Constant Cinema

Last night, assisted by the talents of James P. Stephens and Monica Ozarek, I shot the third film of the 52 Weeks Project. I wasn't sure what to call the thing but after some consideration I've decide upon "Voltafaccia," an about-face, for the reversal of fortune it presents. This is by far the shortest film I've shot yet, clocking in somewhere in the neighborhood of a minute forty-five; roughly 35 feet. Last night, assisted by the talents of James P.

This is by far the shortest film I've shot yet, clocking in somewhere in the neighborhood of a minute forty-five; roughly 35 feet. It consists of some nice, long shots and, as there was almost no light in some and barely enough in others, I'll be pushing the 7219 stock two stops to 2000 ASA. This will give the film a grainier look and gives me an opportunity to really evaluate the fidelity of this film under extreme conditions. 

The good news for the project now is that I've now got enough footage to send off for processing and transfer. I'm going to try to afford an HD transfer so I can really do the images justice. So, in a few short weeks I should be posting the first of these shorts for public consumption. I'm really looking forward to not only seeing them, but also sharing them. I'm starting to get very passionate about minimalist film making and photography and I'm very eager to share the results of my adventures  - and misadventures - with the world.
