Moments in time

Our first time: loopingstar

erikvisser — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 22:20:40 +0000

Me and my (almost) 8 year old son tried the loopingstar at Attractiepark Slagharen. For both of us it was the first time to do a looping.
In the end I think the looping itself is more spectacular for the viewer than the participant. The corners of the track, made at high speed, had the most impact on us. Looping being a mentally kick, cornering a physical one.
To celebrate our loosing our virginity I bought the video they made.

Looking back. My big & bold son does looks small and vulnerable. Should hug the guy even more. Brave.

Hello it’s me

I signed up for semanal08. After a forced sabbatical of 5 months I trying to get back on the horse. Hope I will succeed. Today, did three washes, bathed the boys, myself, gave the beds new covers, folded laundry, did the dishes, backed a cake with the boys (see it on twitter, flickr and mobypicture) and posted a video and it’s only 13:30h. Maybe I will pull it of: one video a week.

walking the pier

This is the second day of the canal festival here in Amsterdam.
Classical music all over the central city. Great music, great view, great weather.

Heavily inspired by the walks of Mica Scalin
Piano music from the piano cemetery at the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, therefore no cc this time

Just missed a special moment but decided to do it anyway.
And then… ducks on stage: 00.00.06 – ducks of stage: 00.00.56

11 o’clock seagulls

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Set out to prove my Lumiere point ones again and no luck. First minute is the best.
Missing the sound a bit because the bell in the small tower was telling it’s listeners it’s 11 o’clock.

Like the architect intended

This is my first Lumiere. Somewhat after the hype but the moment didn’t present itself any sooner.
I’ve seen about 30 or so Lumieres and I got the feeling that people take the best minute (or less) out of many.
So I intended to make a statement and be even more true to the Lumiere and would really show the moment I hit the record button to the moment it reached the one minute. Film was expensive those days.
But like anyone else I would record more and make a directors cut and let people decide which one would be the best, expecting that would be the directors cut. But when I looked at the footage I had to conclude the first minute is it. So I’m happy to be true to Lumiere and at the same time deliver the dc.

Frank and I

erikvisser — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 20:50:51 +0000

Have had this piece of film on my computer for some time now. Couldn’t resist.
I know Frank from way back on the AKI, the Enschede Academy of Visual Arts (1991-1997). In the second year he got caught by the super8 bug and it never left him again. Today he has his own company developing and digitizing super 8 / 16 and all kinds of special celluloid for clients all over Europe. On my two super 8 film I wanted digitized there was some seconds left and he couldn’t resist, and I thank him for that. Love this spontaneous action in his kitchen to get enough light. Where, on a rare occasion, I’m in front of the eye… nostalgia…

Number thirteen in the series “my neighbors”. Still under the influence of my daily trip to work and the vids of Aaron. 2 min of natural silence.
