We've all seen variations on the personal time-lapse video --
a snapshot every day for six years, or a look at
a young girl's first decade. But nobody's done it quite like
Sam Klemke. For thirty-five years the
itinerant freelance cartoonist has documented his life in short year-end reviews, a funny, weary, eccentric, and hopeful record dating all the way back to 1977. Recently optioned for
documentary treatment by the
government of Australia, you can skim Sam's opus in reverse in the striking video
"35 Years Backwards Thru Time with Sam Klemke," an ever-evolving home movie montage that grows grainier and grainier as it tracks Sam
"from a paunchy middle aged white bearded self deprecating schluby old fart, to a svelt, full haired, clean shaven, self-important but clueless 20 year old."

The visual interplay of helicopters and fan blades in the
opening scene of
Apocalypse Now. The
idiot-future soundscapes in
THX-1138. The concept for the
baptism montage in
The Godfather. The actual cut of the "Director's Cut" of
Touch of Evil. The man responsible for all of these is
Walter Murch, one of the greatest film and sound editors of all time.
More Inside.
