Re: [Frameworks] New filmmaker
Yes, of course; I should have written editing. My only point is that long takes involve editing-like decisions.

If you take an orientation and a class there (for under $100) you get to use their equipment. I imagine a lot of other cities have a similar set-up. That way you can try out a few different types of cameras, although it's possible that they will be out of date. I personally don't care about that. For me, just holding a camera and seeing a frame really changed how I thought about shooting. Good luck!

[Frameworks] Passing of Robert Darroll
Dear Frameworks, It is with sadness that I announce the passing of abstract animator and visual music artist, Robert Darroll. At the iotaCenter we have been big supporters of his work and are saddened my his passing. I got to know him a little bit from working on a DVD of his Korean Trilogy films. Both the iotaCenter and Mark Toscano at the Academy Film Archive are interested in finding a couple of his earlier films Cenit, Spiegelung, and Zeit to make sure they have a good home if they don't already. Please contact me if you have any leads. The first words that come to mind about Robert Darroll’s films are density and complexity -- of imagery, technique and style. He assimilates, transforms and transcends almost every technique in the history of animation. This is the apotheosis of motion graphics – simultaneously photographic, videographic and computer graphic. Darroll creates a hypnotic and visionary universe through virtuosic use of rotoscoping, compositing, layering, filtering and complex segmentations of the frame. Darroll understands that digital technology’s most important contribution to moving image art is the seamless merging of photographic and synthetic imagery, live action with animation. Organic figures are set against elegant geometric constructions, shot through with startling vectors and trajectories. Visual density is matched by sonic density. Darroll’s sound design evolves from the Theremin-like electronic score of Memb to dazzling multilayered blends of natural and synthetic sounds in later works. The earlier works show the influence of Oskar Fischinger, Viking Eggeling, Len Lye, Paul Glabicki, even a touch of Jordan Belson. But gradually he transcends them to give us the unique vision of a true master of his art. The films are ravishingly beautiful journeys through the corridors of an inspired imagination. -Gene Youngblood The DVD will be out soon and we're organizing screenings of his films, but I'll announce that at a more appropriate time.
