TV

TV: transformational vibrations. Images transform into sound vibrations. Inspirational mark making as a visual representation of sound. Experimental abstract animation created by applying both sound and picture directly onto film. Once the soundtrack was created each individual sound was assigned a specific shape and colour that repeats through out the entire composition. Visual shapes were airbrushed and hand painted onto orange mask (negative film), then printed positive for further rendering by bleaching or scratching into the films emulsion before the final print copy was made. Sounds are made by hand from drawing Spirograph moire patterns onto clear mylar sheets, cut out and stuck on 35mm film optical sound area, played through a moviola and recorded into a computer for composition. Many sounds are just one to twelve frames long. The tempo gradually increases until the entire optical sound area of the film is full of individual sounds.
