Deb010805 is an experimental film that was the result of exploring textures possible with specially-fitted effects controls on a vintage Fisher-Price PXL2000 video camera. The resulting film is a perspective of reality created from the digital circuitry of a primitive imaging machine.

My original intention when filming was only to familiarize myself with the camera and discover the boundaries of "PIXELVISION". Upon review of the shot footage, I realized that there was significant noise in the image; more than likely caused by the recording cassette tape I used may not have been the highest-quality Chromium tape recommended by the product's manufacturer.

Also the camera's primitive (1980's vintage) video processing circuitry may have been over-saturated by one or more of the adjustments I made on the 'modded' control knobs.

However, upon a detailed review of the video, artistic visual elements revealed themselves and a film was created from these elements by bringing to the foreground, hidden visual artifacts, moods and textures, derived from the camera's attempt to capture reality. A psycho-active sound track was selected to compliment the visual elements, with the video then edited to the cadence of the
soundtrack in a music-video fashion, thus weaving the resultant texture of the piece.

This film is the digital equivalent of analog decay as shown in my film "Intangible" see link for viewing at undergroundfilm.org: http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films/viewer.tcl?wid=1032151&oftype=lar
