    reminds me of editing my first b+w 16mm film (Zombie UB40) – the faulty tension of the plates on the Steenbeck flatbed editor was so erratic that it ripped the sprockets of my cutting copy to shreds – little bits of celluloid falling to the floor (black floor, black walls, windowless room). i could only view the film in pieces until i got the final print – only then, too late, could i see that i should’ve cut huge chunks out of its 36 mins.

    oh, seeing changestill.swf above here now, it’s so like my film trim bin in the cutting room of chapter arts centre – strips of b+w 16mm hanging from tiny hooks – the diagonal splice… i used to run the film + animation workshop at chapter. it’s demise was very hard to take at the time. but who needs it now we’re all so deliriously digital – and much more independent than independent film making could ever be.

    the .gifs are lovely in this version, layered into complex patterns,
    the muted colours are particularly lovely as the textual symbols
    repeat and repeat with the random commentary

    bravo

    so often change = loss

    and it looks like my 16mm print of Zombie UB40 is lost… forever?
    i don’t know… maybe it’ll turn up somewhere…

    after stumping up our hard-earned cash, my partner and i finally got some of our old film and video productions transferred to digital media. it turns out it wasn’t my print in the can labelled Zombie UB40 but a print of Contortions, a film by our old friend Mike Stubbs.

    a costly mistake made many many moons ago
    lost more than loose change

    c’est la vie
