Over 800 modern dryplate tintypes were made from b&w film to produce this experimental stop-motion video of a circus.

Antonio Martinez created this video to serve as a desired childhood memory of the circus, but through the mind of an adult.

The project began in 2005 and was fully completed in early 2010 with the help of sound designer, Ramah (Malebranche) Jihan, and assistant, Sarah (Lathrop) Midkiff. The video has been successfully exhibited in over 23 video art and film festivals.

    Oh, Antonio, you should make this file non-downloadable. You deserve to get paid for your work.

    I feel somewhat disturbed. I don't really know why. Great visual impact - somewhere between marvel and nightmare. The sound is perfect for the images.

    Very impressive. Not only the process, but the images themselves, coupled with the score, create a beautiful, surreal texture that surpass simply visual qualities. Also technically astounding - well done!
