Bitter Harvest Of Community Sown Sorrow

[darkentrees]

Fantastic work! I love it. This is the kind of video creation that drives introspection into the darker edges of our reality - and while we know not to pursue them too far, we must examine them for what they reflect of the truth of ourselves - thank you for this amazing creation John!

Is this footage from after the nuclear bomb has been dropped?

[JohnLRice]

Sort of, maybe a virtual a-bomb that had gone off inside of me :-(

When I made this I was thinking of trying to find a several minute video clip of a deserted street with a manhole cover rolling on edge around the hole and just the sound it would make. That's how I was feeling . . .utterly devistated, stark, empty . . almost numb but aware of the pain but . . hands tied to seek any resolution . . . very sad day . .week .. or more . . . for me . . and I still carry the damage and pain . . .

Heh, I'm just trying to go with the flow of my abilities . . . strange and unpopular as they may be . . ;-)

[trontastic]

Very strange. Made me think of the Erasurehead film its that disturbing.

[JohnLRice]

Thanks! I love Eraserhead but yes, it is very disturbing . . . as I was when I made this . . . .

Wow, haunting as well as powerful. The over-layed "markings"

were interesting, reminded me of star charts in a way.

[JohnLRice]

Thanks! I think the person who created the original clips used a software based plug in to create "dust" and since I time stretched the clips slower, they hand out for a while! ;-)
