For my kinestasis study, I want my project to stand out from the rest. I plan on using the technique used in this music video where the hands create an environment. I have never done this before but I know I can figure it out.

For the story of the project, I am lost. My goal is just simply to create something that is fun to look at and then possibly come up with a story or dialogue from there. I might ask for help from my friends because I am not that creative in that sense.
I plan on taking a tree out of the picture's environment and copying it over and over and placing it in different depths. I'm not even sure that I want to use the picture as a whole, only pieces of it separately. I have already took the picture into photoshop and added color. It doesn't look great but it definitely and improvement from black and white.
I don't know how using the sounds from the folder we were given is going to help me. The only thing I can think of is creating a song or beat out of the random tones that the samples have to offer. I can make a beat out of anything that has sound. I really want to challenge myself to stay within that folder even though it is a major restriction. This will be a fun challenge.
I am quite hesitant when it comes to being restricted as well. So are you kind of doing a piece where the tree stays the same but the environments change around it? That would look pretty cool if that's what you mean. I've been wanting to do a similar technique.
ReplyDeletewell be glad you can make a beat out of anything, sounds always been my failure in things.
ReplyDeletewill be interesting on what you come up with, i feel like i must of follen out of the loop again as i thought we were restricted to using just the image provided by the teacher.
@Andrew: that is correct. The instructions were to use the one image. Imposing restrictions for these studies is not a random decision. As mentioned in class a couple times, there is so much to learn when forced to work within set parameters, and even more so when the studies are reviewed together.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was really interesting to see the different direction that everyone took with the same image. I think this project would be a good opportunity to try to think about sound in an abstract sense. My video had a sound loop that I made from the Noise file, but I don't think it was very successful. I think that you should consider combining many different sounds to create some unexpectedness.
