The fulfillment of a long time goal - the videotaping of a kaleidoscope, which was then set to music.


TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: kaleidoscope; musicvideo; remix
A machine shop owner, Steve Grimes, built this kaleidoscope for me after hearing how I'd always dreamed of being able to videotape one. It allowed personal objects to be placed inside to make for individualized showings and was able to be videotaped when turned by hand. Impossible to thank him enough.

Fractals are the new kaleidoscopes. My parents had this wooden one that the bought at a Renaissance Fair and you could open it up and put anything inside you wanted to. It also had a prism type glass you could attach to make things look different.

By your screen name, you might prefer something like this:

This was the class of police instructors getting to fire the machine gun collection of a New Hampshire police chief. Done to Peter, Paul and Mary

Fascinating! Had no idea they were selling anything like this. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to remember where I did a video on fractals back in the VERY old computer days. I talked an IBM VP, head of research, into getting me out of computer languages and he gave me an international multimedia magazine. I was also his personal video maker and I’d make little music videos for him to show when he was giving keynote addresses, when I didn’t have time to make him a full video. One video was made in the middle of the night because TA DUM!!! We could put video on a computer monitor. Okay, so bugs let other video pop up in the middle of the images but it was MOVING!! Boy that was a long time ago. Husband built a half million dollar studio around my project and I learned to edit on 1” broadcast machines that we dragged out of virtual reality projects. With no edit controller! Until husband wrote one.

Thank you, pearls. That particular video was a mix of my Christmas miniatures and Steve’s tiny machine parts and broken beer bottle. He was such a good man.

I have SUCH trouble controlling my sense of humor.
