The Yoko project definitely peaked my interest when I opened the crumbled paper strip and read "body sound tape piece." Although my subject was just one person, my teammate, I wanted to focus the symphony of sounds that come from one golfer alone on the golf course. All the emotions within a 4-hour round. Some repeated, some exploded, all in all humorous. Golf shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Decollage:
For my decollage, I decided to incorporate food scenes from movies such as Inglorious Bastards, Ratatouille, and Burnt. The overall structure to this was to convey a dinner party and dessert scene with different characters from different movies--from cooking/baking, to chatting at the table, and disturbing dinner manners. With the use of elegant classical music I juxtaposed the sound with horrid table manners from Miss Congeniality and Mr. Bean's Holiday, I wanted the audience to feel a sense of disgust as if they were sitting at the dinner table despite different clips connecting towards each other. I wanted the overall tone to be anticipating and on edge like a Tarantino movie--that's why I ended the video with the infamous apple strudel scene.
Stop-Motion:
I've always been compelled by Tim Burton's films and the minimizing world he creates. For my stop-motion video I played God.

Documentary:
For my video, I decided to superficially document my friend, Lena. The voice-overs are robotic because I wanted there to be humor and quirkiness for the overall tone. Since I filmed her during school, we joked about how everyday is the same routine--which is why a lot of the shots look like she's just going through the motion. I liked the Decollage project from last assignment, that I included some clips from other videos to add onto the tone of the video. Even though the voice-over is robotically engineered, the comments were organically said during the shooting process, from Lena herself (I just jotted down the phrases that stood out). I would say that I combined all three of the genres to this project and produced something that puts a smile, and chuckle, to my face. Enjoy!
Self-Directed
Artist Statement:
For my self-directed project, I decided to stick to the stop-motion genre that we explored towards the end of the class. I wanted to incorporate some themes that I had throughout all of my films that I've made throughout the course, so I hope it shows through the video. Stop-motion is by far my favorite because there's a sense of magic towards the process. What you see is what you get essentially--besides maybe some photoshop. Tedious, yes, but so satisfying to watch! I find joy in the process and relaxation in the outcome. With this film I created a tiny world with small figures and some creativity. Inspired by the critically-acclaimed stop-motion master PES, his worked inspired me to take a spin at stop-motion with a twist--enjoy!
From the beginning of the semester, I've come to the conclusion that 'video art' definitely changed my perceptive and respect that I have for this genre--I didn't even know this was a genre. It's been a great evolution towards my filming and editing techniques that I'll be sure to continue in the near future!
