I took a visual approach to the project exploring motion picture, starting from 8mm film and that being an everyday medium for the average western family to now modern high definition video. I found the tools for 8mm really fun and interesting. The image in 8mm in motion gave a strong feel of how movies are made, which is fresh because with digital video I feel removed from the structure of film and motion picture.<br />I also think its an odd regurgitation of mediums analogue to digital so it does portray the relationship between the two quite well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-9887836597443855952009-05-07T16:17:00.000-07:002009-05-07T16:29:34.797-07:00Installing my work has been relatively simple, I think sometimes with a complex presentation it can take away from the content of the work. In my case this digital 8mm DVD is being played on a small TV screen on a plinth, which focuses our attention on the picture in the screen rather the space in which we view the work. Putting the TV on a plinth is a subtle way of making the TV seem grand and important (to a lesser extent) in which a cinema projection would hold the same grand nature.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-5327557159289428002009-05-07T01:02:00.000-07:002009-05-07T01:06:17.843-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV4Eb3ybZM6b2VGbUmQPGJv5XC2VSbJtY0-H9fsPkoW9-CLZKLXm6nIwq6yfMj6jK7QjoOTciGp-1j0x8UwOntMgo5JDwSz5XAzHhBYHvRqh-9OweNdbQZQg2Bnc-dO8B8v-gbDSQEBwxt/s1600-h/DSC02166.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV4Eb3ybZM6b2VGbUmQPGJv5XC2VSbJtY0-H9fsPkoW9-CLZKLXm6nIwq6yfMj6jK7QjoOTciGp-1j0x8UwOntMgo5JDwSz5XAzHhBYHvRqh-9OweNdbQZQg2Bnc-dO8B8v-gbDSQEBwxt/s400/DSC02166.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332989975520773746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9rzB2UDBpgH6EIrs9HoCVksNAWAQMJ9DbC_9Ib4tKN4xgkIuIq3CWl_Crf6uPzX1FnhVgpNBFiD2-AQqjwtGjTCAKEczs_AqWJnXkWr35-bXHJs4VscuNIVSJm72lmOza1Dm1tiuVEwu/s1600-h/DSC02165.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9rzB2UDBpgH6EIrs9HoCVksNAWAQMJ9DbC_9Ib4tKN4xgkIuIq3CWl_Crf6uPzX1FnhVgpNBFiD2-AQqjwtGjTCAKEczs_AqWJnXkWr35-bXHJs4VscuNIVSJm72lmOza1Dm1tiuVEwu/s400/DSC02165.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332989973398928946" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-63358248665563690422009-05-07T01:01:00.000-07:002009-05-07T16:04:43.791-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQclXlxGP_WOPCVtdnLxBYtm7ius0LjxTMgQBCtlg1uGrpIeF2eNgcGt5gNDoyej_MHU1vJ_MJIIOdMREdIkgnkGKUQ3wqxrpRX6IN7TVUS0ZpKyQ3yzeSuvnFNueiaUHlB6td8jdurFB0/s1600-h/DSC02164.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQclXlxGP_WOPCVtdnLxBYtm7ius0LjxTMgQBCtlg1uGrpIeF2eNgcGt5gNDoyej_MHU1vJ_MJIIOdMREdIkgnkGKUQ3wqxrpRX6IN7TVUS0ZpKyQ3yzeSuvnFNueiaUHlB6td8jdurFB0/s400/DSC02164.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333220978393896562" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-74800459387120297172009-05-07T00:02:00.000-07:002009-05-07T00:11:33.301-07:00motion picture elephant<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyWNQqnRTLTfu1XM7MBzxg5l6_x8pKuFIc5pKiZ2lhxi5RqHho8hSrmV7JgZ3rkAJ2N9gN-2suIMyq8rC8f' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />This was a small extract from the digital video I recorded from the digital 8mm film which was screened on the analogue editor.<br />The image quality isn't quite what I had hoped for, which could have been adjusted by shooting the subject on a higher resolution video camera, or even a fast shooting stills camera. The size of the image could have had more attention with aligning to fit the projector . But I don't want to feel too down on the poor image quality because it wasn't an exercise to fully replicate motion picture film.

The film spools actually contain a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_mm_film" title="16 mm film">16 mm film</a> with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, thereby fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometimes called <i>Double 8</i>. The frame size of regular 8 mm is 4.8 mm x 3.5 mm and 1m film contains 264 pictures. Normally Double8 is filmed at 16 frames per second.</p> <p>Common length film spools allowed filming of about 3 minutes to 4.5 minutes at 12, 15, 16 and 18 frames per second.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak" title="Kodak" class="mw-redirect">Kodak</a> ceased selling standard 8 mm film in the early 1990s, but continued to produce the film, which was sold via independent film stores. Black-and-white 8 mm film is still manufactured in the Czech Republic, and several companies buy bulk quantities of 16 mm film to make regular 8 mm by re-perforating the stock, cutting it into 25 foot (7.6 m) lengths, and collecting it into special standard 8 mm spools which they then sell. Re-perforation requires special equipment. Some specialists also produce super 8 mm film from existing 16 mm, or even 35 mm film stock.</p> <p><a name="Super_8" id="Super_8"></a></p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=8_mm_film&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Super 8">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Super 8</span></h2> <div class="rellink noprint relarticle mainarticle">Main article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_mm_film" title="Super 8 mm film">Super 8 mm film</a></div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Super_8_Footage.gif" class="image" title="Some Super 8 footage shot in Wellington New Zealand"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cc/Super_8_Footage.gif" class="thumbimage" width="250" border="0" height="214" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Super_8_Footage.gif" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" width="15" height="11" /></a></div> Some Super 8 footage shot in Wellington New Zealand</div> </div> </div> <p>In 1965, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_mm_film" title="Super 8 mm film">Super-8 film</a> was released and was quickly adopted by the amateur film-maker. It featured a better quality image, and was easier to use mainly due to a cartridge-loading system which did not require re-loading halfway through. Sometimes, the improvement was not as apparent, since the film gate in some cheap Super 8 cameras was plastic as was the pressure plate, which was built in to the cartridge, whereas the standard 8 cameras had a permanent metal film gate which was more reliable in keeping the image in focus.</p> <p>There was another version of Super-8 film, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-8" title="Single-8">Single-8</a>, produced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujifilm" title="Fujifilm">Fuji</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a>. It has the same final film dimensions, but the cassette is different. The Kodak system was by far the most popular. Super-8 was at one point available with a magnetic sound track at the edge of the film but this only made up 5 to 8% of Super-8 sales and was discontinued in the 1990s.</p> <p>There has been a huge resurgence of Super-8 film in recent years due to advances in film stocks and digital technology. Film can handle far greater variations in contrast than video cameras and thus has become an alternative for acquisition. The idea is to shoot on the low cost Super-8 equipment then transfer the film to video for editing. In recent years, the format itself has been further improved by enlarging the aperture of the camera to expose into the now obsolete sound track region allowing for a wide-screen image. This has been given the title "super-duper-8" or "max-8" and is gradually gaining popularity despite the availability of affordable digital video cameras.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since January 2008" style="white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</span></sup></p><p><br /></p><p><sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since January 2008" style="white-space: nowrap;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_mm_film <br /></span></sup></p><p>visited on the 7 May 2009</p><p><br /></p><p>This material explains the basic ideas and descriptions of 8mm film.

I sliced them in 8mm strips and cello-taped together to make a film reel. The end result was a total mash up of colour and form. There was the odd flash of recognition but the majority of the experience consisted in the colour. the flashing shutter added a more viewable nature to the experiment due to the individualising of each opening of the shutter, also adding to the fundamental elements of motion picture.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-75969794219346730692009-05-06T18:11:00.000-07:002009-05-06T18:16:28.240-07:008mm digital test #1<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzxYcm9PuQod0evUwRLGniKXuv7eTsJMVp3eciLPGNIjaLKPRIuaLqKMG4_Ht-qhDnEwWEkSthMkvY-1jRW0w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-39558474356341867282009-05-06T17:59:00.000-07:002009-05-06T18:11:40.656-07:0035mm found slide experiment<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxwz-UWi463wgPg8XlJZBp1bsaMC1lsjRJeqpfYdKzf_FHEff0-c5-4OeYuME9g4iIEtTdDhcqSx3VECQEmgg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-86465294245844208922009-05-06T17:41:00.000-07:002009-05-06T17:58:11.203-07:00len lye experiment<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxCR_VTmu_2VHlPe76pTOAFyysMGcM5-NohSdfRUKwpLj1VgTtW8taP9ueJdrjxzeQi9WK-sNT7Q6bQSqbHmw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-58215774934679487672009-05-06T17:19:00.000-07:002009-05-06T17:26:30.524-07:00<object id="BLOG_video-FAILED" class="BLOG_video_class" contentid="FAILED" width="320" height="266"></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-28955173602741137572009-05-01T15:55:00.000-07:002009-05-07T15:56:51.826-07:00elephant locomotion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43IU7lqj0afwS26CwaokzVAqIRRyQBYT0dnWan1dasvopqj1PzG87FT6S5bpwa28sbyY36Hf1oim8N8V2xk67Jsk_UDgg14AbowWDlNaNvoa5tDA1WGrFGfa0HqjpC_3ZfKlPkHYxmtZS/s1600-h/circus.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh43IU7lqj0afwS26CwaokzVAqIRRyQBYT0dnWan1dasvopqj1PzG87FT6S5bpwa28sbyY36Hf1oim8N8V2xk67Jsk_UDgg14AbowWDlNaNvoa5tDA1WGrFGfa0HqjpC_3ZfKlPkHYxmtZS/s400/circus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333219745646010322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJSubQZa6fcjhxkvVxI6B6sGQziImYLZgRK3TLw3AX4h4XUhrCiKHu-UjcaqcTfdQYQsZVroMVoEYR8vC37miEASgnii-1wjv6QJ3Nw4QJ15a9JJm2uEaicGMK_qXNui73ZrQXqyC32v3/s1600-h/elephant+locomotion.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJSubQZa6fcjhxkvVxI6B6sGQziImYLZgRK3TLw3AX4h4XUhrCiKHu-UjcaqcTfdQYQsZVroMVoEYR8vC37miEASgnii-1wjv6QJ3Nw4QJ15a9JJm2uEaicGMK_qXNui73ZrQXqyC32v3/s400/elephant+locomotion.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333219738517839714" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-38461498145565321362009-04-30T16:25:00.000-07:002009-04-30T16:37:09.793-07:00Gordon Douglas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mackenzieartgallery.ca/siteimages/exhibitions/Boyer/douglas_gordon.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 432px; height: 287px;" src="http://www.mackenzieartgallery.ca/siteimages/exhibitions/Boyer/douglas_gordon.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The work of Douglas I think is interesting from a cinematic perspective. The physicality of the work opens new-ish way of presenting a motion picture in multiple screens. It has a strong representation to real life with the subject (a 4 year old Indian elephant) filmed inside the gallery space it was to be exhibited. it creates this sub-conscious question of how the elephant got into the space, is it computer generated.<br /><br />Stylistically its interesting with the play on time being real playback time yet it feels in slow motion, and the colours feel black and white....but are not.<br /><br />From an animal right perspective the work is quite shocking, but what I got from reading a couple of internet articles nobody was to concerned. In juxtaposition to the African Circus in Dunedin in April, there was huge debarcle regarding this exotic elephant and the council's rule to disallow exotic animals in the City. It brings the issues of cruelty and un-natural habitats for creatures in captivity.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-26828188539391115062009-04-30T16:01:00.000-07:002009-04-30T16:25:22.545-07:00Daniel Crooks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJJDK1VXuLB-pGD_yCl2tm6WDNektO3wWhX0R-e5aVyz30NfOgZwKEPA3j2HE3xURAEnDN1Ktc_2fYJXle-sqSfHrnAXXDkn_Ny0cxBM4fHbLUZIxp2lm1as6KGY4HyqOxdLwXt0nQQhT/s1600-h/crooks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRJJDK1VXuLB-pGD_yCl2tm6WDNektO3wWhX0R-e5aVyz30NfOgZwKEPA3j2HE3xURAEnDN1Ktc_2fYJXle-sqSfHrnAXXDkn_Ny0cxBM4fHbLUZIxp2lm1as6KGY4HyqOxdLwXt0nQQhT/s400/crooks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330627988149386850" border="0" /></a><br />http://nga.gov.au/fullscreen/06/crooks.pdf<br /><br />this link is to a short description and of the work and conceptual thinking.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163021772674446090.post-691060551884281202009-04-30T15:39:00.000-07:002009-04-30T16:40:21.244-07:00len lye<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.govettbrewster.com/NR/rdonlyres/2B9E7360-467C-4D7C-93E3-AE9E593C3EDC/0/free_radicals.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 421px;" src="http://www.govettbrewster.com/NR/rdonlyres/2B9E7360-467C-4D7C-93E3-AE9E593C3EDC/0/free_radicals.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"One of my art teachers put me onto trying to find my own art theory.
