Artifact |
Photos from the late-2007 production of Artifact.
This was notable for the trials and
complications involved in getting the
original Video 8 recordings digitized
without having to pay some studio an arm
and a leg to do it.
The first photos are from when I tried
to digitize the original VHS master (the2000 release had been edited on VHS using linear,
dual-deck techniques), but went on to
discover that my family's DV camcorder
only supported analog A/V output.
Fortunately, I scrounged up a working
Hi8 camcorder from the Centre for Art Tapes and so I went to White Lance
Headquarters one late autumn evening
where we were able to use Mike's DV
camcorder as a bridge to digitize the
video as the camera played it back.
Then I embarked on the long, long
journey of reassembling and reediting
the movie practically from scratch. At
one point I had to send my computer away
for servicing, adding more time to the
project.
Finally, I was able to press some DVDs
only days before my high school
Christmas party reunion, ensuring that I
got a few copies handed out before
leaving for Japan January 1st, 2008.
You can see the movie on YouTube and willmatheson.com. If you'd like me to whet your appetite
for it first, take a look at the trailer. Enjoy!
