50+1
An American Collection

This is a 53 minute video made up of one minute clips shot or set in each of the 50 states plus Washington D.C. at the end.

I finished this piece in 2001, again in 2002 and then really finished it in 2003.

 

This video was to anchor a collection of pieces about the United States. This includes the State Songs, the Public Service Announcements, the postcards and a few others I can't remember now. The "recent tragic events" of 9/11 threw off my momentum about the overall project, but I'm slowly trying to put it back together. Greg Purcell wrote about it here.

This piece is 110 MB and takes a fairly long time to download, even with a high speed connection. Download it here by clicking on any of the pictures. Thank you for your time. (Update: Here is a much higher quality, ipod/itunes playable version of the video but it's 173 MB. So the earlier warning is still in effect. Download HERE)
