IMPORT ALL (e)

Yea, that was a trip.

My iPhoto file is about 12,000 strong, and this image stream was captured around 2,000 or so into the download as the idea dawned and I got my camera in place. I filmed it from a cheap video projector's light on a wall messed up with screws and holes, light pollution toned down halfway through, then reprocessed into the computer where the resulting file got bleached into an mp4 file, uploaded to YouTube and back to the computer into a smaller frame size (the smaller size and image speed compensated for the image degradation a bit). The image stream wasn't chronological in its entirety but it was so in chunks. Temporal modules. Mixed up and shuffled then flipped like a deck of cards or a sort of flip book of motion pictures.

What. A. Trip.

This is a kind of visual back story to the image stream of this blog; an off-hand, off-calendar anniversary present for five years of blogging.

The choreography was run by the import part of the program. Imagine having to click and drag all 10,000 fotos onto iMovie! That's a huge part of the charm for me, the random factor, a little bit of Anton Chigurh for you there. The sequence alignment with the music is as random as the proverbial umbrella on the operating table. I even like the goofs like the pause in (b or c) where I had to click the duplicate pop up to proceed.

Pues...
