This fake movie frame arose from my failed attempt to colour-correct another of the slides I've been scanning for the past year or so. The original image is of the Chapel of the Holy Cross at Oak Creek Canyon, at least according to the printed legend on the slide itself. The slide turned a bright pink over time, and my attempts to fix the problem resulted in a rather post-apocalyptic sheen. Having failed in my original purpose, it struck me that the lonely chapel seemed to be bathed in radioactive haze. Inspired, I added some graffiti to the side of the chapel and an on-screen title. Now that I've made this, perhaps a new parallel universe has sprung into being, one in which the original series of
Planet of the Apes films ended not with
Battle for the Planet of the Apes, but with this sixth film, 1974's
Twilight of the Planet of the Apes, in which Caesar's attempt to build a harmonious human/ape culture is threatened by a new extraterrestrial force.
Can man and ape work together at last to save their home and their civilization? SEE...TWILIGHT OF THE PLANET OF THE APES!
