What fun work! Esp love The French Connection piece, the frenetic feel of the cuts seems particularly well suited to the movie. And, like you with your Daily Dialogue post, Scott, Loren is kind enough to include interesting trivia. So learned chase scene shot at 18 frames per second, a clever and innovative solution in 1971. I love when folks play with time. With CGI, our expectations are evolving, and messing with the audience gets more challenging in some ways, but playing with gravity and time will likely always remain effective. Two videos I came across recently exhibited a similar playing with time, hoping it's start of a small trend: Future of the Left, Sheena Is A T-Shirt Salesman filmed slow, played fast, regular song laid on top http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcD2cqNT1bQ Dum Dum Girls, Coming Down filmed fast, played slow, regular song laid on top http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZdbNMDH8hc Thank you for sharing your work, Loren! May great things come to pass for you.

I guess everything is a remix... here's The Police back in 1983 doing the slow/fast thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svWINSRhQU0 And I'm guessing the song Sheena Is A T-Shirt Salesman was inspired by Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and Sheena's In A Goth Gang and maybe even Sheena Is A Parasite by The Horrors. Just for fun, here's The Horrors' video featuring Oscar Nominee Samantha Morton rocking out and exploding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cor3wjbS4Gg Back to the topic at hand... Great work, Loren! Safety Last! was one of my favorite's as a kid.

Lovely work! The thematic nature of the woodcuts and the accompanying text are a delight. I especially liked the 'Screenwriter' woodcut. The story that accompanies it describes one of those 'only in Hollywood' moments. A heads up to those following Scott's assumption on the artist's gender: Loren Kanter is a man.

My bad, Michael. Gender-bias-based-on-name admitted! Mea culpa! I will fix the OP. Does not undercut the fact that his artwork [Loren] is great!

Ha, those videos were rather far afield, weren't they, Teddy. I was distractingly charmed by a cinematographer playing with his medium, that playful tinkering spirit, and it was all so analog, but that same spirit is present in those modern digital videos. The Horror's Sheena, so fast and fun, is totally a precursor, thanks for sharing. Artists are my favorite people and Loren is a good example of what makes artists so fun: they find interesting and fresh intersections. Like a centuries-old art technique and cinema. With movies so meaningful to us, it's potent ground and has spawned at least one successful career, that of Cindy Sherman (her "movie stills" photographs are self-portraits recreating archetypal (not specific) movie moments), may Loren find similar success. One other time I've seen a woodcut movie piece, for The Matrix, found that artist again, Andrei Kuznetzov, ends up he did more, different purpose and flavor than Loren, but also very fun: http://www.squidoo.com/star-wars-lubki
