This isn't really"experimental" work I don't think but shows what you
can do if you're resourceful - and willing to use things in ways
they're not literally designed for (plus in this example it's a
'movie' captured in a higher resolution format than Superman 4 or
Apocalypto).

Sorta WWCMD ie "what would Chris Marker do..."

I'm heavily invested in this. Proceeding with some degree of
apprehension, but proceeding.......

I think digital motion imaging has to continue cutting ties with
television but for now the video legacy does allow for some
affordability and access.
