I'm trying to portray a sense of desolation, loss and alienation. For me, the landscape both of the subject and that of the clip itself take on these qualities, and they surpass the melancholy and melodrama of my videos.

Nah, just kidding.

I liked the way the dark silhouette and ominous clouds contrasted with the frivolity of the amusement park.

nah man. there are giant monkey bar/swing things in santa monica.

these things? vimeo.com/clip:94433

yep

The flarey effect was accidental. Most of the newer digital still cameras also shoot low res video. The red lines are a side effect of shooting video on a sensor that is designed for stills. I don't know all the technical details but effect is kinda cool. Looks like old film that got exposed before it was developed.

yeah I was wonderingif you had a light leak...as you avatar is an old super 8

yeah, might have to change the icon. Some one else asked if another clip as done with a Super 8. I just pulled the image from and old Sears catalog.

Yeah, thal light leak stuff is nice.
