Three very short 9.5mm films I dug out of my mother's loft. Around 45 - 50 years old. Copied using an equally old projector to back-project the film and recorded it using EOS7D
This has been an ongoing project of mine for a couple of months now. ill put it on the back burner and then keep working on it. ive finally gotten it to a point that im proud of. the amount of computer processing involved in somthing like this is absolutly unbelevable. in fact, while trying to export the finished product it overloaded my video card and i had to export on my step dads tower. each individual video consists of anywhere from 300 to 2700 images. i really havent calculated the total amount of images involved in making a video like this but id guess around 20 or 30 thousand. i actually burned out the censor of a nikon D2h while making it haha. it was ok though because i bought it used.
So as i previously mentioned the cameras i used were a Nikon D2h and a Nikon D5000. all of the timelapses were shot in connecticut and pennsylvania. im planning on doing another video with more thought out spots and more diverse locations so this was more of an experiment then anything. whats really interesting is looking at the diversity in climate. the very last timelaps was shot in about 20 degree, snowy weather, where as some of the other ones were shot in 80 degree weather. how miserable i was is definitely not picture in it haha. im from florida so i hate cold weather.
Flickr wouldnt allow me to upload the whole video so you should watch it HD on vimeo!

*Juxtaposing tv news footage*
Micheal Moore loves to create strong juxtapositions in his films, for maximum effect. A typical juxtaposition he creates in Fahrenheit 911 is the shot of an Iraqi woman crying about the people she lost in her bombed house and Britney Spears entertaining young people as her contribution to an effort to find new recruits for the war.
Some reviewers consider this not fair to Spears, but Moore thinks that if she gets involved in recruiting he is free to use her image of youth and happiness to emphasise the sorrow of the Iraqi woman [find REF interview, make precise]. Other reviews claim Moore is doing nothing else than documentary filmmakers have been doing for ever: bring his perspective into the films he makes [REF The New Yorker].
Filmmakers like Moore follow Shub and Eisenstein in their openness about the constructive aspects of the films they make, and the collisions they setup to let the audience create meaning. This is not necessarily propaganda; it is how films work, also documentary films. The biggest accomplishment of Fahrenheit 911 is perhaps that is has reminded many audiences, not in the last place in the United States, that documentaries are different from journalism and that they are supposed to have an opinion.
At many instances in the film, footage that originally was meant to be neutral or favourable to George Bush turns against him through the rhetoric that Moore builds with his narration and juxtapositioning of images. Waugh (in Nichols (ed.) Movies and methods II, University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles) calls this recontextualisation “democratic didacticism” because it allows the viewer to read the film on at least two levels: the intended meaning of the footage and the perspective added by reconstituting the material. A dialectic between these two levels emerges and forces viewers to develop their own opinions. Compiling research material like this is useful for design research too, if it is supposed to fuel discussion rather than present user requirements.
