Atomic Energy (1982)

A rather blurry 16mm print, and a bit dark, but the color is still vivid. Pretty trippy for ’82 with lots of impressive animation in this one – like an intermission film shown at a Laserium show – would be a perfect projected backdrop for a concert! Nuclear fission, atomic reactors, thermonuclear detonations, and particle accelerators are all explored.

This reel was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the ‘hot spot’ of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track.
