SEE BANFF!

Kinetoscope

What a clever idea. The viewing machine is a classic looking kinetoscope, the kind you find at Disney land, and the images are of current day Banff Canada rendered in beautiful stereo.

These views were filmed around Banff and rural Alberta in autumn 1993. They were recorded with two stop-frame 16mm film cameras mounted on a “super jogger” baby carriage. Stereoscopic recording was either triggered by an intervalometer (for timelapse) or by an encoder on one of the carriage wheels (for dollys and moviemaps). Since the filming was “stop-frame” (rather than “real-time”), time and space appear compressed.
