Two Trains Travelling To and Fro
created: 16 January 2008

I made this while I was reworking the templates that I'd created and distributed to let other people make simple video works that could load and play two separate videos alongside each other. (What I called rhizome templates.) This has two video tracks, each of which can be played, paused, wound forward and back, and a separate soundtrack that cannot be played and runs regardless of the play state of the videos. I used the same commentary for several of these works as they are demos.

From the original post:

This is another lumiere rhizome. One was shot while travelling from Paris to Brussels on the TGV while the other is the return journey a few days later. I really like travelling on trains. Much more room than on planes (well, I guess I might not think that if I travelled first class, but like that's ever going to happen), and you get to see sky and land and sometimes places too.
