I’m still working to get posted videos iPhone compliant. This one is not, but as soon as I solve the compression equation, I’ll re-upload the video so the iPhone users out there can DL and watch the videos.

Prior to the shooting of the bear, the neighbors were concerned that it might get Max, my mom’s dog, and have a little Max snax.

Here are some pictures.

This is the bear print. I think there are also some dog prints in the picture.

This is my mother’s foot next to the bear paw print.

This is Max and I snoozing unaware of the bear danger.

The video clip in Snoopy-Doo comes from the Disabled vs Wild footage. My initial idea was to make a poor man’s Wavelength (1967), directed by Michael Snow. Using the FCP time remap function in the motion tab, I originally slowed the clip down to match the length of the Snoopy-Doo song I’d recorded. In doing this, I discovered that the clip itself had interesting sounds, particularly near the end. To ensure these sounds were not obscured, I increased the length of the clip so that it had handles extending beyond the duration of the song.

No hidden messages were intentionally put into the video, though people have commented the strobe made them feel nauseous.¹ It is probable that Thom planted some secret messages. Thom has a penchant for secrets and he did bathe with hand sanitizer that weekend.

Now watch the movie.
