edie sedgwick clip from andy warhol’s “outer and inner space” (1965)
[This video is best viewed in the small player window, not full screen] This is a stereogram animation to, in my opinion, one of the creepiest show intros ever. I played with facial animation in this one. The monologue: There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits. Never seen a stereogram before? The goal is to unfocus your eyes and look through the screen, until the repeating pattern merges and you see the 3D image. Three tips that might help to look through the screen: 1) Try focusing on the wall behind and above your computer screen, then *keep your eyes focused at that distance* but move them down so that you are looking through the screen. 2) If you have a CRT monitor, try focusing on the reflections in the screen. 3) Start up close to the screen, unfocus your eyes so you’re looking through the screen, and slowly …
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Thanks a lot. This is a real gem.
Adorable, adorable girl!
@TheHollimon23 Nostagia is beautiful, and necessary in order to understand what’s really going on right now, in the present.
@desertshore I second what theraytex said! GREAT stuff!
@AsteroidB312 Hi, I didn’t actually cite Inner And Outer Space as a source on either Wiki or IMDb because those cites don’t accept quotes from films (even if the ‘films’ are basically footage). Off the top of my head I remember that the quotes where Edie talks about her life in a sort of abstract way are mainly from Inner/Outer Space.
@xXPinkGoddessXx i dont see this on either website
@AsteroidB312 There are excerpts of the dialogue all throughout the Girl On Fire book. If you go on either IMDb or Wikipedia, I posted a number of them in the Quotes sections.
i can’t really hear what she is saying. do you know any links that have the dialogue written out? or can you tell me by any chance? i am very curious
I don’t see why Zen deserves the thumbs down. Everyone has their own mind.
Which brings me to another note: the prudish approach that some take when someone ridicules or leaves criticism about great films/artists such as this one. No one is allowed to criticize it, and anyone who dislikes it “doesn’t have an open mind.” Maybe it’s because of the internet, or some of the young Warhol/ Sedgwick fans, or maybe not. Whatever the case may be, it’s only entertainment and art that is opinionated.
God i love her. she is truly a poets lady. Nostagia is a beautiful thing
Zen, whoa there fella, your like a speeding horse flailing to buck off a cliff, You are just another judegmental man. Why don’t you jand your public personality that I have access to, just jump.
Ahh, I could watch that face all day. Her expressions are priceless and somehow make her more likeable.
Smoking-gun evidence that Warhol meant to kill. Summer 1966: Warhol’s response to Edie’s crack-up was to hire Boston rich girl Susan Bottomly, age 16, 3 times expelled from school. She lived at the Chelsea Hotel, was drunk while acting in her first Warhol movie. Note: playwright/author Robert Heide, source of the suicide quote, wrote the script for suicide movie “Lupe,” which Warhol made, starring Edie (from the book Edie Factory Girl).
Again, I apologize. I assumed that when Warhol said he wanted to see Johnny Dodd and Edie Sedgwick commit suicide, he was joking. Why did I jump to that conclusion?
Forgive me if this is in poor taste. There’s something called the Warhol Foundation. It sells products. There’s an Edie T shirt with a picture of the actress. It’s stamped with the word FRAGILE over and over. Touching.
Forget my remark about Warhol’s sick humor. If my being an asshole nearly got somebody killed, I sure as hell wouldn’t joke about it … “I WISH EDIE WOULD TELL US WHEN SHE’S GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE. WE COULD FILM IT.”
This film was made by Warhol trading Joe Simon’s myandywarhol painting for the loan of the video equipment used to make this. Warhol was a pioneer, one of the worlds first video artists. So, with the warhol authentication board denying the validity of the paintings, but counting the receipts of the monies made from the films etc they are still exploiting people.
The question of whether she was mistreated while she worked for Warhol is beside the point. The whole idea of taking this seriously disturbed adolescent and letting her play with the drug addicts at his studio was ludicrous. In the end, did anybody respect Warhol? Lou Reed said he didn’t fault him for the drug thing and that in some ways he could be likable, but he also said the way he spread filthy gossip was disgusting. You wouldn’t say that he put a premium on loyalty.
That last comment was to ZenPapageno.
Yeah, that was also at the end of Factory Girl. It was so sad when I saw that. When the interviewer asked Andy what he thought about Edie’s death, and Andy was all, “Oh, Edie. I barely knew her.” And then it plays the long conversasion that they had over the phone. And also, I must say that Sienna Miller played an outstanding Edie.
edie sedgwick, she wasn’t an actress she was being herself
Lets get high
I’m not saying that Chuck or Andy were model citizens, but it would have been better for her if she had taken responsibility for becoming an addict instead of blaming others. That’s an important part of recovery. Did anybody make her take the drugs? It’s true that not lashing out the way she did would have been difficult for her, having been through such a terrible experience. Her suffering must have been unbelievable.
Chuck Wein definitely used her to get in w/ the Factory crowd.
But hey, I think Warhol exploited everyone. A lot of his art is about jacking images, jacking cache, jacking personalities & the downside is the number of casualties along the way. Instead of giving her a couple bucks and pills when she came round the Factory, he could have gotten her into recovery (her family did later).
More importantly though, Edie felt she’d been exploited. Check the background on The Andy Warhol Story.
Morrissey felt she’d screwed Andy over by leaving the Factory after they’d made her a star.
Not justifying, just saying that’s where it came from (probably).
Gerard said that Paul Morrissey heard about her death and said “Edie who? I don’t care what she ever did to him – kicked him in the balls or what. I’m willing to overlook Warhol’s sick humor, but there’s no excuse for the Morrissey crack. I would never trust him.
@Jaclynxmariex3 — Thanks for the comment! Did you try the tips in the video description? My dad has the best luck by starting up close to the screen then slowly backing away while keeping his eyes unfocused. He pauses the video until he can see the stereogram, then clicks play.
@Gielinorian — No, it’s a hidden image stereogram. Check the video description for tips on viewing stereograms. If this is your first time trying to see stereograms, I’d recommend starting with still image stereograms. Just do a Google image search for stereogram and you’ll find plenty. Good luck!
I can only see stereograms sometimes, i saw this video and your oragami one. There so cool once you get ” in the zone”
It sucks cause i only saw this one once, and only a few still images.. i guess ill just keep trying, any moer tips !?
It’s just static?
@ibcrazysumtimes — Ha ha!
the floating head called my computer monitor a television set, dudes trippin!
The original Outer Limits intro handled it better by starting with just a white dot, and for controlling the horizontal it changed its horizontal width to grow into a horizontal line. I guess it would have made more sense for me to copy that, and have him grow horizontally rather than shrink. Thanks for watching these, and commenting!
he goes vertical when he says horizontal and horizontal when he says vertical
wait was that suppost to be a floating head? it creeps me out
cool
@StickItMaster — Yes, that’s basically what it is. It’s an alien head, but he looks kind of like an Eastern Island face combined with a talking strawberry. He does have two eyes, but they’re small and look kind of like a mask. Thanks for watching!
That face… Is it some kind of triangular cyclops-face? Looks like that to me.
@SMNH89 — Thank you, I’m glad you could see it!
A M A Z I N G !!!
cool
@matthew11174 — Ha ha, thanks for the comment and sub!
I know what you mean… I have yet to come across a creepier show intro.
I love this, even though it sent a fucking chill down my spine.
@SuperLuigiGalaxy242 — Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
WOAH hey man good job at this video
subscribed…EPIC
@EvilWeevil9 — Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you could see it!
WHOA! EPIC
i saw it on full screen 22” its awesome
@TheMrBlinx Hey, it worked! Cool. Weird.
@ThePhantomChick I’ve done it often with still images, but never with a moving image (didn’t even know they could do that). I’ll try again. Thanks.
@chewylikesit — Hmmm… did you try the 3 viewing tips in the video description? Also, if you are new to viewing stereograms, you might want to start with still image stereograms, as they are much easier to focus on. I like the gallery at hidden-3d(DOT)com/stereogram_gallery.php
