December 2020 Report Personal Movie by Hal McGee consists of about 925 photographs and short video clips from my daily life in Gainesville, Florida from the month of December 2020, assembled into a rapid (one slide per second) slideshow-style collage with an accompanying 4-layered dictaphone assemblage soundtrack. The audio materials and 162 of these photos were used in my recent December 2020 Report audio album and slideshow movie collaborations with Harold Schellinx. These materials have been re-mixed and re-assembled into an alternative Hal World Reality.

The December 2020 Report Personal Movie features photos of my dog Stanley, my neighbors and neighborhood, workplace environment in a large hospital, family, public transportation, Publix grocery store, cloud formations, found objects, trash, coins, etchings, scratchings, rot, stains, molds, rainstorms, fog, frost, castoffs of consumer disposable society, and perspectives on and ephemera of my daily life in the isolationist reality of the COVID-19 era.

In the dictaphone assemblage audio folk art soundtrack you will hear sounds that I recorded in the month of December 2020 during the isolation of the COVID-19 era using two Sony ICD PX-470 stereo digital dictaphones: my dog Stanley, neighbors, co-workers, family members, KQ Unotone iPhone synthesizer, circuit bent Casio RapMan, Yamaha Reface CS synth, 2-string pink dumpster guitar, street sounds, emergency vehicles, the hospital where I work, and Publix grocery store.

This December 2020 Personal Movie features my friend Dylan Houser who traveled from his home in Lakeland, Florida and visited me on Friday, December 11th. You can hear his voice, and him playing his KQ Unotone iPhone synth and my 2-string pink dumpster guitar prominently in the audio mix. Plus you can see him in several photos and he contributed the photo of me holding a postcard from him.
