
inflated material (i.e. no focussing, no image at all), and
the flickering literally effected (and affected) the entire
visual field. The online piece still has a minimal quicktime border.
Which leads me to the TECH QUESTION -
Does anyone know how to present a quicktime movie without the
border at all - i.e. just the moving image on-screen? I'd
like to move towards this with my performance.
I'm not referring to the 'full screen' mode of presentation,
but an image which occupies only a part of the screen -
without a frame or with a very minimal frame. Any
suggestions/help more than greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alan
