TARANG CONTINUED
“We were looking at David Hockney’s work
with cubism and futurism, talking about mul
tiple points of view for a single piece of work,”
Hillier said. “The intention was to make the
students aware of how, when you view some
thing in the world, the process of observation is
very kinetic. You move your eyes all the time,
which is very unlike a still photograph. They
don’t represent how our perception works at
aH.”
Kannapurakkaran, who built the 3-D camera
rig to capture the performances, said one of the
initial difficulties of making the film was that it
wasn’t like anything else.
“The problem was we couldn’t tell anybody
what we wanted to make because it hadn’t ex
isted before, so we didn’t have a reference point
we could point at and say, ‘It’s going to look like
that,’” Kannapurkkaran said. “People thought,
‘Oh, it’s going to look like ‘Avatar,’ which was
hilarious because it looks nothing like ‘Avatar.’”
The film, a revision of the original student
project, only came about when a proponent of
the project, 3-D historian Ray Zone, passed
away and the filmmakers felt a tribute was necessary.
“Everybody knew him,” Kannapurkkaran
said. “Fortunately I was able to meet him and
tell him about my project, and he was at the fes
tival. So I told him about the screening and he
said, ‘I’m one of the judges,’ so I was like, ‘Oh.’
It was so scary. After the screening Ray came
and said, ‘It’s too short, I want to see more of
it, but it’s the most beautiful 3-D film I’ve ever
seen.’ Like, what? That was a big compliment.
And then Ray passed away in 2012, which was
very sad. When he passed, I called up Jonny and
said, ‘We need to extend the film for Ray.’”
Greenwald, the film’s director and editor, said
it felt strange taking the project international.
“It’s very incremental, those little steps, get
ting noticed in one film festival, and another,”
Greenwald said. “I think that’s the path we’ve
been taking. Even though ‘Tarang’ is techni
cally five years old, most people see it as weird
and new, so they keep going back to it. It’s got
this really long life-span.”
But the journey is more important than the
destination, Greenwald said.
“It’s a long and winding road, and I’m very
much still on the journey,” Greenwald said.
“I’m not trying to think too much about the
goal because L.A. is so crazy. There’s this as
tronomical sort of stardom that just happens. So
you never know. I just try to keep it to the point
where we’ll continue making stuff, always driv
ing forward.”
The film will be screened April 30-May 5 in
Oberhausen, Germany.
Brazos Valley
houses a
museum of
natural history
with pieces
one employee
described as
"Smithsonian-
grade."
MUSEUM CONTINUED
the 27 of June,” Cowman said.
Some of the exhibits travel the nation throughout
the year, such as “Bandits and Heroes,” an exhibit
on the culture and people of northeastern Brazil.
The museum houses more than just historical ex
hibits — it also keeps a small community of animals
for visitors to observe. Visitors can see a wide variety
of animals, from reptiles to tarantulas, and even a
glass bee hive.
Sarah Hoffschwelle, the museum’s executive as
sistant, spoke the fossil collection is her personal fa
vorite feature of the museum.
“We have some amazing pieces in there that
you would honestly be shocked to find in a small
museum like this,” Hoffschwelle said. “We have
some Smithsonian grade pieces that are hard to find
anywhere else.”
Hoffschwelle said she particularly likes how some
of the exhibits still have life-like qualities to them.
“You can see the skin on one of them, and you
can see how the hadrosaur died — you see the ac
tual puncture wound,” Hoffschwelle said, referring
to a dinosaur with a duck-billed face.
The fossil collection has specimens from across

the nation, and even some found in the Brazos Val-
lc y-
On Tuesday the museum will host a free meet-
and-greet party to welcome its new curator, Rebec
ca Ingram. This welcome party is open to the public
and will have wine, hors d’oeuvres and live music.
One of the more popular events the museum
holds are nature camps for children ages 4-12. The
camps work to instill a love of the natural sciences
^fffough small class sizes with instructors and fun
educational activities.
Heather Sterling, who works for the museum in
education outreach, said even though the camps are
focused toward younger audiences, the museum of
fers attractions for all ages.
The museum’s Boonville Days Fair includes a 5k
and half-marathon race, a day full of pioneer role-
playing and other activities. The museum even cor
rals up 10 different chuck wagons for an authentic
field style cook off. The museum has to raise its own
annual budget every year, and the Boonville Days
fair is one of its major fundraisers.
“It’s very unusual for a community of this size to
have a Museum of Natural History,” Cowman said.
"You can see the
skin on one of
them, and you
can see how the
hadrosaur died —
you see the actual
puncture wound"
