TheDailies#002 - "Ketchup & Ether"
Channel: Dustin Guerri
Date: 2012-11-16

The idea behind TheDailies is to edit a short film in one day.

TheDailies#002 - "Ketchup & Ether" started from a conversation about ketchup and ether with my best friend via WhatsApp.  See below for the transcript.  The style of the film is inspired by Snow's "So Is This" (1983) and Sharits' "Word Movie" (1966).

13/11/12 : Dustin: "Ketchup & Ether" - there's a title for a J G Ballard book.  Or a D D Guerri short.  Or a Mortimer painting . . ?

13/11/12 : Sophie Mortimer: Duke does the short, Soph does the painting, Ward writes the poem and we all compare.

13/11/12 : Dustin: By Friday ?
