“REMAINS” receives strong response

REMAINS from cotton coulson on Vimeo.

A short film, combining still photos and footage from Whaler’s Bay, Deception Island, Antarctica. This is the first of several segments about debris in the pristine environment. Funding provided by Danish Copyright Fund.
Special thanks to Lindblad National Geographic Expeditions and to our favorite composer, Pauchi Sasaki.

So there are the credits and special thanks one always wants to share. After all its a film, its supposed to collaborative. Well not everyone thought this film worked. Someone from the Sony XDCAM EX Footage crowd on Vimeo liked the footage but thought the music did not match. Other friends of ours, whose opinions we highly regard, did not like the juxtaposition of ‘moving’ images with ‘still’ images. Just a hint, they represent a very senior voice at National Geographic. Another very well respected NY curator loved the piece, and so did my mother, which means a lot to myself and Sisse.
We would really like to hear what you think. We are still convinced there is a successful way to merge the emotive responses we have to these different forms of expression.
Looking forward to publishing your thoughts.

    Hey Cotton….this is wonderful…and so is the music AND the juxtaposition of still and moving images…who are these critics and what the hell do they know about art???
