Self Portrait - Revised

-

I still plan to keep my original idea regarding the “letter” to some people from my childhood. I plan to keep the white turning into black aspect as well, although I did like the idea of dressing up like Bowie. I plan to paint the Aladdin Sane lightning bold across my face but as for clothes, I’m not quite sure how to go about that. He wore some wonky stuff way back then and finding anything remotely close to that is a whole extra project itself! As for my soundscape, I’ve recently come across a new instrument and I may utilize it a little in such. I want to go for a creepy like soundscape but I’m not sure how well it’ll fit into the film itself. I really just plan on experimenting with a lot of sounds and clips and seeing what works best or what gets my message across best.

Maya Deren was pretty hardcore. I admire the fact that all of her films were silent and that she was very particular about the way her films were presented, which is how it should be. One works hard to create this form of art and it should be respected, and after said artist is gone, one should still honor the wishes made by the filmmaker and screen the film with the upmost respect.

I thought his art was pretty interesting. Honestly, I don't find VR as amazing as it was at first, having used a VR headset many times. Kudos to him for making a living out of it though! Like that's amazing! Especially being as young as he is. I really liked the Johnny Cash video! I admire Cash's work and it was super interesting to see Koblin tackle it with such an art form.

Bela Belazs - Afterthought

It’s really strange to think about sounds and how each one has a specific place, and to think about how much sounds can be manipulated into sounding like something else. In addition to that, how well trained an ear can be. We as humans can distinguish a sound a dog would make from one a cat would make. This article was really fascinating. It made me realize sound isn’t just what we think it is. The ability to hear and recognize sound is a literal gift. I never thought of silence as how Belazs describes it. The idea that silence doesn’t just mean no sound, that minuscule sounds could be categorized as silence. To be honest, being in silence scares me. I hate silence. There’s just something eerie about the ambiance of a room that creeps me out to no end.
