I am piled deep in found footage, maybe like 50 hours worth and am readily relief sculpting away at the finished product. I am also rendering out multiple compositions for the title cards I’m using in the specially curated found footage series I’m screening. Here is a debut of a few screen shots for the good people of softspot blog.
Evidently I am doing my best at concealing the money shots until the show. Enjoy.
assorted stills from a grab bag of reels I am stripping.
Updating regularly.

Ideally, I will be nestling a combination of type with overlays of hermeneutic, and nonrepresentational textures, creating a visually massaging medium; juxtaposing controversial, powerful, and down right positive cinematic images sandwiched with well thought out words transmitting a strong signal.
I will keep dropping in to update my progress, so keep an eye out on the feedback tip.

“Erasing Dreamland” was created using found footage from Youtube in order to forge a digital homage to the analog techniques of the artist and film maker Bruce Conner, specifically his film “Take The 5-10 To Dreamland.”
The creation of this film lead to the erasure of Bruce Conner’s film from the YouTube network, “due to its content being used with out the artists permission.”
The film currently exists in copyright protection limbo, as the footage sampled was legally obtained from YouTube. As outlined within the terms of use agreement associated with uploading a video to YouTube, the content of Bruce Conner’s film existed outside the realm of copy protection while it was still present on their network, regardless of Conner not being the original poster of the film.
Furthermore, the copyright management status of the video enters an even stranger space upon the realization that both films were created using found footage. Conner was notorious as an artist for using found footage in his films that he would obtain at thrift shops and second hand stores (Bruce Conner Oral History). The digital recreation of “Take The 5-10 To Dreamland” was created by searching through the meta data associated with videos on YouTube and sorting through the resulting clips for bits and pieces that would sync in time with Bruce Conners’s film.
