inexpensive way to get t.v. "flicker" on faces

[Tim O'Connor]

I just had shoot that was extremely low budget and I was by myself. I wanted the faces of the

people who were supposed to be watching t.v. to have colors moving over them as if they were

watching quite a pyschedilc movie but you could adjust this technique easily. I cut three holes

in a piece of construction paper, taped pieces of three different gels to them and, because I was

by myself, suspended this device with twine from the ceiling, tied it to a chair on one side and

made a tether of twine on the other side which I could pull back and forth or sway and see and

adjust the effect while operating and wearing headphones to monitor audio.
