Paranoimia: Early Webcam Lo-Fi Video Capture
Experimental Film
A short early lo-fi webcam experiment overlaying self-shot footage with Marilyn Monroe performing “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend”, 46 seconds long and very homemade
It's funny and sad, and lonely. It has a haunted-me vibe dancing shadows, soft distortion, and a mechanical glitch loop.
The title Paranoimia comes from the Max Headroom glitch video, which has the same stuttering, broken-signal energy as my old webcam. That early digital wobble part comedy, part unease,is layered with Monroe's performance and the lo-fi, slightly haunted aesthetic.
