Movie
A 35mm film composed almost entirely within an old Mitchell camera over the course of 14 months. Since it's so easy to lose where you're at and what your doing when shooting improvisational stop-motion, it was shot to sound map made from Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War," in order to give the visuals long-form structure. It was designed to run silently as a loop on large-scale exterior video panels of Seahawks Stadium in Seattle. The credits occur in the middle because of the loop design, with the first frames interlaced with the last, so it could silently cycle on and on through the night.

Movie
Film/video hybrid made to the Purdins song. The film strips that create the moving periphery had to be individually edited, then manually transported across a light table frame by frame and rephotographed onto one piece of film. The two film elements—the center film and the periphery film—were composited together live, during film transfer to video. No video editing was involved.
