Pop Melody / Dark Imagery / Del Marquis and Embryoroom



Embryoroom releases Digital Motion short Hothouse Shadow with Scissor Sister gone solo, Del Marquis.
Del and Embryoroom have created a series of digital motion shorts to be released in episodic form. The video project has a sci-fi edge that compliments the pop sheen of his solo EPs.

In the first video Del plays a character named 'Viz," shackled as his train speeds towards an unknown destination. Why he a prisoner and of whom remains a mystery. Viz passes in and out of consciousness, as waking and dreaming are a blur. His memory is manipulated and his identity scanned by a figure in the darkness. As Viz is identified and his visions absorbed, he seemingly becomes an image of his own fear.

Available exclusively at embryoroom.com and delmarquis.com.

Produced and directed by Edward Quist
Edited by Michael Wargula
Released October 31st, 2008

Article from The Times Online:
SMALL WORLD

From his computer in Hopewell Township, Michael Wargula edited a movie that’s making a splash in Europe.

Wargula flew to Milan last Monday for the Italian premiere of “Kuvaputki,” an abstract film inspired by the music of Finnish techno duo Pan Sonic.

Visit www.nme.com — the Web site for esteemed British music magazine NME — to see a five-minute, black-and-white clip from “Kuvaputki.”

The movie hypnotizes and slams your senses with sci-fi imagery focused on the theme of a cathode ray tube, as found inside a TV or computer. Ghostly, almost subliminal visions of Pan Sonic sometimes appear, trapped inside a cathode ray tube (which in Finnish is “Kuvaputki.”)

I know, I know: It’s not exactly a boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl plot.

“While we were editing the film we were inspired by the unique atmosphere of Beaver County, especially the sinister atmosphere of the post-industrial, post-steel age and the remains of the steel works,” said Wargula, who edited the film for Brooklyn director Edward Quist.

No U.S. screenings are scheduled, though the DVD is available through Amazon.com.
