Final Presentation

I intend to discuss my exact plans for the presentation with Mr. Van Wormer, but for now I would like to incorporate some aspects of my thesis in whatever oral piece I will do. Since I have spent so much time with Kubrick's work I feel that it is important to acknowledge the part he played in my projects this year. As for the visual piece, I hope to show either a combination of shorts (videos), the full length Consider the Lilies, or the shortened version. More information to come later.

Updates

Over break I was able to work on some projects I cannot find time for while school is in session. Most recently I made a second video (music video) for Timber Timbre's "It's Only Dark", which I had been meaning to complete for some time. It was the first instance in which I utilized some stock footage, which was a new and interesting experience - though most footage was taken by me. It can be seen here. This small piece also gave way to a compilation of colored shots I had used when mixing milk, food dye, and dish soap to create a "psychedelic" effect I was looking for (found here). The Agonies video will be shown at morning reports at some point in the near future, as it was completed over break as well. Meanwhile I have continued to tutor the professor who has hired me in post production, and am now organizing his excess footage on the weekends. So far it has been very rewarding! If you would like to see the trailer mentioned in last month's blog post it can be watched here.
