A Bryce Malek
Production(1966-1967) Directed by Bryce Malek; featuring
Robert Malek, Bryce Malek. A
collection of early motion picture experiments. 8mm, color, silent. 8:23
An umbrella production combining scenes from Test Film #1 (1966) and Test Film #2 (1967), as well as most of
the beginning 8mm film work of Bryce Malek. A great amount of experimentation took place during this
period, including reverse action, flying camera, double exposures, clay
animation—The Blob From Outer Space
(1967)—and flat paper cutout animation— Johnny
Atlantis (1967). Many of these
experiments had major problems with focus and exposure, but some showed
promise. The double exposure sequence at the end of the film was used as background for the credits in Bryce's doctoral project, Masculinity for Sale (2007). (In this website version,
Fatman and Meteor Madness have been excised and presented elsewhere as
individual films.)
