Circle of Confusion
Circle of Confusion, 6:11, 1993
Another rarely screened film in the impromptu early 'nineties festival which also features m-dot.report and over at Brut Smog some of Professor Ham's wonderful Standard 8 work here and here. Urban reflections shot in grainy high contrast black and white Super 8 accompanied by a looping sample soundtrack. I found a few other old super 8 films from around the same time (of dubious quality - artistic and technical). If any one's really interested, that's what the comments are for.

Re Vision Ism.
As a result of a lack of patience on my part I just accidentally ran, side by side, Circle of Confusion in my RSS NewsFire browser window and Phillip's Woodwork in my Firefox browser window which resulted in my own little live Storm Bugs visual experience.
My sympathies.
For some intentional online interactive expanded cinema have a look at Video Defunct http://videodefunct.net/
Error in my previous post - Woodwork is not by who I thought (confusion comes from knowing a Phillip Ham) so I shouldn't have credited to Storm Bugs. Note to self: don't post comments when half cut!
so who do you think Professor Ham is?
blimey confusion all round. My old imac DV 600 MHZ down here in Hastings is having trouble with flash 9 so there's a bit of a stutter effect going on at my end........
In my half cut state I thought Professor Ham was the Storm to your Bug, so I mistook my PH for your PS!
Hurrah! As Prof H s-s-s-said, confusion all round.
No I am the Ham to his Cheese ( sounds unpleasant actually)....
I think I'm missing something here, I going to stop now!
just an educated guess:
might the "ham and cheese" be a recent academic coinage for the cool storm bugged expedition to copenhagen?
re. circle of confusion:
great to see the horizontal video clutter on the piece. very nam-jun-paiky... great soundtrack btw.
thanks Sam, the video clutter is mostly the result of a cheap super 8 telecine which does lend much more of a video look to the thing, it also inevitably adds contrast to an original already contrasty film, so there's a lot of the original subtlety lost and another layer of subtlety added - so not intentionally Paik-esque!
