Video Experiment No. 2

Here's one made with footage filmed at Booterstown beach with Dave. Might edit it a bit more.

Video Experiment

Here's a preliminary look at a piece I made with burrough's cut ups in mind. I'll probably continue editing it, and will most likely leave the ring segment out of it. I've got footage for another video (i filmed out the window in the media studio- filmed windows, pedestrians, signs, etc.) so I'll do another cut up style vid imminently.

New Film Project

I want to start a new film project, not necessarily related to the everyday project. It would be a short movie, using a collage of moving images with narration providing the plot. I'd love to get a feel to the piece that's similar to some of the Amelie sequences, where the eponymous character, played by Audrey Tautou, introduces characters by going their likes and dislikes.

I looked at William S. Burroughs' cut ups video; I like the way the images are arranged, although I probably wouldn't use an image repeatedly. Here's the video:



I would like to keep the aesthetic very simple, and have recently watched some Fluxus pieces, among which Yoko Ono's 'Blink' and 'Fly'. I've made videos quite similar to hers in the past, and will probably maintain the same style in the future. I prefer lo-tech, simple shots/sequences rather than overdone, overdetailed ones.
