As Far As I Can Tell


I want to make a movie where I mount two identical video cameras to some sort of harness that attaches to my shoulders. The cameras will point out at an angle, viewing whatever would be directly outside of my field of vision. I would show the movie on two monitors, and you would see me approach people, but then as I got close enough to talk to them they would go out of the frame and you would just have to listen to the conversation. It would be about noticing things around you that you normally overlook. Also, I’d like to make it so that you only heard the audio of the other person’s side of the conversation. The viewer, the first person perspective of the movie, should feel as if they are lacking some of their proper senses. — My biggest trouble is going to be finding two of the same video cameras. I want identical quality in each monitor.

I’m currently listening to Damien Jurado alot. Highly recommended for your winter evening enjoyment.
