Installation

Thanksgiving was a great break. I got in the mode of being on break, and this last week of school has been tough, because i am ready to relax, and there is no time this week. Everything for all of my classes is due on Dec 5th. We just finished up the music video, and it turned out really good. I think we are going to submit it in the end of semester screening. Everyone worked really hard on all of the projects, and it paid off. It was great to finally see how they all turned out once they were edited together. We are now moving on to the installation piece, which I planning to be a psychedelic journey. With some tvs, VCRs, and projectors, and dancers, we will make this happen!

Finals

I really enjoyed the seminar that we had on the film festivals. It was really helpful, because I have been wondering about what festivals I should consider sending my work off to, and now I know. It really hyped me up about making new films, and just getting my work out there. i want to submit to the Wisconsin Film Festival in December. Cucalorus was rather inspiring as well. I saw lots of great films, met some awesome filmmakers as well. I'm not going to go on about it, because I wrote a three page paper. I am excited about the final installation projects and end of the semester party. We are in the process of collecting Televisions, VCRs, dancers, projectors and other random objects to really blow this project out of the water. I have an awesome group, so there will be some awesome installing going on. I can't believe the semester is almost over. One more semester and I will be completely done with school. wow. I'm not really that sad. I believe I will be moving on to Chicago from here. hope everyone has a good break! Go Eat some tofurkey!

One-Take

Here is a video we did for the 2006 One-Take Film Festival. We made top ten. You might recognize the boots in another project coming up!

V-jay

I thought the V-Jay workshop was really fascinating. I know it would be a lot to get used to, but probably not that hard once you get the hang of it. It was actually really trippy. I felt like I was on acid, ecspecially the video of the cars sped up traveling superfast through the city lights. That is exactly how I feel as I am traveling through different cities. I got the same rush of energy just from watching the video.. We want to get in touch with Dr. Kreul and try to incorporate that into our final installation project. I am really excited about Cucalorus. It will be good to get out and see some good films and enjoy myself. I feel like the semester has been really stressful yet fun and rewarding at the same time. I have just really not had the time I need to relax and enjoy myself. I am constantly on the go, but hey that's life. It seems like it has hit me a lot harder this year for some reason. I am also excited about the installation piece. I am confident about our group, and I feel that everyone is going to put forth their best. Hope to see you at Cucalorus!!
