East Point MBI Generation 3

August 2, 2008

The subject of this piece was shot late in the summer of 2003 off the east point of Middle Bass Island. At the time, I was obsessed with capturing, dare I say, the essence of being up there because each visit could be the last. I’d often find myself in “Tarkovskyesque modes” where I would just tape the water lapping against the stone shore for extended periods of time. This take is long, but not too long.

More important here is the technique. It was a bit late last night and I was a bit lit and took-out my DaydreamTV journal to write something when I saw a previous note describing what I’d call a “lite version” of what you see here. The idea of exploiting what we consider the “limitations” of NTSC video is intriguing to me.
