Welcome to the Underground’s Maiden Video Voyage – 11 seconds of absolutely nothing happening on the Upper Sacramento River (and that means no car alarms, no shrieking TV, no fighting neighbors, no crying kids, no sirens, no droning bosses… you get the idea).
The Trout Underground guarantees that this video was shot on a low-quality camera and contains absolutely no artificial sweeteners. Just the thing for our office-bound friends.
If this works, look for more Underground Video in the future (we expect Gus will be playing this one over and over…)

Fantasic, Tom! Only thing missing from the video was you and your tailing loop!
Your favorite fishing partner.

LOVE it. It’s funny but the slightly distorting audio actually enhances the wonderful sound of moving water…stay lo-fi !!!

I can see already that the Underground’s Readers sense my Kurosawa-esque grasp of the epic simplicity of my subject matter, tinged with just a taste of Scorcese’s storytelling framework. Brilliant. I’m freakin’ brilliant.

Andy Warhol
«Empire»
The Empire State Building filmed for 8 consecutive hours from dusk till dawn of the following day, shot on the night of the 25th of June 1964 from the 44th floor of the Time Life Building. «Empire» is an object-trouvé, a ready-made that prefigured today’s webcam images. It can also be considered a ‹structural film›: the obsessive repetition of the same image triggers our focus on the act of looking, on the value of the frame and most of all on the film duration. Time of reality and time of cinema are the same.

There we have it. The Underground’s Illtelligentsia Director has placed me in the same rarified air as Warhol. Clearly, my very breath is art…
