Overview

Sketch Film #3 (Tomonari Nishikawa, 2006, 3 min., super 8, silent, 18/24fps, b&w, USA/Japan)  The third film in the series, which starts with a sequence of paired images: a focused image and a blurred image of the same subject, which was caused by a diagonal camera movement. Later, it shows an experiment to produce an apparent depth by rotating an apparent shape. It was edited in camera and hand-processed afterwards.

Viewing Notes

I think he is taking urban imagery seen in Japan and matching it with similar imagery in the US. I like that idea a lot. Have an idea for that when I go back to Japan.

RIP Tomonari Nishikawa, who died on April 20. I’ve been working my way thru his short films on his Vimeo Channel.
