Overall, I thought that all three of the videos were great and it was interesting to see how each group took a different approach. I thought ours turned out really well, although, it feels more like a very good video that could've been great. As you know we had a narrative running through our piece that didn't really have a resolution or a redeeming conclusion. That's because the ending that we thought we shot didn't make it through the developing process. I was supposed to take off the monster mask at the end. It's too bad because the video and the impact of it could've been so much better if that ending had made it through. I predict that it will cause a very mixed reaction with a lot of people because it shows a lot of ambition, style, and fun, but it gives off a negative vibe at the same time. However, I still think it's very good.
As far as the installation is concerned, I thought it turned out all right. I liked the idea of projecting images on a blank surface and letting the audience participate by having them paint on that surface. Everybody seemed to be having a good time with it and that's what counts when you execute a participatory piece. I liked the other projects as well. They showed so much ambition and imagination. I also enjoyed the 6x1 and doc projects too. It looks like a lot of interesting and creative progress was made in all the classes this semester.
That's about it for this semester. I had a lot of fun working alongside all of you and I'm sure I'll you again next semester. It will be my last. I'm taking Contemporary Avant Garde, Sound Design, Advanced Editing, and the Looking At Movies DIS with Monahan. Then I'm done. Farewell, have a nice break, and I'll see you soon.
