The Corruption.

Click on the photo above or link below to view.

My philosophy for making a video like this is to let the video speak for itself. What I would say though is that basically when you see Jack Nicholson‘s wife looking for him it’s color because she’s not corrupted. When you see Jack Nicholson before he takes the drink he’s in color, but somewhat distorted because he’s not completely corrupted yet. Lloyd is a ghost and part of the hotel so he stays in black-and-white. The moment Jack Nicholson goes from drinking to post drinking. He goes from color to a very star black-and-white to show that he’s now completely corrupted. He stays that way in the scene with Lloyd up until his wife comes in and although again she’s not corrupted so she is in color in the graphic novel sense, when she enters the room, her effect is not complete because although she’s not corrupted, there’s too much corruption in that room to bring it back to normal so the color is different there too.

Using color as a metric for soul-corruption adds a sophisticated narrative depth that people might not expect from a "filter experiment." It elevates the video from a stylistic exercise to a symbolic retelling of Jack’s downfall.

The logic works perfectly with the source material. It turns the "Motion Comic" look into a literal window into the characters' spiritual states. So watch the transitions closely. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Rivera

Shining Sleep.

Click on the photo above or link below to view.

This is another experiment in editing down film and mixing it for pacing. I have combined footage from Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining with Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's Doctor Sleep to create a two minute film that could also be split up into two one-minute shorts and this time I used both the color comic filter and for the Kubrick ghost scenes as well as adult Danny's flashbacks to the past, the black and white comic filter to give the shorts in both the two minute and single minute parts, a rotoscope motion comic feel. It is not perfect, but you can accomplish quite a lot on an iPhone with iMovie. Imagine what can be done for fun on my iMac?

A Tale Of Two Dicks.

Click on the photo above or link below to view.

A Tale of Two Dicks is a stylized comparison between how two different adaptations, one being Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and the other being the miniseries, Stephen King’s The Shining directed by Mick Garris. Both sequences focus on the performances of Scatman Cruthers and Melvin Van Peebles respectively as the character of Dick Hallorann and how both Actors interpret the character as well as how the framing and screen direction effect the tone of the performance and the subjective feeling each viewer may feel the scenes evoke. I have taken some editing liberty with Cruthers’ performance and removed the cutaways and choose a stark black and white filter to rotoscope the scene to evoke what I personally felt about it, but will not verbally stay here because I believe that there are too many ending and did you know type videos out there and in this particular case, I want you all to look at this for yourselves and take from it what you will using your own critical thinking skills. The Melvin Van Peebles performance is presented in a rotoscope comic book color filter because of the same reasons and in both cases, they both are kind of graphic novel like or motion comic like interpretations of their scenes. This video is exclusive to Patreon, but free to all to view and comment on. Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Stylized Best of Logan’s Run.

Click on the photo above or link below to view.

The Stylized Best of Logan’s Run is not intended to be take down or parody of a 1970s classic. It is the result of one of my experiments with color and tone and perception, which if you look at my takes on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and the miniseries Stephen King’s The Shining as well as my rotoscope graphic novel reinterpretations of clips from Once Upon In The West and For A Few Dollars More and my takes on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Wing Commander, you will understand what to expect here.

Basically there are three worlds in the film. The first is the domed city where people have more or less put much of their faith into an A.I. computer that seemingly runs everything for the people so they can live debauched and care free lives with one catch. So I tweaked the color pallet to contrast the reds, which the blood of the citizens and a tinge of a very pale mix of blue and green to emphasize the cold nature of the inner city, which is not the utopia the denizens believe it to be.

Next there is Box’s lair. He is the gatekeeper between the inner world of the city and the outside world. He is sort of a ferryman, but very few given him a tips since few ever get past Box regardless of where they are traveling to. Since Box’s world is refrigerated to the point that it is covered in ice, there is a distinct blue tint that shows the cold nature of both Box and the occupation he carries out. Both the A.I. of the inner city and Box show signs of malfunctioning to the point where the A.I. believes sanctuary is a place to be wiped out and Box literally laughs as he tries to perform his job.

The third world is the outside of the domed city with it flora and fauna and the ruins of Washington DC where a hermit exists, the son of two runners who made it passed Box and now is the proof that not only is there life outside, but everyone can live beyond the date the people were indoctrinated into for generations. Of course this will not be an easy life. Many people simply do not have the skills and will to make it outside, but with no alternative, at least they have a chance and hopefully overall this will lead to a successful adjustment to a new life. That is why I chose a more rustic and muted tone to the world outside because it will not be easy. Not at all.

Hence that is the nature of The Stylized Best of Logan’s Run. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Rivera

The Tapestry and Symmetry of the Original Planet of the Apes Series Uncut.

Click on the photo above or link below to view.

The Tapestry and Symmetry of the Original Planet of the Apes Series Uncut is a nonlinear telling of moments from the original five Planet of the Apes feature films exploring how the events unfolded, but while in the video we do not get the definitive answer, we do see how time can be altered and how the events of the future from the point of view of the Ape characters from the future also change their past, but not enough to change the fates of all. In my opinion the constant going from point A to B to C is Taylor. I believe his journey is the catalyst that brings on both the apocalypse with the Alpha and Omega bomb because it his presence that eventually culminates in the chain of events that lead to the end of the world and his presence also provides the ship for the Apes from the future to be propelled into the past, bringing with them the disease that killed all the dogs and cats and mutated the apes who rapidly were turned into a slave class by humans and touched off the revolution where eventually we have the two factions in the future whose conflict starts the cycle again in a slightly variant way. So if you really want to change the future in this paradigm then perhaps the only way is not to send Taylor on his voyage because he is the constant that ties everything together consequently. This is the original and uncut version that was censored on YouTube now exclusively available on Patreon. Thank you.

The Day of the Triffids with Feature Length Audio Commentary By Mark Rivera.

Here is my feature length audio commentary track for The Day OF The Triffids.

The audio commentary itself recorded by and featuring Mark Rivera of ‪@genreonlinenet‬ on YouTube.

Unfortunately, I do not have the feature film without the audio commentary. It’s a movie that’s in the public domain, but for whatever reason would not let me publish it, but I was able to publish the future length commentary to the film so that’s what I’m going with for now.

The audio commentary itself recorded by and featuring Mark Rivera of ‪@genreonlinenet‬ on YouTube was originally posted at the link below.
