Presentations

Gary Hill- Melissa B

Text Emphasis. Helps generalize by using I and You instead of names. Favorite parts.. repetition and images related.

Stanley Kubrick- Jimmmeeeyy

paths of glory, lolita, Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove.. etc. converging lines, color, classical music. He seperated his movies into three parts like a play to make the audience aware they are watching. Paimterly compositions... the audience as a spectator watching to create a space.

For this project I wanted to create more of a narrative. To see if music can make a story happen and to see what feelings I can arise from the audience. Because our spot is a stair case that wraps around Im hopping there to be some echoing. With this piece I;d like there to be a beginning a birth that leads to a violent destructive middle or war which eventually leads to the aftermath and quiet nature/ respect giving silence with a bit of hope that helps it move on to the next day. My main idea came from struggle. Struggling to make it through just about anything. Problems that life brings us and where they lead us. Hopefully I can pull this off.

Artist Presentations

william Wegman

suspenseful narrative created for audiences reactions. Very simple video to focus on what was going on which was the dog and the biscuit in a jar. Random objects appear in the frame throughout the piece (teddy bear, wooden block, microphone..) Childlike feel to the dog. No passage of time through light shadows shown. It is an ongoing uncut film. More like a recording of an experiment. What will the dog go through to open a glass jar to get into the treat.

Joe Wright

Director of Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, the soloist, Indian Summer. He uses natural lighting for all of his scenes. Tries to stick to most natural surroundings.. love! Although Some of the scenes seemed to have been shot with a green screen.

sound crit

Broke knee before this..

leslie... THe windshield wipers one was very smart I really enjoyed it. I like the idea that there is chaos and order when it rain outside. Loved the big splashes that started to come during the middle of the piece they kind of woke me up. ~the Sun is going to blow up.. funny and dark I like.

nicole: twitter- spelling over and over haha longish I wish there was a little something else to it maybe some music?. cute ending.

Jimmeeeyy: All the different prayers flow lovely together. I especially like the other languages that I cannot understand. Its beautiful. The english preacher is a bit annoying but I like the overall theme you did a good shocking job. GOD ending ;) 2nd one wow can you say creepy?! i might have nightmares. HAHA Im glad you left the its in the public domain. I find that so annoying whenever I hear audiobooks.

kirsten: When I met you at the disco-tech! I feel like getting up and dancing. It sounds more like djing. I'm not sure how much you messed with the found data but it sounds pretty good. I don't know if you found it all from one song already made and broke it up or if you put it together piece by piece. 2nd one.. very peaceful and hawiish like. Im not sure it was as much of an attention grabber as the first one. Although they both had the same feel I thought as far as a style.

KAtie: opera ? sounds beautiful but the abrupt ending is a bit confusing. Looping it however worked fine. 2nd one I like a lot. All the strange sounds coming together to make one musical piece is static.

Gaby: how cute! in a vary annoying strange way lol. I can't help but to think she's hiccuping the entire time . 2 nd loop... This piece would definitely be better for a surround sound sound system. I get the feeling of space being projected.

SAra: Repetition is obvious and the end was a bit draggy but I really liked the switch from the first part to the middle. Great beginning though! I really got excited. 2nd loop.. nice acoustic touch I wish there was more of that.

sounds

For the first loop I chose a sad song about a bird in a cage that was looking for a way out and I incorporated dramatic sounds of a man talking about life and constitution and other tracks to introduce it and also to add more dramatic sadness. To me this is loneliness and finding a way to get out by yourself. Also It is about being heard and having a voice.

My second: loop 2A is about order transforming into chaos. I wanted to go with this idea that even peaceful sounds can get a bit chaotic. So I mixed different bird singing and bird chirps with ocean waves and winds to slowly increase the intensity to the point where it all blends in and creates loud chaos.

class notes 3/15

Errol Morris: first person - The little gray man

Master of disguise... can you be a spy? (documentary)

How to avoid getting lost in the spy life. Video is simple and toned down. a variety of shots in first person but the video cuts off to specific instances where the shot is not in first person at all. The artist is a contradictor...? hmm -music is spy movie like. Spy theme with wardrobe.

FLUXUS!! - kelsey Ooooo

No Moment-Pier Huyghe (french)

video of a living room with little change happening other than the music. The rule of thirds is used for the shot. The camera stays still the entire time. The tv is on and it is brightly lighting the floor where all these odd shadows take place. The lighting also changes as time passes. Where is the moment? The viewer has control of when the moment happens. music is exciting and nerve wrecking while the video is simple a dull.

CRIT DAY!!!

1st group: mouth

Different styles but fit in well. Lovely title sequence! Each had their own sound which wasn't bad. I loved how different each one of them depicted the subject mouth. Gross make out scene lol Could not really tell that the third vid was all girls mouths but good point! The second vid was a bit confusing but visually interesting.

2nd. group: Sleep

RIP Guinney pig!! Im confused with the sound and bury hallucinating images.Second vid I wish there was more of the drawing on the face then the drinking. 3d video... why the music change if the same action is being done?

3d Group: Rock Paper Scissor

Rock.. its such a beautiful peace but I wish there was more contrast or a sunny day. Maybe a tripod. Loved the feathers! Paper: FUNNY... my favorite part was recycled and least was fire. Scissor: simple but i like it. you did what u said u would.. cut and i love it. i like the image that is forming slowly with all the cut up parts. Good job guys! I enjoyed the menu too.

4th: Sisyphus

5th: nothing

loved the end scene when it zoomed in to the colors! that was my favorite part. Very much about nothing although I was a little confused with the sleeping vid.. is sleeping nothing? or is watching a person sleep nothing? Was the video about doing nothing or the vid itself was nothing?...
