SUPERCEPTION MOVIE

Spontaneous Cinema Class_ California College of the Arts

The intention of this movie is to expose and impart intelligibility to phenomena that otherwise slip through the gaps and riddles of humans' ordinary sensory perception. Consider how cinematic techniques that involve special lighting, unequal sampling and playback rates, optical magnification or distortion, time ordering and scene juxtaposition manipulations, multiperspective framing, investigative sound capture, etc. might be deployed to reveal unseen features in our midst or to apprehend invisible patterns of behavior.

ACCOUSTIC MOVIE

Spontaneous Cinema Class_ California College of the Arts

 

An exercise in collecting the sounds of a place. The objective is to discern and amplify dimensions of ambient sound — those fundamental noises of a place which ordinary sense is so well practiced at tuning out — like the dripping faucet in my kitchen sink, the hum of the refrigerator next door, a lawn sprinkler going all night, the poplar branches creaking in a breeze, the drone of traffic two blocks away. . .
