My broadband is still off at home - don't ask! Maybe I'll get it sorted tonight .....
So what have I done with my project?
Well I have made a small video of me writing/drawing with both hands. This will be part of my final piece. I particularly like the soundtrack which happened serependipidously (if there is such a word) when I speeded up the video, the background chatter in the studio became a perfect symbol for the tension and incomprenhensibility on my brain.
I took pictures of cars from the bus, edited them, wasn't keen on the results, re-took more footage from the footpath outside the college, and didn't like those results either. May find a way of doing something different if I get time.
I had an excellent session on After Effects with Mark on Thursday, and got more help from him on Friday.
On Friday, I took pictures of my profile in silhouette. Used the 10 sec delay, so was able to do the job myself.
Second video idea
I was at a loss as to what I was going to put in the second small video. Then last night, my daughter suggested that I use Laocoon as a basis. I feel good about this idea. My plan is to be blindfolded, and listen to instruction of what to draw on a taperecorder.
(to convey the idea of having to blindly take orders from others about my visual culture essays.
The plan for the final piece is coming together.
There will be five elements:
- The picture of Lacoon which will fade, disappear, and reappear
- two silhouette 'windows' each with a video of writing Left the Blindfold, Right the 2-hands
- Two narrow horizontal strips, Top strip cars travelling Right to left, Bottom strip
- selection of peaceful photos.
