I’m a big fan of the optical printing sequences in a lot of Peter Rose’s 16mm work. “The Man Who Could Not See Far Enough,” while only using an optical printer in stretches, is a masterpiece, but I’d track down his old VHS collections & dig deep. So much good stuff…
Peter’s films also teach very well. I’ve used “Analogies” in the past fairly frequently. … R.

I agree that Pat O'Neill is probably the greatest example of Optical Printing artistry, and include much of his work is available for purchase in DVD form. However, I would also stress that it was amazing to take the prints of his work and view them on rewinds with a light table so that students could really study how he created his "looks". I love Water and Power too, and usually saved it until the last class in the semester. -Jason Halprin DAILY SCHEDULE Class 01 – January 25th Screening: Pas de deux (Norman McLaren, 13 min, 1968) Class 02- February 1st Screening: Passage à l'acte (Martin Arnold, 15 min., 1993) Class 03- February 8th Screening: Piece Touche (Martin Arnold, 15 min., 1989) Zocalo (Richard Myers, 15 min, 1972) Spitting Image (Paula Froehle, 3 min., 1992) Class 04- February 15th Screeing: 7362 (Pat O’Neill, 10 min, 1967) Roseblood (Sharon Couzin, 7 min., 1974) Class 05- February 22nd Screening: Watersmith (Will Hindle, 25 min, 1969) Film Wipe Film (Paul Glabicki, 32 min, 1984) Class 06 Screening: Wild Gunman (Craig Baldwin, 20 min, 1978) Television Assassination (Bruce Conner, 14 min, 1964/95) Cosmic Ray (Bruce Conner, 4 min, 1961) Class 07- March 8th Screening: Alone, Life Wastes Andy Hardy (Martin Arnold, 15 min, 1998) Flicker: Unsteady Motion (Paula Frohele, 7 min, 1995) Class 08- March 15th Screening: Frame (Ken Kobland, 10 min, 1976) Vestibule (Ken Kobland, 24 min, 1979) Class 09- March 29th Screening: Chinese Fire Drill (Will Hindle, 25 min, 1968) Runs Good (Pat O’Neill, 15 min, 1970) Class 10- April 5th Screening: Elasticity (Chick Strand, 25 min, 1976) Babobilicons (Dana Krummins, 18 min, 1982) Class 11- April 12th Screening: Nocturne (Phil Solomon, 10 min, 1980) Remains to be Seen (Phil Solomon, 17 min, 1989) Class 12- April 19th Screening: The Idea (Bill Knowland, 20 min, 1990) Class 13- April 26th Screening: Milk and Honey (Kate McCabe, 17 min, 2004) Montessori Sword Fight (Mary Beth Reed, 7 min, 2002) Class 14- May 3rd Screening: Water and Power (Pat O’Neill, 54 min, 1989) Jason Halprin [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 12:10 PM, Gene Youngblood <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I join Marcos and Adam in stressing the importance of Pat O’Neill here.

What is the best work for understanding the cinematic potential in optical printing? Are there any texts that could be included? I'm asking for my own enlightenment and to take my own OP work to another level, but I might also try to put together a public screening at some point. Many thanks, as always, for your thoughts and advice.
