Cough Cough In

I awoke in the middle of night. The dog was coughing; that phlegmatic cancer cough of hers and it made me open my eyes and I coughed too in the blur of a heavy breeze moving the trees blue the light through the window in such a wind shadow way that I saw it as a ghostly figure floating over the bed and I became terrified that it was death coming after us – that the we, or she were coughing towards the coffin. It took a while to fix my eyes.

Fever


The Royal Wylds played a garden gig in Red Hook over the weekend. I couldn’t resist the strung lights distortions and made a little photomotion video. What else can I do with low light and no working video camera? Still it sort of captures something about the rawness of the group that I like.

Feisty

Went to the Feist show last night at Prospect Park. Lot’s of Estrogen. Lot’s of rain. Some interesting simple visual projections got me thinking about the abstract shape of the stage and the crowd and the sliver of vision I could capture with my little still camera. For what it’s worth.

Make Up Your Mind

Willoughby sits on the bed and notices the askew sheets. He tries to make the bed while still sitting in it. This doesn’t work, so he lays back down.

Sublerno

Tales of the cock at the empty store. This was from the dawn of the holiday… went out with ladies to one of these places that has “Mixologists” instead of bartenders… Lot’s of odd cocktails that conspired to give me the worst hangover I’ve had in years. I didn’t even think I was drunk, but it sure killed the next day. I was taking note of things I over heard. Everyone on the street sounded straight out of Willoughby.

Will He Be?

This is to test some ideas about motion in a project I’ve had on the back burner for a while. I-movie let’s you do some corny motion graphics for inserts, so I thought I’d toy with them a bit… I don’t know how to do real motion graphics, but I wanted to see what that and layers and scrolling and such might turn into on the screen. The story is a bit more involved and involves three characters: Willoughby, Clark, and the narrator. Feed back, collaboration, etc. welcome.
