someday i'll be the next michel gondry

Michel Gundry is one of a selective few that has a child like imagination that helps him produce very dream like and fascinating works. In “around the world” by Daft Punk I like how he portrays the dancers in the video as if they were a small community of what the world is, such as life, death, technology and leisure. In Star Guitar Michel portrays a train ride through countryside and city, when definite beats happened Michel emphasizes them with certain object appearing on beat. If it’s a repeating beat the same object appears again however many times that beat happens. On the more tranquil part of the music Michel interprets that by either slowing down the speed.

chris k

Chris K lecture, lets see how much i remember since its been over a week and my attention is mainly on a 24 episode. Chris is considered a sound artist. One of his main topics of work that he has done is a language removal service. This service works on recordings of people talking and take out the words and just leaves the “uhms” silence stutters etc. It gets to the meaning of social language and gets to the personal. I think this type of language removals makes people seem kinda clueless in a way. This service is a company that Chris started that seems to be based of the Internet. Chris other sound works is certain scenes from movies such as sounds of guns and the barrels hitting the ground creating a sort of peaceful tune.

oh my, last project.

Well I, Alyosha Dotson was selected by a colleague of mine Mathew French to work with him the last project. I am pretty sure Mr. French has given you the high points of what he wants to do with the final project. We both will be performing in this video among other certified actors. I believe my main participation in this project would be filming and editing, and also generating ridiculous ideas to direct. I believe that if necessary our video can be projected at a large scale or we may decide to use a tv monitor and display it there. I am not quite sure in that department yet. The equipment that we will be using is high tech stuff, such as XL2 and other industry gadgets that I am supposed to know the name of but I don’t. whateve, I get the job done irregardless. Oh yes our video will be a Kun fu video with dramatics in acting! Ok I think uhmm that pretty much sums it up I am quite definite sure Mr. French did an extended version of this future work. I must go now to the clay bodies’ make-a-thon for I am late. Boo.

what what!

Our project consists of a schlptur/video/perfomance in the video/maybe some audio that is up tho Tori who is in-charge of audio and well i am not quite sure what else. the plan is to project the video on to the sculpture part which is tree branches painted white and the video will be projected on to them. the video is tree branches movie with a silhouette perhaps of someone smoking a cigar. contribution, well my contribution is quite amazing. just kidding. in my group we are distributing the work load quite evenly. my part is to work on the editing and help the rest of the group with their editing skills. i also did some of the filming with my teams input on what shots to get and how to go about achieving each shot. well this is all i can tell you because this is all i know of so far. thank you for stopping by.

she really needs to get a clue

Andrea bower well, her skills using colored pencils is phenomenal indeed. hmm her work for my taste i suppose was alright i wasn't quite impressed with the content, and she could of had a chance of making that up when she was speaking. her topic with abortion was good i think the best part was the drawings i didn't care much for the graphite prints. and the xerox/wraping paper i think it needed more content. i think andrea needed to really search with in her self and check on how she feels about the situation. it seems like she is just piking a topic which is hot right now and going on with it instead of searching with in her loins on her true feelings about it.

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.
