KITTYPIE by Jennifer MacMillan and Sound by Alex Zhort (2007) 4 min.
Meow . . . I'd be honored if you viewed my new painted super 8 to video, KITTYPIE!
Thanks to Alex Zhort, Courtney Hoskins, Tim Reardon, & Nisi Jacobs!
| A super 8 film to video, including footage that has been painted, bleached, and then composited in Final Cut Pro, this is a cinema-poem of and for my cat, Camille. Is this the animal merging with the divine? Sound by Alex Zhort . . . turn up the volume! | |
Lovely!

Terrific work, J. I love how those painted and bleached images share space in the imagination with the floating soundtrack. I have to admit that my favorite shot is the one of kitty in silhouette. Feline magic.
