First Video Experiment

As i am looking into movement for the dancers of my visuals i will attempt to create some videos. I quickly experimented one night with simple video editing. I decided to take multiple photos as i moved my position and later edited them together with my chosen song. As this was a quick experiment the photos are not well planned. I would prefer to have taken them in a set that would suit the visuals i plan more rather than my bedroom. Additionally, they would look better with an actual dancer.
I ended up taking these photos in gaps once i realised i was missing areas, meaning some photo positions are out of place and there are some jumps between photos. However, i liked creating a video using photos as the still movement i felt expressed how the singer is stuck in her dream that is not real whilst "existing" merely in the real world where she isnt truly living. Like she is stuck jumping between the two. It appears like a video that doesn't have enough signal to load therefore is playing an pausing, which reminds me of moments in films where someone in distress attempts to contact help and keep breaking up. I feel this expresses her frustration and how she is trying to reach out to her crush.

To develop this further i would like to take photos of actual dancers to use and experiment with. Furthermore, i would like to include scenery shots of overgrown wildlife or leftover ruins to help set the scene. I would also like to try experimenting with different film techniques on the camera and possibly use an old film camera.

Paint and PVA Glue Experiment Continues

Using the same mixture i used for the second net experiment. I dripped the paint on the acetate. It looked really beautiful when it was wet, especially how the colours mixed and moved together. Unfortunately i lost the detail slightly as it dried. The colours became more dull and the mixture was weak which showed once dry. There is still really nice sections like the yellow turning green in the blue and how the blue crosses over to red. Unfortunately, some drips broke when pulled up due to the weakness. To improve this i will make a stronger mixture and build up the drips with layers so they are thicker. I decided to use a different PVA glue which worked really well with the paint. However, i used it differently so didnt find out if the first PVA glue was the mixtures problem. I poured PVA glue onto acetate which had some yellow and green print marks on. I did this as the glue picked up the colours on the back. Then i painted on the glu...

Paint Videos

Whilst doing some string pulling experiments with watered down acrylic, i filmed how the water acted and the paint mixed as i thought the movements were intriguing and the process of colour change. In the first video the colour purple infiltrated the blue water i added to the page and as i lifted the page the way it moved, even danced in the water, was really fascinating and unpredictable. I was using this paint to cover a face drawing i had drew previously using biro. I decided i didnt like it and would paint thinly over to show how the dreamer feels like she is drowning in her own mind. I feel like how the paint acted, before painting over the face,with the two colours was interesting as if they were performing to attract the dreamer before taking over her whole mind. I would like to film more of colours mixing and moving in water. Even though the paint didnt instantly react to the water being added i really like how the two colours of b...
