anthropogenic prospects

here is something i just finished working on
(its my first hd video)

a short cut out animation, made from film stills and a soundtrack composed from tape manipulated sections of the original film score of a bicentennial film:

from Carol O' Sullivan's press release:
...a promotional film, simply called Pittsburgh, which was commissioned in 1958 for the city's bicentennial. It's believed there were several versions of Pittsburgh, in an attempt to please a large committee with conflicting views.

But the final version (28 minutes) pleased no one, and the project was shelved. For 20 years the camera negatives, the out-takes and the print rolls were in storage. In 1978 the 35mm print rolls and all of the camera negatives were given to Pittsburgh Filmmakers, by Ted Hazlett and the project's primary funder, the A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Foundation.

The original footage, which was recently inspected, cleaned and copied to high-definition video.

My film, anthropogenic prospects, is part of a larger project called: Pittsburgh Reframed (at 250)
