Items Found in Drawers

Hey kids, guess what?

CINEPLOSION's very own sound man, Bobby Missile, has just unveiled a set of solo optical audio arrangements for the viewing public.

Normally we would balk at non-VHS based work around here at the CINE Lab, but jeepers creepers, how 'bout a good ol dose of object-induced hysteria to water down the brainbox:



Something about part two has a real film-like quality, even though its off an iPhone. Maybe its just the oldtime shade of the chair?? Or does the cat add some sort of organic quality??



The classic 1952 flick, "Neighbors" from Norman McLaren comes to mind. Known for Pixelation, or the moving and stopping of objects/camera to create movement, and also for very intricate sound techniques that may include piercing dots onto the optical track of the film strip. Most older film actually uses a light-based optical system, so its literally possible to "draw" sounds onto the film strip! Neato!!




Jiminy Crickets, Len Lye also comes to mind too if we're talking classic animation. "Free Radicals" is perhaps his most famous, although I'm in more of a Tiki lounge frame of mind so lets take a peek at "Colour Flight" from 1938 :: yep 1938 ::
