Found Footage!
Around the year 2020 I paid a visit to my photo-friend Sam down in Rhode Island to work on what would have been my first website. Upon discussing ideas, rockin’ out and gifting some Polaroid 600 Black And White film for Sam’s Impulse I scooped a boatload of extra cameras he had from his Great Uncle David Perluck.
Inside of a Bell & Howell 8mm camera was this vintage Kodak B&W Film Magazine which David owned. It appears on the film that David was in the process of beginning a stop-motion short of sorts involving what appears to be an establishing shot of his studio, the drawing board displaying a rotund cartoon bear (?) and the face of Tina Turner with a little visitor hopping out to sing with her as well!
Discovering this short film after all this time makes me wonder how old it truly was and where David was going with these ideas.
I decided to flip the film right-side up to get a better view of everything captured.
David Perluck was an active artist in the Providence scene up until about 2006 and continued to play and perform music until 2016 when he passed away peacefully.
Here is a wicked rad tribute to Sam’s Great Uncle and a huge shoutout to my buddy for always taking the time to keep in touch over the years! There was quite an illustrious time for shows when I met Sam around 2018 then Covid hit two years later. We would attend so many of the same shows together just riffing over all the energy and picking up what Hardcore as a whole was throwing down constantly during those first two years I started.
The quote from David’s website reads:
“Commercial Photography is
all about the fantasy of aquisition.
Selling stuff is a matter of
communicating intangibles.
Not what the thing is,
but what the thing can do for you.
Not what the company really is
day to day, but what it stands for.
It doesn’t have to be a lie.
It’s more like a flag.
Something to evoke ideals.
A snapshot will certainly
show your stuff but
if you want to say something about it
and get folks to really look...
call me.”
