Inside Out
©1990
color, 10:45 minutes, stereo.
Produced with funds from 1988/89 Fullbright Scholar Fellowship
and 1990 Experimental Television Grant.
Inside Out utilizes camera generated imagery, digitally processed material, computer graphics and animation to investigate the internal sense of the boundaries of self. This poetic piece explores the inner sense of time and the temporalness of the persona, as we attempt the balance of self image with the projection of self.
It combines studio performance sketches and self-reflective monologues with vivid camera-verité sequences shot on location in Montevideo, Uruguay. The computer graphic technologies used are primarily Amiga with DigiView/camera interface and extensive utilization of a Fairlight CVI.
