Hi,

couple of movies here i) Avebury, ii) Ridgeway, shot in 8mm ciné film, then digitally transferred - the first commercially, the second DIY. i use celluloid film as a starting point, because i like the soft quality it gives to landscapes

these are experimental films - and the narrative content is more in the way of 'stream of consciousness' than logical progression: film to me is a dream medium

i use Pinnacle Studio 9 av/dv for transfers - and digital editing, since these films have been edited down for web upload, and the originals are slightly longer than what you see here. i like Pinnacle, but it will crash if you look at it sideways [lol]; i have edited on iMovie too, but still prefer the Windows platform, to date

both films have soundtracks recorded by pro musicians (credits with films), although obviously i needed to edit these as well, when i reduced the films for the web: i really enjoy soundtrack work (ciné is basically a silent medium, in the 21st century). i use a mixture of Sony Sound Forge and MixCraft softwares for working on audio files, which i then upload to Pinnacle, in mp3 format; on other film projects, i am starting to experiment with my own soundtracks

enough of that

here we go ~
