Dear Sherri,
LEMON rents from the Film-maker's Cooperative for $30. MoMA also has
it and may rent it too but probably not for less. HF made it as a
single shot on color reversal film with a B-roll to superimpose the
Robert Huot tribute title at the end. MoMA has an internegative and
has made video & DVD to exhibit in the museum gallery.
But the technique, I said to myself, is obvious. He took a clamp
lamp and a lemon and he moved the light around the lemon. But your
question in this public forum instilled doubt in me so I did a little
experiment and quickly made a little 4 min. video titled LIME to test
my thesis.
Its a 750KB Quicktime (240 x 180 MPEG-4) and I'd attach it here but I
don't want to clog up FRAMEWORKS. So if you like I'll send it to you
(or anyone else). Or if Pip says put it through, I'll send it out
universally.
