Great Videos - Lumen Eclipse

This is just to get you guys excited and thinking! Woot!

Check out http://www.lumeneclipse.com/gallery and also the archives.  This is a great program and really brings into question one of the fundamental questions in video art today: What is the difference between video and animation, or is there any?

This still image is from "Sleeping" by Simone Häckel.

Introduction to course.

Be sure to visit EpicAnt.com for course materials.

Also be sure to purchase an external fire wire hard drive (at least 60GB). A fire wire drive will be able to run at least 7200 rpm; any less will not work. DO NOT purchase a USB drive!

Because the class has grown so large, I recommend students purchase or borrow a digital video camera (again fire wire capable) if this is possible. However, there are several cameras for the class to use (we will naturally have to share), so this is NOT required.
