The Multi-Panel Video Installation Project was the most exciting creative project I have been a part of. It forced me to adapt to others' styles and abilities while keeping my unique alterations to video.
For this project, I continued to attempt to work away from my normal workflow. For the first video, I decided to remix one of my older works into video. I still wanted to work within the parameters of time, but also keep the uncanny feel to this work.
For my second video, I wanted to work entirely from drawing, and then create motion in post using After Effects. I did not add sound, and I am probably least happy with this piece, but I am happy I was able to experiment with animation drawing, and adding in 3D effects onto a clearly 2D work.
These last two pieces came after we fully decided on our theme, the degeneration of time and memory. I tried to make one piece incredibly abstract and unlike my past work, which was the "Intermission" video. This work was incredibly fun to edit and distort in uncontrolled ways.
This was my favorite piece I made and what I feel was the most cohesive and meaningful. Despite its simple appearance, I feel it follows uncomfortably close to the theme, which was my main goal for this project. I think the mixture of found footage, raw footage, and editing work well and are able to tell a story in 15 seconds.
