Acapella

Acapella

2009 • 5 min
Acapella presents clips from a stock-footage library, still bearing their time codes, of objects such as an apple, a basketball, and a burgeoning pile of popcorn, morphing over chroma-key-ready single-color backgrounds. Lonergan sets this collection to Sting’s a cappella version of the Police’s “Message in a Bottle.” That song’s refrain of “sending out an SOS” seems to echo Lonergan’s Web collage brb, 2008, made from merely two elements: the lowercase letters of its acronymic title, scrolling right to left, placed over an embedded, looping sound file of what one at first assumes to be the Morse-code distress signal (three short, three long, three short), but upon careful listening discovers to spell out “brb” (one long, three short; one short, one long, one short; and one long, three short). Be right back.

“somewhere outside of space and time, beyond concepts expressible by words, we meet, we touch. Everything disappears, it all starts again. But each new page we turn is not blank. And when I look at you I know: we've been here before. One long night of the Fall 2007 I have assisted my girlfriend in giving birth to our son. This is the memory of labor.“ G.C.

Omg Bff Lol

Omg Bff Lol

2009 • 6 min
OMG BFF LOL is a three-part animation that is part of Charlie White’s Girl Studies series. The animations introduce Tara and Blakey, two American teens caught up in the ecstatic fervor of shopping and the melancholy dilemmas of boredom and emotional fragility. Spun out like a serialized cartoon, OMG BFF LOL operates like a Trojan horse for White’s critique of America’s cycle of consumption and repulsion. It acts as a monologue on the terror of “wanting vs. having” and the girls' need to find gravity in the levity and privilege that they take for granted.
Global Warning

Global Warning

2009 • 34 min
Ronnie Romero and David Cervenka have teamed up to create a truly unique collective based on years of filming and editing wakeboarding and other action sports. The title "Global Warning" speaks volumes of the film's content. Breaking the mold of your typical wakeboard video, our riders have been selected based on their style, character, work ethic, and the desire to push the sport to the next level. We're taking eight of the sports top riders from around the globe and bringing them together to exploit this international talent pool in locations all around the world. Ranging from behind the boat, to cable, to rails and winching, the riding in this video will be as distinct as each rider's style. This combination will result in some of the highest level of riding and entertainment in a wakeboard film seen to date, not to mention an exhilarating HD wake experience. Global Warning will be setting a new industry standard by becoming the first wake film to be released on Blu-Ray HD Disc.
The Use of Movement

The Use of Movement

2009 • 16 min
The Use of Movement considers the formal edges of the frame and the way in which camera movement, whether slight or dramatic, is ascribed with meaning. A series of tableaux are played out—with foreign language voice-overs providing the only real narrative context. A sleepless woman is haunted by images she has watched on the internet; a man drives an ice cream truck down a barren street; a couple ride a motorscooter in the twilight; steam rises from manhole covers. Each scene is an incomplete narrative—and the monologues in Spanish, German, Bengali, and Italian only serve to provide a degree of abstraction to the sound treatment—distancing most of us from the more visceral aspects of the film form and creating occasional dissonances with what’s happening visually.
