Ribbon Test
I started playing with some ideas regarding making a film/video counterpart to the drawings I've been making using the obfuscating white banners. This is a still from my first go at it.
What we did was stir up water inside of a backlit fishbowl until a vortex was created in the center, then dropped small black ribbons in and took slow motion video of them. Then today I took that footage, inverted it, layered up different takes, and composited it on top of some super 8 footage I shot in Winnipeg on the set of Guy Maddin's "Hauntings" project.
Still real rough, but I think it's got promise. We'll see.
