all right, this is something i have to keep track of -
the tudou site - a japanese site for watcing videos, must be something like their youtube: http://movie.tudou.com/
this beautiful framing in japanese - of someone taking some kind of image of what seems to be a computer game-
[and actually this makes me realize something - that all these 'handheld' movies - cloverfield, et alia - are actually using the camera rhythms and motions of the videogame - the swooping in, pulling back, searching with the camera. like the 'camera' work here- or - i don't know what you call it on a videogame, actually. something to look into: camera motino in videogames]
it makes for a slightly trapezoidal screen -- i know there's a word for this, this filming of one's game moves on a computer screen - well, screen grabs, i guess- or is this some kidn of children's cartoon?
but this is so eerie- at any rate, i love the framing of the Japanese ideograms and the black background -
something to go, i guess, in the 'letterbox' section - in this sense of video-watching platforms creating framing for a video - which is meant to be 'unseen' but of course isn't -
oh and that reminds me, here's another thing on framing which i also stumbled on - [it's amazing how a blog can turn randomly surfing the web into a suddenly useful activity - just start writing about everything you've been clicking through and voila- a kind of internet triangulation, that's somehow - i don't know - it feels like you're done something even though all you've done is link together links - which is what passes for knowledge now. actually - perhaps this is how new languages got started)
from a site, new to me, called loose wire - on a device called uTag
well, actually that doesn't really apply - it's about 'banners' and substituting another site's URLS for the ones you want to link to. never mind.
