[Frameworks] Motion graphics title using slit-scan....

[Kasper Lauritzen]

Dear Frameworkers,

I remember reading about slit scan photography being used to make title
sequences where the static title is turned into a rolling wave, by moving
the printed title up and down. I thought it was John Whitney who did it (I
could be wrong), but now I can't find it again, and I forgot the original
source.
So does anyone have a clue which film, TV series or advertisement that used
this technique specifically to make the "wavy title"?

Thank you very much
Kasper

Wow, very cool film, Albert, and very inventive use of the effect!
Thanks for sharing.

Re: [Frameworks] Derek Lamb's Housemoving

[Kasper Lauritzen]

Hi Brian,
I know that "Housemoving" was featured in an episode of Robert Gardner's
"Screening Room" with Derek Lamb. It's the one from June 1973 (Lamb was
also featured in September 1975).
This episode of the "Screening Room" series is released on DVD, so it might
be easier to come by that way. See also:
http://www.der.org/films/screening-room-derek-lamb.html

Hope it helps
Kasper

Re: [Frameworks] TV jargon

[Kasper Lauritzen]

I'm not in TV but motion graphics perhaps? At least I think Michael
Betancourt has used that term for similar phenomenons.

 Back in the 90s we used to call them 'Intros'' or  ''I.D.s''. (because
 they were supposed to create an identity or ''Personality'' for each time
 slot). Sigh

 2015-06-12 10:04 GMT-04:00 Gene Youngblood ato...@comcast.net:

 Frameworkers whose day job is TV, can you tell me what is the industry
 term for moving image introductions to program series. I’m thinking of
 TCM’s non-verbal mini-narratives that precede movies — one imitating Edward
 Hopper’s “Nighthawks,” another where golden Adonis’s push a giant world
 globe. They function like logos, but logos are still graphics.

[Frameworks] Contemporary films in James Whitney or Syncretism tradition?

[Kasper Lauritzen]

Dear Frameworks readers,

I'm a university student in Denmark who's currently researching on
experimental film for a project application, and I was hoping some of you
might have some recommendations for contemporary works.

Right now I'm trying to trace some classic genres or forms to
contemporary times to see how their technique and technology have expanded
and how the forms have developed.

So far I have been looking at the hand-painted film and how it has been
expanded by optical printing (for example in the late Stan Brakhage's
collaborations with Sam Bush) and other kinds of re-photographing (for
example Stephanie Maxwell's working process).

Another interest has been Jodie Mack whose work with animating textiles I
link to the hyper-animation principle behind Robert Breer's Eye Wash,
but which also draws on graphic design, theory of ornament and more.

Anyway, there are two more forms where I was hoping some of you could
recommend some contemporary films that work in and explore these traditions.

The first is the sort of atomized animation form that is known from James
Whitney's Yantra and Lapis (and to some extent Jordan Belson's
Allures). What I mean by that is works where the image is atomized into
some sort of particles that move through regular mathetical paths and
result in shape-shifting patterns. The important thing is that the
particles shift between order and disorder within seconds, while
maintaining a sense of mathematical system below them.
I know that Wiley Wiggins has made some Whitney-inspired animations (for
example one called Catalog - https://vimeo.com/13882251 ) but I was
wondering who else is out there.

The other form is the classical Brakhage style where the screen provides
a continuous synthesis of images where different 'realms' are juxtaposed
and transcended - for example the micro- and macro-scopic, the inside and
outside of an object, different material status (photographed,
hand-painted, computer-generated, or others, and these in combination), and
so on. This form is related to what Youngblood calls syncretism in
Expanded Cinema. The latest example I could find of this was Brakhage's
Yggdrasil (1997) but I was hoping to find some later works, perhaps even
by younger generations of filmmakers.

Just to specify, by comtemporary I mean works produced in this century,
and I'm hoping to find films that have their own artistic vision with the
form rather than just making tributes.

All help will be appreciated :)

Best regards,
Kasper
