I TRY TO BREAK THE OLD RULES OF EDITING - EIJA-LIISA
Splitting
Screens,
Splitting
Spaces,
Running time
as real time
and then as
distorted time
are things that
have always
obsessed me
about cinema.
The interesting
thing about
cinema
is its potential
for nonlinear
timing.

IMAGE PROCESSING: MACHINE VISION = NEW WAYS OF SEEING
Your assignment is to produce 6 image-processing explorations (5-10 seconds long a piece). These explorations are due on Feb. 28th. You are to explore they layering of multiple filters upon the moving image and take notes of their visual vocabularies and relationships they hold to your footage. Post explorations on the blog (Via Vimeo) before class on Feb. 28th (all in one video please), you are to pick your favorite from the three and extend it into a larger video piece (2-3min) \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
This is the start of Assignment 3 (100 Points): Extend one of your favorite image processing techniques you discovered into a finished video (Required must have sound)-(2-3min) piece DUE March 6th << CRITIQUE. You are required to also write an artist statement to go along with assignment 3 (posted along with the video on the blog.) Observe how the filter changes the image. Does it allow you to see the image in a new way? How does the process or filter conceptually balance with the images you process? It is extremely important to find that balance. If the filter worked as a metaphor when applied to your footage what would that be? These are questions I ask you to consider when approaching your artist statement. Make sure you think of a thought provoking title. Since there is quite a bit of time to work on this project I would like to see work in progress as much as possible.

IMAGE PROCESSING
Form Data Form by Jason Bernagozzi
Monica Duncan
Entering . Peter Donebauer . 1974 from RRRRR on Vimeo.
The imagery and sound in Entering were performed 'live' by Donebauer and composer Simon Desorgher, and recorded in real time, using a colour TV studio at the Royal College of Art. Later Donebauer and Richard Monkhouse developed the Videokalos synthesiser, as an image-sound performance instrument. Entering was transmitted by the BBC in 1974.
