Video Poem 6: Colaboration

2006-04-28T14:45:00.000-07:00

This is the sixth video blog. It has no sound. It was created with After Effects 6.0, iMovie HD, a digital camera, the series of three videos, and a self made Max Patch.

This assignment was to create an edited video in Max.

2006-03-03T12:19:00.000-08:00

This is the fifth video blog. It is the third in a series of three. It has no sound. It was created with After Effects 6.0, iMovie HD, a digital camera, and my friend Megan.

The assignment is to create a series of video podcasts. They have to stand alone but link in some way.

My idea is to represent diferent kinds of artists. In this case a musician.

I decided to scrap sound all together for this project at the time being. I may go through and put sound on all three eventually.

Video Poem 4: Writer

There was supposed to be sound, but at this point I cannot figure out how to implement my idea for it. Once I can figure it out, I will implement it and update.

Video Poem 2: 30 Second Con

2006-02-08T19:30:00.000-08:00

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.

Video Poem 1: Fish Memory

2006-01-26T12:57:00.000-08:00

This is the first video poem. It was created with a digital camera and After Effects 6.0.

The goal was to create a video poem with images only, no sound, that has a rythm to it.

My goal was to create a composition that reflected a fish's perspective of being dropped into a fish bowl. It is in four parts. It begins with the perspective of being dropped in. Then it starts over and reflects the fishes thoughts as it is dropped in. Then changes again to reflect the changing memories of the event. Then ends with the final, altered, memory.

I still have some issues with it, but I think it came out relatively well.
