ORANGE

"Orange" is part of a series of digitally animated pieces of mine inspired by the direct film tradition. This tradition includes works in which the filmstrip is directly manipulated by painting, scratching, or otherwise placing objects on it. To create my piece I cut up an orange into several pieces and scanned the pieces into my computer. I then took the image files of the orange pieces and "pasted" them directly into the video strip using a photo editing software package. This technique then transforms the orange pieces into what appears to be a random exploding jumble of images when viewed.
