digital technology

[Jim Bryant]

Since the introduction of digital technology the relationship between
camera and photographer has altered dramatically. Speed and
accessibility have come at the expense of mystery, intimacy and
tactility - qualities exclusive to analogue photography. Initially,
and in reaction to this cultural atrophy, I composed a piece of music
made entirely from sounds that I had recorded from a collection of
antique cameras. Constructed using the digital composition software
Reason, this piece carried a strong hip hop feel and seemed to connect
past with future technologies. To accompany this track I created a
video response that captured traditional, analogue techniques yet also
had a strong contemporary theme.

This short film is made entirely with stop motion animation, with over
six thousand still photos shot and then edited together. The cameras
are literally ‘brought to life’ here, while image composition and
lighting is as carefully considered in each video frame as they would
be for individual photo shots.

Wow! The work putting that together is just beyond excellent. I recognize many of those sounds from what seems long ago. Thank you for sharing - your work does inspire.

It's great work isn't it!This has been doing the rounds of the arts websites for a while now.

"ftjelly" must have spent weeks huddled in the Glasgow School of Arts studio creating this one.

I'd love to see more of their work, but this seems to be all I can find on the interweb.

Simply amazing. The time and effort must have been phenominal.
