InterGalactic Rainbow ProductionsNote: several of these use an old Intel Indeo video codec, which apparently no longer comes with Quicktime, so you need to use VLC (available for Mac, Windoze and Linux) to watch them. In 1975, Alan Batie and two other classmates made a movie entitled Omega V (160x120, 45M). This was for some sort of media class (I've forgotten the exact title now) our junior year in high school. In 1996, for our 20 year reunion, I put the movie online, redid the titles and credits and cleaned up some of the glitches in audio to come up with a New, Improved Omega V (320x240, 127M). This was all put on cdrom and given to some of my classmates who were involved with the project. I so much enjoyed doing this movie and the re-editing that in June, 1998, I signed up for Art of Filmmaking (in introductory production class, using Super8 film) and Screenwriting at the NW Film Center. The end result of the Art of Film class was All The Wrong Places. It turned out pretty well, but this version is not the final version. It seems I had the camera in Macro mode accidentally, and a bunch of it is out of focus (where there was enough light, depth of field saved me). I reshot most of it, but a hard disk crash wiped out the new version, so until I get the film version recaptured, this is all there is online (I thought I had the raw footage captured on video tape and on cdrom, but apparently not). I also have the proposal, story board and shooting script online as well. This project was a blast, so I signed up for the 16mm Editing class in August, and Sound Design in September through December. The 16mm Editing class was interesting --- the project there was to come up with 3 minutes of sound, record it on 16mm sound stock, then go through a couple of dozen old 16mm films, cut pieces out and edit them to go with your sound. Most of mine came from a reel of WWII newsreel footage, but there's also some from a couple of others mixed in. I call it War Dance (20Meg). A couple of other fiddly things I've done:
