Khayushko(s), All!
How we watched the film.
On Sunday, April 9, an antheresnik took place - a gathering of participants
group "Antares", dedicated to watching the video film "CC999" (c)
Happy birthday to Frynze (by the way! :) ) to Marianna, sister EA.
The video cassette with the film was brought by FiL, who purchased it,
by ordering by mail from the authors (video is the territory of the law! ;-))). B
At the appointed hour, the spectators gathered at EA. Phil and I arrived at
metro, and walked to Ilya’s house, since on Sunday
the weather was good and it was nice to take a walk.
Ilya had a hidden part going on since Saturday :) it’s not known which one
party ;), and, they say, pretty dented :) ZX-Shadow even spent the night
visiting EA, but when we arrived he was no longer there.
Marianna and her friend Olya (Sveta, Natasha... -?) were present.
Ilya and D.J.Alpha. The owners' parents were not at home. They stood on the table
a bottle of vodka three-quarters empty, an unopened bottle
"Narzan" and an almost empty two-liter container of "Ochakovsky" (and
who has it easy right now?). Marianna, however, quickly changed the still life to
cups of tea plus cake, thank you very much for that! Girlfriend
Marianne muttered something like “I’m so tired of you all.”
:) and fell asleep on the sofa. D.J.Alpha quietly cursed "how
“I don’t care” and already in front of us he opened “Narzan”. They say it's better
drink sour water, but this water has an alkaline reaction. Hy yesOK. EA behaved, as always, calmly and confidently.
Ilya took the tape from Phil and took it to the VCR, but did not
I managed to insert it into the tape recorder - a glass fell on the video recorder,
filled to the top with water intended for watering flowers.
The VCR immediately blinked the indicator on which they started
incomprehensible numbers flash. However, the cassette was installed
into a wet device! The video player flatly refused to play the cassette, but
A string of numbers “7” lined up on the indicator, and the video recorder hung up.
When Ilya, with the words “And for some reason the cassette is wet,” took out
the tape back, Phil got a little nervous :) . But Ilya reassured:
“Nothing will happen, this is a Soviet video camera, he doesn’t care!”
(It should be emphasized that after an hour, when the spilled water
flew away, VM12 started working as if nothing had happened). And so
Over time the cassette was transferred to... another video recorder, brand
"AKAI", with remote control. And we started
watch a movie.
What I REALLY liked: the montage of interviews in which a person
says how everything is normal, cool, correct, etc., and in this
time frames of people who passed out, vomited or
fighting festival guests. The plot contrast is magnificent,
the episode is memorable. Very well done accelerated display of demos and
intro! Overall, I liked the script, although, in my opinion,The film's information content is a little lacking. Not enough "live"
communication, “observed” scenes, the only exception is
"Mortal Kombat" :) - basically either an interview or an award ceremony,
or display of works. The author also clearly dominates his friends and so
say, “favorites” - Random, Arty,
Captain, Amizhniki from St. Petersburg, but very few, fragmentarily illuminated
other participants and guests. We saw the Moscow team
only in the person of the awarded :( . I wouldn’t buy this cassette, even
if I had a VCR. After all, you always want
“look at yourself,” but you don’t even see yourself. And, IMHO, they can say so
everyone except St. Petersburg residents in relation to this film. Maybe Sergei
it’s worth “playing to the public”, more actively capturing everyone
those present? In any case, many would buy it for money
would buy a cassette just to “watch yourself” later
and show it to your friends :) . Perhaps I'm wrong (?), and in response you can
declare “then shoot it yourself,” but studio “56” actually
is currently the monopoly television media on CC.
CC999 participants, of course, remember everything anyway, but outsiders
the viewer does not see the picture as a whole, the whole story
turns out to be divided into a string of small episodes, behind which there is no
you can see the forests." There is practically no long shot of either the hall orschool yard, no hidden part (even we wondered where it was
-in Ozerki?).But the panoramas of St. Petersburg, taken from the car, are very
successful, especially in terms of their location in the film; immediately clear
the city where the festival is held, the weather and even the mood. And then -
individual editing frames are too short, you don’t even have time
look at and tune in to the plot as it changes. And that's all
noted the low sound quality, speech is difficult to understand,
especially against the background of music. Numerous video effects in places
look like glitches ;) . But I won’t expand on this, because
Everyone liked the video effects except me :) . Here, probably
The impact is purely personal. If we talk only about artistic
side of the matter (without mixing politics, etc.), so for me
the ideal TV presenter is Lev Novozhenov (“Old TV”) and
Igor Leonidovich Kirillov ("Time" 70-80s). That is
calmly, leisurely; smooth speech; the camera is on a _tripod_
(!). And completely unbearable styles - MTV and STS channels. Like this.
Therefore, I won’t develop this topic :), I’ll find myself alone :)
. So thanks to comrade Frynze, let him continue filming in his
aggressive style, people like it, so it’s right.
Don't take it as an attack, it was my opinion. Just for the future
(CC000) I still want more general plans so that you can seethe whole essence, the sound would be better and show everyone. A
In general, CC999 was, and CC000 should, of course, come first again
turn into a festival of computer art and a big party, and
we will go there for these reasons.
Best regards - Wladimir.
