(Orchid)

Content: The animated fracturing of the orchids was hand drawn frame by frame with a fracturing pattern I designed and created. It was a slow very time-consuming process to get a few seconds of animation, as the computer graphics systems at that time were not really set up for video. I brought my own video cameras and equipment, live orchids, occasionally a live model and a very early Lyon Lamb Video Animation System to interface with the digital Aurora Video Graphics system to create this fracturing animation. (I sort of created this unique way of working since no one knew how or if this equipment pairing would work) Aurora was generous to give me overnight access to their beautiful Aurora Video Graphics System (my paint system of choice at that time) at their San Francisco, California facility.
