Vids: ashley's black ice vid reminded me to make a song w/ awhole lotta bass. Also reminded me that my vid doesnt have to be very complicated. I think I might (if time permits) do a series of vids cuz I have so many ideas, it wouldn't be able to fit as one.
Food by Jan Svankmajer. Way cool. Shows how disgusting Man & his over-consumption is.
But I don't think I can do video effects like that D: It's quite a lot of work. Probably took a lot more retakes than you think. Plus the incorporating of sculpy animating...the idea of beyond spectorship is starting to creep up on me.
Makes me wonder why movies are so cheap, I mean in proportion to all the money and effort put in.
And Marcel's blog. Blew me Away. What a talented dude

Better
Attempted to take some video shots today...not as easy as I thought.
One take was of the washing machine. The machine hates me.
I place the camera down infront of it and record. But the machine doesn't move. Then when I stop recording and get up to do something else, it starts to move.
During the 50 min wash, I would come check and see if it's spinning the way I want it to. I would look at it and it wouldn't. But once I walk away, it makes whirring sounds. Uurgh.
Finally though, I found out that it is only at the last 10min of the wash that it starts to do its vigorous 900 spins. So I got those down and eventually came up with some very effective takes. Yay!
The next take would be of a skateboard. First was to try filming a skateboard down a hill in the sun. Second experiment was of strapping the camera with my shoelaces to the board and pushing it down a hill. All were fail.
I forgot that a skateboard does not make it's way down a hill
on it's own the way I pictured it in my head. At most it would take off great but then it would sidetrack to the curb. And it could only go short distances so it looked pathetic.
Second try. Skateboards on roads aren't smooth like waterslides. It was way shaky!
The camera was titled at an angle where the scenery didn't look that great. But one idea I got out of it was using the skateboard sideways so that the camera could move from side to side smoothly. Well depending on the texture of the ground.
Hoping to take adv. of the 3 days off to do this. And a bunch of other stuff of course. But I'm pretty excited about it cuz I happen to have a lot of ideas (thank God). I've even listed them out twice.
But I'm not posting them here yet. I know I won't be able to take all of them. Mainly because of some obstacles like location, people (getting the corporation & manning the camera for me), getting the angle and the effect I want (working w/ the camera)....And after the skateboard incident, one of my main ideas is looking to be a problem. K wont spend so much time here gtg

Luna
The videos below are songs that that I refer to in creating the audio for my film...not to forget the song Luna, again a Smashing Pumpkins song.
Actually I'm more interested in creating the sounds and music for the film, cause I've got some instruments & a band to help me. But I do have some videoing ideas to go along with it too.
There's definitely gonna be some guitar effects and sounds in the audio.
Since my band's a partially instrumental-progressive-indie-experimental-rock band, we have been exploring and inventing unconventional for our songs.
This is the third blog I've created. One used to be public, but dead, and the other one personal. But now both are private. And sorta dead. I like blogspot's designs.
I regret showing the class 1979. It had some special camera effects, but it was only for the song!
It's persistent, stirring, yet droning hums are what I'm looking for. Or this sense of movement/moving forward feeling. I hope to create that, not just the sense of moving ahead but also some beautiful reminsciensing tune that captures sunlight and memories of youth. A lot of the pumpkin's songs are like that, it's really appealing to me.
