I have had some fun researching shadow imagery and recently purchased three classic 1920's horror films: Murnau's Nosferatu and Phantom, and Robert Wiene's Das Cabinet des Dr Calgari. Weird and stunnigly lit, well worth a watch. I have also completed the recording for the Shadow text in the piece, which excitingly has all been sent off to be pressed to vinyl (to white label, check me out!). I have also resdiscovered my addiction to ebay and am now a proud owner of 5 super 8 projectors (each with their own character faults) as well as an old cartoon film entitled `papoose on the loose' which came with one of them. Sadly it snapped in the projector, but when I get round to salvaging it I'm sure it will be a joyous watch! Sadly this week, Jerry had to pull out of the project but has found me a delightful man to come on board in his place, who I am very much looking forward to working with. So things are plodding along, hopefully the next month will be less waiting for the postman and more making making making... but I can safely say (touch wood) it is all is going in the right direction.
