I still haven't heard back from Robin about the latest update to his site. But something's been gnawing at me all day, and I just remembered what it is: Hely's already written online about his Traverse project.
I checked my folder of Hely bookmarks, and sure enough, there was one named "traverse." Of course, the text of the page has been taken down. Thank you, Google cache.
My intention for this project was to spend as much time as possible over the last 3 weeks recording with the hidden spycamera unit. The process of editing the footage began to suggest the possibility for narratives within what seemed to be exceedingly banal material. Perhaps it was just my imagination. Exploring combinations of filters, quick cuts and a soundtrack/voice-over made the work into something I found kinda funny. I guess if I had to state this in a more intellectual way I would start wanking on about "explorations of narratives found all around us" and "the banal becoming sublime" and all that crappola, but that's not really my thing...
Though I doubt the finished product was racy enough to merit a 25+ rating (does such a thing even exist?), it has been shown publicly, at the Sydney Film Festival, Art in General's Annual Video Marathon, Old Habits Die Hard, and possibly other venues.
Is this new Traverse the same movie? Doesn't seem to be, but only Robin can say for sure. (Ahem.)
Spot the subtle magus reference.

The whole project seems fairly Magus-esque.

Side note:
I don't think it would be improbable to state that Briele Hansen could be Bridget Fischer.

Why is it not surprising that robinhely.com is registered with the same provider as neurocam and shellyinnocence?
Group discount?
