Children of the Lake

Joanne and Nick, are a smart young couple making their way in the world. She talks to the dead, while he collects valuables. They do it once too often and now they're on the run. They head into the mountains, night falls and their car breaks down, so they continue on foot. Not far away they discover a deserted house at the side of a hidden lake where they take shelter for the night, but the house is not empty. They find an eccentric woman, Queenie, and a younger companion, Naiad living there. The young couple soon find that they're not in control. Joanne thought she'd been faking her psychic powers, she now finds they're real, and someone, or something has plans for using them. They experience supernatural happenings, and it becomes clear that Queenie and Naiad are fighting over the newcomers in a power struggle of their own. It's the longest forty-eight hours of their lives and they're all wrong about how it will end.

"This video was copied from an animated cartoon film which I shot on standard 8mm ciné film. The project was started in 1961 (when I was 12) but, because of exams and girlfriends, I only managed to finish it in 1969. I was not able to add sound to the 8mm film. The soundtrack was added to this video in 2013, using the 1960 Owen Brannigan recording with my own voice overdubbed. In the 1960s I could not find a supplier of proper Celluloid "cels" so I had to paint each character image on sheets of thin cellophane bought from the local butcher. These sheets often became distorted and difficult to register accurately. There are many unwanted reflections due to the ripples in the cheap cellophane sheets."
