Cameras and Economics, clip


Another clip from the Cameras and Economics series.


It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the camera — as a medium — is changing culture; literature, for example, is now marketed as much visually as it is literarily. 


Yet camera cost & camera accessibility are not discussed.

Noteworthy

Sensurious by Ian Gibbins and Judy Morris at Moving Poems. Ian writes:


Judy and I have collaborated on many projects over the years. Sensurious – drawings to stimulate the sense was her third solo exhibition. It was held at Pike Wines gallery in Clare Valley, South Australia (2014) and at Magpie Springs winery gallery neat McLaren Vale, South Australia, in 2015. I wrote short pieces of text for each of the drawings and they became the basis for poem. The video features the formal Latin names of the plants, the meanings of which inform the text of the poem. 

Also, thanks to Marie Craven at Moving poems for posting on a recent work  entitled Deep Into Another Night . This is a work in progress; however, I was happy enough with the footage to build an ambient, text-free version around it. The poetry version to follow.

BridgeText: The Screenplay-novel


 
BridgeText is a publishing venture I started several years ago. The initial idea was to promote the concept of the screenplay-novel, a hybrid form that itself can take many forms.


In this video, I describe some of the ideas I originally had.


Unlike a few other writers who’d dabbled with similar concepts, the screenplay novel, as I envisaged it, had to work both as a conventional novel and as a graphic narrative.

In early experiments, I used both photos and drawings.






Increasingly, the projects have moved in the direction of moviepoems and moviestories.
