Double Cherry Blossoms




'Double Cherry Blossoms' 1.1MB 10 secs

This is the oldest movie here. I made it in December 2000
& I just found it again.
Thanks to a 13 year old Anna for the singing.
The text was from a book of Haiku I took out
of the library then, hence the lack of attribution now.
If anyone knows, please mail me.

Mimi, Jack & Anna




'Mimi, Jack & Anna' 109MB 2:09 min

About half way through this, I realised I was
unconsciously structuring it with the work
of Jacques Rivette in mind. So it's a kind of
tiny tribute to a master.
The music is my arrangement for Tuba Quartet of the Pixies'
Is She Weird? played by Tubalaté on their Hall of Mirrors CD.
Thanks to them & thanks to Anna, Jack & Mimi.

In the Spring of 2003 I started making tiny QuickTime movies, as a kind of moving image dream diary.
This quickly became a major focus of my work & I have made at least two or three every month since.
In 2006 I arranged them in their current, semi-chronological, format (everything from April 2003 - Dec 2005 appears in the first four months of 2006).

All the movies, new & old, still live in the same folder & can be accessed from there too.
You may freely download & remix any of them, though I would appreciate a credit.
Where credits are due to others for material I have appropriated or remixed, or for performances, I will include a note with the posts here.
All music, except where otherwise stated, is by me.

I hope you like the movies, though of course I will continue to make & post them whether you do or not (but my thanks for looking!).
If you're interested enough you can read more about them here, here, here & here.
