Video Poem 2: 30 Second Con

This is the second video blog. It was created with a digital camera and After Effects 6.0. The sound was collected at FX Show 2006 with a minidisk recorder. It was edited with Amadeus II and Garage Band.

The purpose of this assignment was to describe a space with sound and image while considering the words tone and image.

My goal was to describe a comic book convention floor. I wanted to give the feeling of the overwhelming chaos that occurs on the floor, interspersed with remembered images. The sound reflects this by presenting the general babble with a few snatches of half identified sounds. The images reflect it through the chaotic overlap which little can be pulled from with flashes of concrete ideas, the most obvious and memorable being the sketches and the map, which are taken away from the convention.
