A reflection shot of a segment of the Ramapo River right next to the bridge leading to the Ramapo Reservation. When taping this I decided to leave the modified HDR-HC9 camcoder in color mode. This, combined with the X-Nite XDP filter that was over the lens, gave the image a red cast. Instead of setting the camcorder to black and white or color correcting it for a black and white infrared image like I normaly do, I decided to keep the red color. In editing I made the red water more darker giving it a blood like quality. As this was located next to the bridge, and it was a weekend, there were many hikers going by so there was no chance for nature only sounds to be recorded. I decided to have the mic input set to zero creating a silent video. When I edited the clip I decided to add in my own DIY water drips. This was done by dropping water into a pan filled with water. The "mic" used to record the sound was a Sony DCR-HC52 hooked up via an I-Link to a Samsung DVD/VCR recorder. The DVD/VCR unit is hooked to an Outlaw receiver with JBL bookshelf speakers. The Samsung was set to DVD and the HC52 was set in record mode. This creates, depending on how close the Sony unit is to the hi-fi system and how high the receiver's volume is set (it doesn't take much!) creates a reverberating feedback. Since the Sony unit is a microphone in this setup, ANY sound made in my room is picked up and sent into the Outlaw! I have sounds of the feedback as well as my feet making the floorboards ...
