Tree branches and Flowers - Super 8mm film shot and hand processed for the performance

At the end of April, Chrystene and Berny went to Wascana Park and shot a couple rolls of Super 8mm black and white film to be used as projection art in KaleidoCycle. Over the weekend the film was hand processed as a negative image in buckets in the basement lab of Daniel Suchoboki [who donated his facilities].

Below you will find a sample of this film. These images will be projected on the gurus live during the play.

Possible images from Super 8mm film to be used in performance

Below you will find video of Super 8mm footage that could be of use to the performance. It's just what I have on hand. We can of course shoot more, new stuff.

Are any of the images evoking the emotions or stories we want to showcase?

Part I has a graduation, a train ride, a beach, traffic in Edinburgh, and a boat ride through Loch Ness.

Part II features a plane ride, a graveyard, and a sunset. It is mostly hand processed celluloid that kinda screwed up somewhere in the developer. It's difficult to make out what is going on, but could be used for more abstract purposes. I have lots of stuff like this.
Enjoy!

Sliding projection, headlamp, and overhead tests

Strings attaching a character to a screen could be kinda neat [see the beginning of the video]. The sliding screen technique could be used to quickly approach or withdraw from the audience / characters with a growing or shrinking image. The flickering dissolve is achieved by wiggling fingers in front of the overhead projector.

The headlamp didn't really have enough power to make a very large image. This system is rather limited in function since the film can't progress easily. It is very portable though and can create a few interesting effects. Different lenses or mirrors used in front of the headlamp could yield fascinating results.

The use of a film loop [basically a magnifying glass] with the overhead made for a dreamy / memory style.

Projection surface tests

Here is a video I made using different media upon which to project shadow and light.

and a video I didn't make showing the possibility of short "animations" using bicycle wheels.
