This new Vladmaster is narrationless. Instead of talk there is a trio of musicians who lead you through the Vladmaster story playing a variety of instruments and providing the odd sound effect. Listen carefully and you will hear everything from a pump organ to a tuba to a musical saw to a train whistle. This is also the first Vladmaster set photographed entirely in glorious black and white.
This Vladmaster was made to debut in a live performance with the band and emcee Tim Nickodemus for the 2005 PDX Fest Invitationals where Vladimir was, with some tongue in cheek, crowned the World Champion of Experimental Film. Here is a slideshow with some pictures of the creation and performance of the Actaeon at Home Vladmaster.
This set consists of four handmade Vladmaster reels, the box to keep them in, and the mini-cd soundtrack. The music was written by Peter Broderick and Nathan Crockett; performed by Peter Broderick, Nathan Crockett, and Branic Howard; and recorded by Peter Broderick. Tim Nickodemus introduces the CD. Douglas Jenkins is the human star of the photographs. The story was written and photographed by Vladimir. The reels and box were designed by Vladimir and printed and die cut by Pinball Publishing.
