Boy, is jet lag really taking its toll on me today. Not that I'm really that tired in sense of lack of sleep, but I can feel how confused my body actually is. Hopefully tonight will settle it.
I'll be honest - I tried sitting down and writing tonight, but nothing was flowing out. So I'll at least provide something worth watching. Since college, I've kept a little book, actually a few, because I always loose them - but I fill them with ideas for different videos I want to shoot. Shorts, music videos, documentary topics, etc. One of the original concepts involved shooting a video, editing it, printing out every single frame, crumpling them up, smoothing them out and then scanning them back into the computer. The desired results would be crazy patterns all throughout the video. Would it look cool? Not really sure - maybe someday I'll get around to it. But until then, the following video uses somewhat of the same concept (shooting a video, then using the printed frames to reshoot/edit the piece).
This piece is a bit more complex than my idea, but I love that all the transitions are in the camera. According to the director, no special effects were used. At times it gets a little disorienting, but the end result is pretty amazing and fun to watch.
