Behind the Scenes: Chase Alias editing cover art for the new album


Image by Chase Alias (:
Hard at work in Wilton at the new Studio ChaseMe. Editing often goes late into the night.

This is an Immersion Art Work as performed by Chase Alias and filmed by David Pollack. Immersion Artist David Pollack spends years developing his characters. The development of these two characters happened over a period of 7 years. Cubby’s Basehouse and then Chase Alias’ Craigslist are David’s newest series of works.

Immersion Art, Method Acting s a phrase that loosely refers to a family of techniques by which actors try to create in themselves the thoughts and emotions of their characters in an effort to develop lifelike performances. It can be contrasted with more classical forms of acting, in which actors simulate thoughts and emotions of their character through external means, such as vocal intonation or facial expression without psychological involvement on their playing role. Though not all Method actors use the same approach, the "method" in Method acting usually refers to the practice, advocated by Lee Strasberg, by which actors draw upon their own emotions and memories in their portrayals, aided by a set of exercises and practices including sense memory and affective memory.

The Portraiture Chair

It’s been a couple of weeks since I uploaded to flickr, but for good reason. It’s a chair. I created a little project for myself yet again which was to find a chair that I could use as a portraiture chair, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I checked at Goodwill, eBay, Craigslist, even local garage sales but didn’t have any luck. Sure there were several unique and fantastic-looking chairs, but all were labeled ‘antiques’ which only means $ $ $ . My wife and I visited Joe’s Collectibles in Omaha and found an interesting wooded dining room chair; a ‘cross’ cut into the top rail and wicker back. It was dusty, slightly broken, the cushion was worn and needed to be replaced but at …the price was perfect!

It took me a couple of weeks of sanding through the layers of polyurethane and stain before I added by own oak stain and polyurethane I also disassembled the cushion, washed the funk out of it, then glued the foam onto the wooden seat when it dried. We decided to go with red as our primary color and I let my wife pick out the material pattern at Walmat. After reviewing ‘How to Upholster a Seat Chair’ on YouTube, I grabbed my scissors and staple gun and went to work. When all was said and done, it was time to set up the shot and shoot.

I used my Nikon D300S with the 85mm f/1.4D on a tripod, SB-900 (triggered by CLS) on a stand shooting through an umbrella (left), octagonal softbox (right), DIY blue backdrop. Now it was time to center the chair and add the pedestal & faux plant. I took a few shots but chose this one; ISO was set to 200, exposure at 1/60th of a second at f/6.7 in aperture priority mode. I used Lightroom 3 for post processing to tweak the clarity, luminance, and sharpness. So there you have it.

Cordova Lake in the City of Kawartha Lakes is about two hours northeast of Toronto. Karen the kids, the grandkids and I rented a cottage at Cordova Lake for the first week of August. This is the second year we’ve been there.

It’s unsure just who discovered gold at Cordova Mine, but the property eventually came into the hands of H. Strickland. In 1897 it was acquired by The Cordova Exploration Company, in 1897, and was worked between 1898 and 1903. In 1911, it was purchased by Cordova Gold Mines Ltd. The mine site included housing as well. Its head office was in Toronto. The mine shut again in 1917 when it was again reopened under the ownership of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada (COMINCO). It remained open only until 1940, and has been closed since

Cordova Lake is just 15 minutes north of Highway 7 so is very easily accessible. Explore the surrounding area and visit the delightful riverside town of Campbellford to the south, take a drive to Bon Echo Provincial Park or visit the ‘rocks that speak’ in Petroglyphs Provincial Park. And if you haven’t visited Kingston or Ottawa, it’s an easy day trip to both.

From Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawartha_Lakes,_Ontario
The City of Kawartha Lakes (2006 population 74,561) is a city in east-central Ontario, Canada. Although designated as a "city", it is a largely rural area. The municipality is named for the Kawartha lakes ("Kawartha," shortened from Gaa-waategamaag, means "shining waters" in the Ojibwe language).

The main population centres are:

* Omemee
* Lindsay
* Fenelon Falls
* Woodville
* Bobcaygeon

The municipality was created in 2000 by the Progressive Conservative government of Ontario through the amalgamation of the constituent municipalities of the former County of Victoria, and officially came into effect on January 1, 2001.

In a close vote (51% for, 49% against), the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in a November 2003 local plebiscite, but the provincial and municipal governments have not taken any steps since the vote to initiate de-amalgamation.

I’ve included links to Cordova Lake cottage rentals, not because I want to rent you cottages, but because the ads feature great pictures of the lake and of cottage exteriors and interiors.
