Gary L. Coleman remixed and rescored my footage from my “Hollywood In The Dark” video, inserting some rather dark and psychedelic visuals into it as well. The final video is on YouTube. Click on the image above to go to YouTube to view it in a new window.

Joshua Tree Keys View Sunset
June 24th, 2009 by adminThe following collages were shot the final day of the High Desert Test Sites events. It was so cold and windy that the batteries in my camera kept freezing and I had to keep changing them, which isn’t what you expect from that part of the desert.

I expect to composite these videos with still images to show more coverage of the intersection, but I didn’t really get the coverage I wanted in either medium..

Others with similar ideas
November 12th, 2008 by adminWell, it’s nice to think you’ve made a discovery and have run off into new territory by yourself, but I’ve discovered there are quite a few others tredding this same area. Hockney actually tried this technique with the BBC, but they weren’t too excited by it, and he abandoned it.
It’s sort of like when I was hiking up in the remote mountains and thought I was someplace where no one had been before, and then I found some plastic trash in the bushes.
I suppose that’s no reason to abandon the experiments; perhaps it could be more interesting to pursue them within a community of like-minded artists?
A couple of these artists are doing really nice work. I especially like Matt Ziniel and Lester Alfonso’s stuff.

Spring Equinox at the Malibu Wright Ranch
August 21st, 2008 by adminOK, this has taken forever to get to because these are the most complex assortment of clips I’ve shot. Furthermore, after I shot them, I was told people didn’t want them posted because it was a personal and private ceremony. Well, with some regrets, I can’t help myself. I also haven’t figured out the best presentation for the “sensitive” material, so it’s just a composite grid of the ceremony, and you can’t really hear any thing except the chant we all did. It’s enormous too; an unwieldy 58MB. Keep in mind that at actual size, the widest ones here are nearly 3-1/2 feet wide. That’s as big as Flash can handle; 2880 pixels square.
Fortunately, some of the others are quite breathtaking and not nearly as huge.

Wright Ranch HouseI find this one to be rather interesting; it has more cubist character than most of the other works. It’s a house they’re building that’s been under construction forever.

Mt. Pinos 3 Row Torqued Panorama
August 19th, 2008 by adminWell, this proves that without much activity happening when you shoot video, you might as well be shooting stills. As I assembled the video clips, I began to realize that the lens and tripod were distorting the images so they didn’t fit together. I could actually skew the video itself, which would probably take forever to process, but it was just as interesting to layer and overlap them.

Mt. Pinos is an amazing place. The highest mountain in the range at the southern edge of California’s Central Valley, just outside of Frazier Park, you can’t help be be deeply moved by the views, the peacefulness of the place (in good weather, at least) — or the high altitude!
Japanese Garden’s Running Brook
August 17th, 2008 by adminSome new video collages here. These were shot at the beautiful Japanese Garden next to the (ugh!) DWP water reclamation plant in Balboa Park in Van Nuys.
The first is more of an experimental mandala-esque view of the brook.

I guess I need to either;
1) get a cable release for the camera, if I can control the video button with it
or
2) spend the time to trim the small shakes that happen when I start and stop the camera
They seem to quake and vibrate, like the earth in California, or perhaps to breathe…
The park is near two airports too, so you hear the planes drown out the running water in the first one.
