L-F Céline – Le règlement

In books on January 30, 2009 by Hugo

il a jamais rien enregistré, mais il écrivait beaucoup de chansons. les textes sont trop droles.

ca c un truc qui a été enregistré chez lui. moi je veux que toute la bonne musique s’enregistre dans des chambres à coucher.

Paroles
Je te trouveraisi charogne!
Un vilain soir!
Je te ferais dans les mires, deux grands trous noirs!

Ton âme de vache dans la trance prendra du chaud!
Tu verras cette belle assistance
Tu verras voir comment qu’on dance
Au grand cimetière des Bons-Enfants!

Mais voici tante Hortense
Et son petit Léo
Voici Clémentine et le Vaillant Toto!
Faut-il dire à ses potes que la fête est finie?
Au Diable ta sorte
Car (gauffe?) ma porte
Au mal fera tes crosses
Que le vent t’emporte !
Feuilles mortes, soucis!

Depuis des payes que tu râles
Que t’es cocu
Que j’suis ton voyou responsable
Que t’en peux plus!
Vas pas louper l’occase unique de respirer

Viens voir avec moi si ça pique
Aux grandes osselettes du St Mandé!
(bis)

Mais voici tante Hortense
Et son petit Léo
Voici Clémentine et le vaillant Toto!
Faut-il dire à ses potes que la fête est finie?
Au Diable ta sorte
Car (gauffe?) ma porte
Au mal fera tes crosses
Que le vent t’emporte !
Feuilles mortes, soucis!

C’est pas des nouvelles que t’en croques
Que t’es pourri!
Que les bourmanies te suffoquent
Par ta mélie!

C’est comme ça qu’a tombé Mimile
Dans le grand panier!
Tu vas voir ce joli coupe-file
Que je vas te relire dans l’araignée!

Mais voici tante Hortense
Et son petit Léo
Voici Clémentine et le vaillant Toto
Faut-il dire à ses potes que la fête est finie?
Au Diable ta sorte
Car (gauffe?) ma porte
Au mal fera tes crosses
Que le vent t’emporte !
Feuilles mortes, soucis!

Mais la question qui me tracasse
En te regardant…
Est-ce que tu seras plus dégueulasse
Mort que vivant?

Si tu vas repousser la vermine
Plus d’enterrements!
Si tu restes en rade sur la pile
J’aurai des crosses avec Mimile
Au trou Cimetière des Bons Enfants! (le mec il va baiser avec sa meuf sur sa tombe, Necro style!!!!!)

Mais! voici tante Hortense! Et son petit Léo!
Voici Clémentine et le vaillant Toto!
Faut-il dire dire à ces potes, que la fête est finie!
Au Diable ta sorte
Car (gauffe?) ma porte
Au mal fera tes crosses
Que le vent t’emporte!
Tourbillons et soucis!

Voila. C’est fini!

A Woman’s Love

Bresson - Diary of a Country Priest

If I had, like you, failed to keep the promises of my ordination, I would prefer it to have been for a woman’s love rather than for what you call your intellectual development.

Contemporary Exhibitionism

In cinema, image on January 19, 2009 by Hugo

by Hille Koskela

‘Home webcams’ present daily lives of individuals in the Internet, generating new subjectivities. They change the conventional code of what can or cannot be shown, and thus, expose cultural tensions surrounding epistemological conceptions of vision, gender, identities, and moralities. By rebelling against the shame embedded in the conception of the private, people refuse to be humble. They may gain power, but it does not head for control over others but, rather, blur and mix the lines of control.

This condition of ‘overproduction’ and increasing circulation of images will mean that there is not only need for traditional empirical research on surveillance as we know it but also need for conceptual understanding of the new forms of looking, seeing, presenting and circulating images.

Visual images are loaded with “the promise of reality”.

The everyday life appears gloomy and trivial compared to the ever-spinning action of the virtual lives. The individual experience melts into the collective imagination. The boundless (re-re-re-)representations of visual images blur the line between reality and fantasy, original and simulation.

The lens can also be rotating, which makes it difficult to notice when and what is being shot: a mobile phone camera does not have ‘the appearance of intentionality’. And third, mobile phone cameras can be ‘wired’. They are much more efficiently linked to other flows of information than a traditional camera. The images can be immediately sent to a friend (or to a journalist), and with the WAP function models, directly to the Internet.

Focus doesnt rack during dialog, but so far most life-like use of the device.

new film

In cinema on January 4, 2009 by Hugo

the script poses a possibly filmable reality. it is a promise (or a pro-mess)
then the camera is used as a tool to record that probable filmable reality

current state

In cinema on January 3, 2009 by Hugo

I have no clue what is going on. Haven’t left the house for three days. Keep watching movies and looking at images. Have come up with new ideas for making films, new ways of making films. Filmed reality makes me euphoric. But have to select the right images. No. Must select right reality, out of which to produce an image. Must make images fit together in correct sequence. It is their ordering that makes out a story. They have to be ordered in a way that would benefit the storytelling.

But the problem here is, what is the story being told?

I have never attempted to work like this. I usually have to plan out everything in advance.

There’s a couple of things I realized that I need to explore:

1. Relationship with the tool.
Since I don’t own a high-end camera, I find it hard to trust a rented one. I have tried renting before and it rarely produces satisfying images. Plus, it is expensive. I will rent the one at school then. Both, the film, and the digital one. fuck the lights. all i need is the camera and the tripod. I also feel like I would mostly be shooting with my small digital point-shoot camera. Here are some samples of some of the images it produces:
