Halloween O (robot attack)
16mm loop , 43 second cycle, 3 hours, 2011
Video projection cycle featuring a battle between Canister the Robot and his rival, the yet unnamed character played this time only by Erik Sirke. The video was shot in the UofRegina Ed113 classroom with the green wall by William Bessai-Saul. The background is footage from my Modern project. I later reused this Canister fight footage in the super-8 films Rockem, Sockem, Canister. Due to some difficulties with film chemistry, I replaced the usual film projection with digital. However, the lack of sound and ease of maintenance reduced the overall pleasure.
Visible to over 100 children and adults after dark on Halloween night.
