the silver ball


here is a gorgeous example of the art of screen capturing. this is a single frame from ken russell's film 'tommy' that jean-lucien sharpshot a long time ago. it was taken from the 'pinball wizard' sequence; and anyone who's seen that film knows how damn fast it gets. a quick eye froze it, and the artist tricked and coaxed it to a perfect color and shimmer. the end result is dazzling, but altogether faithful to the original image.
