MOTION PICTURE - Un-Used & Un-Finalized - Straight Footage



This started as an attempt at a film reel but turned into a collection of footage that I haven't been able to use yet, and I don't see myself being able to seriously edit it together for some time.

MOTION PICTURE - Obstructions

A short stop motion piece. 
Relative info beneath. 



This was for a project in which I was assigned 5 "obstructions" that I was to abide by during production...
Obstruction #1 Must use a shitty camera.
Obstruction #2 No looking directly through the viewfinder during composition.
Obstruction #3 No post-processing of images.
Obstruction #4 Must heavily edit all sound.
Obstruction #5 Must be a 'remake' of something... This is a remake of my experience of reading philosophical texts.

See it in HD here.

The idea of following obstructions comes from the 2003 film: The Five Obstructions by Lars Von Trier and Jørgen Leth.

PHOTOG - Flake

untitled (Minneapolis) (f)

As I walked inside to get my camera from sitting in my car, I realized that this would be the first picture I was going to be taking outside in more than a month. The sad reality of how persistently cold it is here is an integral part of why I dislike this area as much as I do.

For those who care... The photo is of a real snowflake, on my car window, back-lit by a streetlight, using a Lensbaby with +10 and +4 Macro Lens attachments stacked.
