zurich blick

yet another short film made on the mountain overlooking zurich - at hotel uto kulm.
this time i only processed the voices that bled onto the video as a sound track- didn't add any music. one mustn't be too redundant.

BERG BLICK

[C]2009 DOUG DUFFEY

a film i made today-from 2 short clips- from the balcony of my hotel room [uto kulm- top of zurich] - overlooking zurich, the lake, and mountains in the distance. i found an organ part i had played a while back and processed it, as well as the actual sound that was on the original video [mostly indistinct people speaking in the distance] again, an attempt to make it look old & like a silent film.

DIE AARE

a short film i shot in Buren, Switzerland yesterday- made up of short snippets i did with my casio digital camera. i improvised some piano music for it on my piano -which needs tuning- made in 1880 [which is in the garage here in Switzerland] using my MP3 player which has a built in mic/recorder- then put it together in WMM & edited to look like an old silent movie- then took it into Sony Vegas- [which will not work with my camera files!] and edited the music [in sound forge] and added the last credit. however it took forever for it to 'render' and i was up till 7AM trying to burn it to the new external USB dvd burner i brought with me. time for a new laptop!

i love silent short films- especially Regen- by the dutch film maker Joris Ivens [1929] and man W/A Movie Camera by Dziga Vertov [1929]- and soooooo many more.
