| Title 1 Description: |
Up River Blues is a dreamlike series of vignettes featuring the region surrounding the Whanganui River valley. The Whanganui River is New Zealand’s longest navigable river with rich historical significance. The abandoned Shangri-la commune of Ahu Ahu Ohu, on the Ahu ahu tributary of the Whanganui is the central feature of this video. In 1974 the NZ government found an “Ohu Scheme” on public land to establish communes - “intentional communities”. Most failed. This was one of the longest lasting "Ohus".
A sense of apocalyptic foreboding was created through special effects including 3D animations of a stranded Russian submarine rusting on a steep inland hill and black helicopters flying over Ahu Ahu Ohu. (In fact, helicopters are a reality in this region in the government‘s search for marijuana crops; the hills are indeed former sea beds.) The video ends with a crop duster reversing into a cloud of dust - in line with my general theme of over 25 years in combining apocalyptic paranoia with irreverent whimsy.
Technical requirements:
The video is available in both in high definition and standard definition. It is to be shown in portrait view with the monitor or projector turned 90 degrees from the normal viewing position.

| Ttitle 2 Description: |
Tunnel is a video that considers the enigma of hope. It was created almost by accident after recording a crowd exploring an abandoned railroad tunnel in New Zealand. While adjusting for the exposure of the darkened tunnel, the exterior became overexposed. The area outside the tunnel was bathed in a white light reminiscent of Hollywood and tabloid tales of near death experiences and alien encounters. I simply introduced slow motion, an almost clichéd tool that produces a dream-like effect and an ominous sense of mystery. The digital noise of the darkened interior suggests the spontaneous nature of filming an auspicious lemming-like stroll.
This work can be viewed on a flat screen monitor (preferably a 42” plasma or larger) or projector (preferable high definition). It is available in high definition BluRay and standard definition.
