Have you ever done a frame-by-frame analysis of a film for video/film production or film history class?

Just thinking about it as I’m sitting here at work trying to reconcile a video that was shot as a livestream and full of weird timing problems (21.71 fps? really?) with properly recorded audio, pretty much watching it frame by frame to spot where the good sound goes out of synch with the wonky video. Matching up waveforms: not as interesting as analysing Louise Brooks as Lulu fooling around backstage (which I did for a Film Studies class when I was at SFU in the early 90s… I think I still have the essay.)

Yesterday I found that Vidma had tucked herself in a ridiculously cute way so I grabbed my phone for a picture which Malenky suddenly decided he needed to walk across her to photo-bomb.

Out and about where I’ve “got no business being.”
