JUST HAVE TO SHARE THIS!! Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall(Live)



I just HAVE to share one of my all-time favorite rock performances...
the visuals are spectacular and I, please share your opinion, think that
the guitar work of Pink Floyd is some of the best EVER! I feel that all
that we experience and love influences what we create as artists and I
can certainly see some of the influence from these times on my film work
today in this spectacular "light-show". There are other clips of this song on
You Tube by the great "cover band" Australian Pink Floyd, that include
fantastic film clips and stills projected in a circle with the pyrotechnics
around it!

Perhaps the fact that I travelled doing light-shows and experimental
"happenings"performances during the mid 1960's and got to see the then
famous "Pablo" light-show (who, incidentally, I had partied with in Zihuatenejo,
Mexico earlier that year) that supplied the visuals for Buddy Miles
and the Electric Flag at The Fillmore East in NYC in 1967 that sewed
the subliminal seeds for what I am producing now in my films...
well....ok...maybe it was the subliminal "sin semilla"!

FLASH-FILMS: Three Experimental Shorts. A David Ellis Film. FamilyCat Productions.



Here is my latest project. It is a selection of three shorts; CLONE, REAKTOR and THREAT
with music by Berlin based Hanne Adam of adamned-age and features an original electronic piece
accompanying THREAT that I composed.

FLASH-FILMS was selected by the Oak Cliff Film Festival Dallas,TX 2012, Atlanta Shortsfest 2012 and it received the Award of Merit from The Indie Fest in La Jolla, CA 2012. So, we are on our way!
Can't wait to see where we screen next!

Hope you enjoy it!


F L A S H - F I L M S: Three Experimental Video Shorts
Director: David Ellis. FamilyCatProductions. Runtime:00:09:59
A selection of three experimental shorts using digital deconstruction and layered processing to create captivating animation-like videos. Each is sourced from a still photograph and extensively altered through multiple cycling frames, applied layers and textures forming the completed video. The first two clips feature soundtracks by acclaimed Berlin based electronic music composer Hanne Adam, adamned-age. The third, "T H R E A T", features an original electronic composition by the director. The three works seen together treat the viewer to a fascinating insight into director David Ellis' ongoing experimentation with alternative capture and computer generated video production.
