"Screens" 3 min 3 sec
An expererimentation based on visual loops on three screens.
Projectplan
The project is based on work on visual loops and three screens.
The loops, providing repetitive visual theme (Sky and plane
footage), are projected on three layers of screens. The concept
of the three screens consist of two parts. First, the two external
layers crop and cut the two footage loops. Then, on the middle
screen appears the result of crop/cut images as mixed together.
Changing the angle of view modifies the vision of the three
pictures on the screens.
On the middle screen we have the two images combined. This is
the main concentration and the most achieved part of the
project. The pictures cut on the external layers complete
the view of the screens. In addition the use of transparent
paper provides more dimension in the scene.
The soundtrack is realised by Lassi Nikko.
Technical
1. Setup
In the set up we use two Super 8mm projectors. The projectors
are facing each other. In between stand the three screens on
which the loops are projected. The setup consists of three
layers of calque paper. Calque paper allows us to see the
pictures on both sides. On the external layers we cut a window
so that part of the images will project through the layer and
reach the middle screen. The other part remains.
2. The two footages
 
We used two loops: windmills shot in Denmark and view from
plane / landing shot between France and Finland. In
windmills, the rotating motion of the propel supports the
concept of loops used with projectors. Sky&plane footage
is a scene shot through the plane window. The scene includes
the clouds passing by, the wing, the landscape and the landing.
3. Result
Once combined the two footage share the same sky theme and the
fresh blue colours. In the windmill footage the sky and the
rotating propel are shot from fixed angle while in the
Sky&plane view the camera is travelling. Landing part supports
the windmills propeller with the same rotating movement in
the horizon. The achievements on the combined image are as
technical as visual. The combined images do not contain fixed plot.

4. Editing
The S8mm-films where transfered to digibeta-format in Yle using
DaVinci-console. Then digibeta was converted to DV. The editing
was done in association with Nicolas Schevin. Using computer, we
respect strict rules for editing. We only cut off scenes from the
raw material and rearrange them to compose the final video.
