Being new to the medium and especially learning more about digital filmmaking now a days makes it really hard for me to grasp the technique & process of this piece. I love it, the colors and visuals - shapes, frames, texture - were just beautiful and entertaining for me. Also i felt a sense of community & collaboration like a groups of people got together, made this wild music and then each had a different approach or perspective of what images to lay down with it.
I want to do this for the rest of my life, just painting on old films at coffee shops like stan brakage and i guess learn to use an optical printer and make visual paintings on film. that would be ideal, i love to paint, and i love abstract art so why not just make it move and change and have bring colors, sweet. I mean i know there isn't much of a market for this work but i can enter it in festivals and play it behind concerts and whatever, i mean whoever wants it can have it...and it would be fun and relaxing and i guess i'll have to have another form of income, but that's ok.
this piece was also really inspirational for me bc i'm very into working with sound, and music to create a rhythm in my work. or my potentional work...what i will be doing one day. I suppose my ideal job woul dbe working with sound to create a textured and rhythmic visual 'story' and sequence with painted film and scratching techniques and bleach (i'm interested to see waht that does) and animation, the possibilities are endless. since i've been in this major it's all guidelines and structure to films, but i'm stoked about taking this class and kind of moving backwards in term of learning about film as more of an art form. It's hard for me to think creatively when there are so many elements to a narrative film and there has to be a concrete story and plot and shit, but really i would rather just doodle on some film and make a beautiful, abstract piece of art, yea.
