NAZ Today – Director’s Cut 12-2-09
Preface: A director’s cut for NAZ Today is a recording of an entire show with the director’s headset chatter audible. Recorded December 2, 2009. Left: Headset audio.Right: Program audio. Pre-roll included: Bars and tone, black. TRT: 31:35
Notes for this show: The second half of this show (C-E blocks) were directed by Haley Quiner, currently in training for next semester. We had a major issue with pre-production when someone not affiliated with our program gained access to our editing system and moved some files around with less than a half hour before show, effectively cutting 5-6 videos including the opening billboards. Everything still came out well considering.
First Attempts with Holga 120N, Horseman Accordion & Rusty Rollbox
Preface: About a month ago, I borrowed a Holga 120N from my roommate on a whim. The assignment for my photo class was to emulate a famous photographer, and the guy I chose had a great set of Holga pictures on his website. I rushed to the local photo store and bought two rolls of black and white 120 film. I asked the clerk, "So, is this film in a canister like 35mm?" The old man behind me chuckled at my inexperience. They patiently explained how 120 worked, and I was instantly fascinated.
Last weekend after Thanksgiving, I decided to pick at the antique cameras my family had acquired over the years and had been sitting on a bookshelf collecting dust. For the longest time, I just assumed that the film for those cameras didn't exist. But when I inspected them, lo and behold, most of them took 120. The ones that didn't could be easily modified to fit 120 or 35mm. So I went on a shoot near the airport in Las Vegas. Admittedly, these frames are far from perfect, and I seriously screwed up the Horseman pictures.
