“Part of the appeal of 3D for me is that it’s a kind of perpetual infant. It’s always young and beginning, because it keeps repeating a similar cycle: it becomes popular, and almost as soon as it becomes popular it’s fading out again.”

    PROTOTYPE

    BLAKE WILLIAMS Canada, 2017

    An experimental 3D film from one of the leading innovators in the form, this immersive feature by Blake Williams drops us into the immediate aftermath of one of America’s most destructive storms. At once visceral and mysterious, Prototype is also a singular meditation on the medium of cinema itself.

    Echoing the disorientation of grief through a fragmented structure, this work of collaboration between Sofia Bohdanowicz, Deragh Campbell, Burak Çevik, and Blake Williams alleviates a broken soul by epistolary means. 3D imagery tessellates with 16mm and video footage in a prism of cinematic healing.

    Light doubles and bends in Blake Williams’s sixth short, as the snaking camera twists and turns around corners that buzz with histories of 3D cinema. Deragh Campbell materializes toward the spectral end of this mesmeric experiment in perception, which coruscates with wonder in the Catalonian sun.

    Haunted by a dead body and ghosts of cinema past, Blake Williams’s spooky short is accompanied by sounds of sirens and a turntable running—but with nothing left to play. Maximizing the prismatic potential of 3D, this hypnotic film glitches and glints its jagged way through ten spellbinding minutes.

    In Blake Williams’s impressionistic short, a flickering monitor provides an enigmatic visual commons in which intriguing footage of domesticity and the great outdoors wordlessly converge. Through inventive use of 3D technology, the fragility and malleability of the image becomes strikingly palpable.
