Time Displacement / Slit Scan

2021

A personal exploration into the technique of time displacement applied to found footage. No affiliation with or endorsement by the people depicted. Inspired by a few chances encounters with the slit scan technique in my past, and then the work Sarah Zucker who mentioned it in a description, giving me a thread to follow.

I figured out some unique techniques to allow for buttery-smooth warps without the risk of sharp pixel edges nor high speed footage. This allows even the old VHS footage of Rodney Mullen doing a spin to enjoy getting time warped.
