i got a lil confused

Miranda July is a very well diverse artist; she is a performance artist who is also involved in film, music, writing and acting. Miranda has done more than a hand full of short films like The Amateurist, Are you the favorite person of anybody. Her full length film is called “Me and you and everyone we know” I think this film uses multimedia and video very well, in the film she plays a video artist and it show how she uses deferent forms of media to make her at work. For instance uses photographs of people or sceneries and involves the picture creatively as a form of actual scene and conversation. She may add sound to the image/video by using different media means like a T.V. using snow channel for ambient noise like an ocean. Miranda also uses the internet as a form of art which gets the common man or woman involved. Her site is called “learned to love you more” and it involves assignments for people to do. My favorite assignment is give advice to your self when you were younger.

"going digital 2.0"

Well, the lecture was good I suppose, Scott Martin was really thorough with his explanations about color management, calibration, color correction, slide scanning and shooting with a digital camera.
But I believe the most important part of his lecture, to me at least, was color correction and calibration. Calibrating is a program that what you see on the screen is going to be the exact same color, and such as when you pint it out. Sometimes what we view on or computer screen may be what we want and expect to come out in the printer but most of the time what we print usually come out a little bit darker. So I recon the calibration program or computer accessory it helps you get the exact same color that you have on your paper on your screen, so there will be no surprises when the final product is printed.

no more owlssss!!!

So far my project has been going well. This is after changing my idea completely and four hours of trying to figure out final cut pro, but I got figured out finally… kind of but so far I know my way around it pretty good. I think I am getting too used to avid. But it is good to know both editing programs. My project still needs quite a bit before it’s complete. Ideas keep popping in my mind and sometimes I go completely blank. I suppose i go blank because I believe that there’s so much going on in my cranium and maybe that’s a reason for my work being so random. Sometimes it really bothers me and I kind of panic and don’t know what to do, but this morning I sat while eating a banana nut muffin, and I decided that since music is such a big influence on my work, at least it was last year and it was kind of a guide for me, kept me sane and with an abundance of ideas I decided to incorporate some music into my work that kind of goes with a certain scenes. It is still random but I believe it will tie things together smoothly. The work kind of separates it self from the theme but in the end the theme will be pronounce.

Late I know and I apologize.

At the first the article “Second thought” regarding second life, did not make much sense to me due to the fact that it took a while for them to get to the point, but I am sure some of my Sunday evening laziness took part in it as well. What I understood form the article is that people are creating a second type of life by the use of video games. This made me think of a certain game called “The Sims,” this game is about creating a make believe life or family and controlling events with in the game. I believe this second life deal is about having full control on a fictional life through media. As if were and escape from the reality of life, or in harsh words the reality of how fucked up life can be, through the perspective that we as people can’t control certain situations. I also believe this second life is a way to make certain fantasies of ours come true, not only controlling the situation of a fictional second life but fantasies that as real human we can not achieve, maybe because they are absurd and just plainly not politically correct with society or perhaps the fact that our fantasies can be so imaginative and creative, like flying rhinos and singing pigs with cats wearing boots as bass. To a degree this second life talk is a great way to let people not only interact with new media but also, expand their imagination and making dream only situations come true.
