Manual Focus

this is amazing. found via this post on paperthinwalls which featured my friends’ band, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and their picks for “favorite youTube videos”. we can all thank Dan Doyle for this gem.

One of Jesse’s picks is one of my favorite clips ever of Harmony Korine on Letterman in ‘98, Dan scored again with a Jonathan Richman pick, Mark with some creepy informational video about “sanitary pads” and Jesse’s ultimate Ultimate Warrior pick is dope. Also, Cory refers to Willie Nelson as “Will Nelz” and oh yeah Dan found a cool Captain Beefheart vid too.

my sister and i watched this movie a thousand times when we were little. This and the Ringing Bell…

i wonder if that’s on youTube?

This excerpt is from a piece entitled Not Yet remembered, after the Harold Budd/Brian Eno ambient composition of the same name. The song, in relation to its title, made me think of the process our minds go through when we are trying to think of something but it hasn’t come to us yet. That face or that name or that moment is still being reconstructed in the mind and it is not quite remembered yet.

I made this in May of this year but as a result of thoughtlessness I found myself with neither a hard copy of it nor the editing program file. So i have gone back to the original DV tape to try to reconstruct the video; partially from memory but also with a fresh perspective. It’s quite an apt metaphor don’t you think?

Love that disco beat!

Getting ready for my thesis proposal. This is the intro.
