You could put a video camera in the very center of a square room and have some mechanism rotate it at a constant speed. Fill the room with miscellaneous objects and film one full rotation. Empty the room and fill with new objects and film another full rotation. Repeat, repeat. Now you can sequence the video segments and it'll be weird like a room with 4 corners but mysteriously each new corner is different. You could have an actor put on a really long fake nose but look directly at the camera (and say something or whatever). Since the video won't be stereoscopic, the 3-d length of the nose will be unnoticed because of the head on perspective and it will be startling when the actor moves sideways off the screen at the end. |

the actor should stand really still. because the nose is "really long" it'll be prone to wobbling. believe me, I know. |

You could have a woman sitting in a bar, kind of like she's waiting for someone. She's drinking wine, looking around casually. She's chain-smoking cigarette after cigarette. now after each inhalation, stop the camera, let her blow out the smoke, start the camera again with everything in the exact same place. we never see her blowing out any smoke. |

I was thinking it would be hawd fow beveaws to hold hammews. They don't have thumbs. |

I suppose you could also tie a beaver to a large bottle rocket. |

That smoke idea would be awesome, I didn't get it at first (thought it would be like smoke would suddenly appear which wouldn't look right) but if she blew the smoke into a hidden balloon or something, it'd be like she eats the smoke without blowing it out. Oh there's this awesome idea I read in a book in an obscure library one time. Take some foil and cover any intricate object in a way to mould exactly to it (it actually works on really small intricate stuff) then take off the foil and take white spraypaint and use the spraypaint as if it was light. (spray at a very strong angle so the "shaded" parts are not hit). It described how to transfer this pretty exactly to paper and stuff (something about smashing it flat, I forget the rest), plus you can tinker with the foil mold, like warp it in weird ways. |

This would be truly excellent. You could call it 'The Man With The Anamorphic Proboscis' |

thats what I meant - she eats the smoke. :) I don't understand the foil-idea. who WHAT WHERE!? |

You know how they sometimes use that cool effect in video where they start with someone's face and it morphs seamlessly into someone else's face, repeat repeat? I wonder if it is simply based on the rule that each individual pixel in the first picture gradually changes to the color of the corresponding pixel on the second picture. If you think about it, where there were gradually shaded intricate parts and stuff, should the whole not evolve perfectly using only this rule? |
||||||||

|
|
but what makes the pixel in the second picture correspond to the the pixel in the first picture? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
in what lies the correspondence, is my question..? |

Or I could call it "a parody of star constellations: false conclusions drawn from chance perspectives" The spraypaint acts just like light since it travels straight in one direction. rub foil on, say, a windscreen. then spray at an angle to "highlight" areas to leave degrees of light and shade. |

the same position, like the 5th pixel over and the 37th pixel down. |

you could make an intricate and truely interesting piece of music for an orchestra. get it performed by a highly acclaimed orchestra and at a nice venue. the programmes should say the piece begins at, say, 20:00. actually, the orchestra starts playing at, say, 19:15 and the piece should finish at about 20:00. the gathered public standing at the doors to the room can hear the final notes of the piece. only after that the doors open and people may enter. the last minutes of music the people hear through the doors is in actuality the piece. |

I don't think that's how the "morphing" effect works, as it would just look like a dissolve from one picture to another. There's movement involved as well. |

I thought they were more linked to chosen points of reference in both objects, for example, eyes, nose, ears in peoples faces. |

You could stretch (fnar fnar) the idea of the anamorphicism of the prosthetic nose and have pictures on the walls that, when the wall is parallel to the plane of the lens, are completely inscrutable and blurred. When the camera is at a certain angle to the wall (and the picture on the wall is at the edge of the frame), the image becomes clear, but only for a brief while as the camera is rotating continuously. I'm not sure how well I've explained this, or even if the idea would work particularly well. |

what are those pics with the corregated fronts, so when u look at them at different angles their image changes? |
