As you can tell, I have been playing with the look of my blog. Please don't hesitate to leave comments if you find that it doesn't perform well for you. My second film, made as Gossamer Conglomerate's twin, is "The Light Touch Dust Nebula." Click on the image below to watch (note- this film is silent):
This film was made by applying thermotropic (changing with heat) paints to decayed film leader and filming the result before the heat of the projector lamp. The color of the paints changes from red to blue with heat. These are the same paints found in mood rings. For more information about this film, please click on the link in the title of this post.
2001- 16mm film, silent, color, 4.5 min
The Light Touch Dust Nebula is a hand-painted film, optically printed with carefully controlled temperature and lighting. Thermotropic (temperature sensitive) liquid crystal paint applied to decayed film changes from red to blue with heat. In-camera optical effects expose the contrast between the two extremes. This film exposes the warmth of light and its birth to form and motion in cinema.
