fleetinghosts no. 2: the dream of the black crabs (remastered)

The remastered Dream of the Black Crabs video, a short that is part of a series of experiments titled fleetinghosts by Louisiana intermedia theatre artist Amy Woodruff (see her YouTube channel for other installments). "fleetinghosts" is about nightmares and the measures we take to escape from them. This video short is a kind of prequel to a video short / performance composition / narrative experiment titled "fleetinghosts" by Louisiana intermedia theatre artist Amy Woodruff (loaded on her YouTube channel on 04-13-09).

Included in this installment is a description one of the many dreams that I have had that inspired the fleetinghosts series, as well as the redesigned harness from which the fabric forest is suspended (a success!). It was also a chance for me to experiment with video projection upon the forest surface for the first time, for which I used sections of the original fleetinghosts video.

I intend to explore this ongoing project as a live performance installation of some type in the future. Wanted to use music during the wordless second half, but couldnt find a clip that YouTube would permit (copyrights and what-what) so I ended up just re-using the sound fx clips from the original "fleetinghosts." Filmed with a Canon A570is camera on 5-19-09, and edited in Windows Movie Maker. Created in New Orleans, Louisiana 09-09-09.
