Short Shot on Flatbed Scanner Screens at Disposable Film




Devoted to the art of making movies without using movie cameras, the Disposable Film Festival found the perfect poster child in Memoirs of a Scanner. The short film came about when three University of Southern California-groomed filmmakers used an HP photo scanner to shoot 300 live-action scans that were then strung together with an audio track to tell a tale packed with alienation, sex and violence.

Damon Stea of Mindfruit Studios made Memoirs of a Scanner with Cassandra Chowdhury and Zack DeZon.

“The shoot probably took around six hours of pure, unadulterated face-to-the-scanner animating, followed by pickup shots of all the papers and transitions,” Stea said. “Editing was pretty quick as well — it was a remarkably simple process to actually complete.”

Stea, a double-major in cinema production and videogame design at USC, ran into one technical difficulty. “It was hard to do lighting for a machine that was never meant to see a human face,” he said. “I tried to create a background that pleased me and fit with the aesthetic, but in the end, the scanner had a plan for the light and we worked with the hardware rather than fighting it.”

To make How to Google Maps, Ira Mowen took a portable helium tank, party balloons and a disposable video camera to Paris to capture aerial shots.

Memoirs of a Scanner is one of more than 50 films on tap at the four-day Disposable Film Festival, which opens Thursday in San Francisco. Now in its third year, the festival shows work produced with single-use video cameras, cellphones, point-and-shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen-capture software and other image-capture devices.

Noting that similar festivals have sprung up in Amsterdam, Paris, London, Japan and Brazil, festival co-founder Carlton Evans explains the disposable DIY aesthetic: “If you have a strong concept, you can take whatever you have and make a film.”

Training is all the rage right now. Many of us don't have executives in our businesses anymore, we certainly have mentors. [url=http://www.coachlinkjp.com/]コーチ アウトレット[/url],We were already shouldering their way in the path of coaching ahead of the demographic exploration showed that this younger years don't want employers and managers, they desire coaches and also mentors. Should you be in a position of leading or creating other people inside your corporation, [url=http://www.katespadesite.com/]ケイトスペード 財布[/url],developing coaching skills is usually your current greatest property.

The very idea of mentoring has come out of the actual sports industry. We types of use a view involving coaching being a relaxed process everywhere everyone must be having plenty of enjoyable, although that isn't always the case.[url=http://www.oakleyautoretto.com/]オークリー サングラス[/url], As i do training workshops My goal is to often start off them by requesting the questions using their sports emotions, "What brands a great mentor? " "What constitutes a bad mentor? " Since people list from the attributes it becomes really apparent that the things that make negative and positive coaches in the sports activities arena is valid inside work place.

Excellent coaches provide for skill along with team development and they also receive training to help them using this. Why should our targets and support connected with coaches in the office be virtually any different? But coaching in the workplace can certainly, will not, fail. [url=http://www.seebychloejap.com/]シーバイクロエ 財布[/url],When it falls flat, as well as for just one of a couple of reasons: the particular coaching would not adhere to sound teaching process and/or the actual coach would not take obligation for their purpose in achieving solutions.
