This morning I wondered for a while what I should do for my
creative action. I considered putting up my new cork board and adding
inspiring things to it and I thought,
that would be very practical.
However, practical turned out to be far too boring for this
cold, snow-sloppy day. I sat in front of the TV (a new vice since I
moved back in with my mom and stad) and watched some mind numbing dross
for awhile. Finally, I managed to extract a thought after rather a lot
of effort, which seemed like an excellent and very exciting prospect!
I watch so much TV here, I thought
, but I should be making my own screen-based entertainment instead! At least my brain won't be so drained in the end.
I remembered that I had a small collection of 30 second video clips
that I had taken on my phone's camera and that I had made an experimental
audio track not long ago that might go with it. So I set out on an
adventure. I had never worked with video before, but with iMovie, any
dufus can make a movie, so I set about my work.
This my friends, is the
result. There are a few areas where I attempted to put in some
crossfades, but for some reason, the stupid program wouldn't let me do
it... either that or it looks easier to apply than it really is. These
iLife programs are so dumbed down that they're kinda dumb and strangely
user unfriendly. Ah, well... perhaps someday I'll be rockin Final Cut
Pro (unlikely). Anyway, I digress. Enjoy my experiment, if you dare!
Hmmmm...Very interesting use of sound and texture.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more of your arts here.
Love ya,

This was a really fun exercise. I hope to do more in the future. Unfortunately, my little phone camera is sooooo crappy and it only takes 30 seconds of video at a time, so I'm very limited at the moment. However, limitations only make one more creative!
