Cinelerra project
Edit: I’ve uploaded a version to YouTube.
I’ve been dawdling on posts. I’ve also been putting together a small movie project for 7045. I pulled some footage from the Prelinger Archives and a few photos from the Creative Commons search on Flickr.
Sexual Selection (2:57) (35 MB xvid avi)
The little project sort of conflates the modern practice of sampling and the feel of the ephemeral educational films it draws on (bad editing, loud string music, etc.). The most difficult problem was that I had a certain set of ideas I had to address and finding relevant footage was hugely time consuming. So I had to compromise on my original plan, which was to pull in bunches of clips, settling for a few and using images for filler (eg. the section on natural selection.)
