Dreamers Life

This is my first time ever editing videos. I also took a big step and I became a little adventurous by writing my own song which was another first for me. The editing process was very difficult especially for this project. The hardest part was actually matching the audio recording to the video and also trying to make it so it doesn't look like a music video.I wanted to stick with the concept of Richard Graham's video art but I wanted to relate more to modern artists and also I wanted to make it so I can relate to video as well (Graham's song just didn't fit me well...). It turned out to be a long agonizing process but I think it turned out pretty well for my first.

Beauty Behind Destruction

I did the first part of Alex Hubbard's Collapse of the Expanding Field I-III. I wanted to keep the concept of destroying the flowers creating destruction. I kept everything the same except I reversed it. I wanted to show the beauty behind the destruction that created the art. This was probably my favorite video to make out of the two. I had fun breaking the glass and cutting the flowers. I was very happy with the final video.

Video Art project

 The 2 videos I chose are:

The Collapse of the Expanding Field I-III by Alex Hubbard (2007)
I chose this video because how they took something that was already beautiful (the flowers) and they cut them up and destroyed everything but what came out in the end was art. To me, it was the beauty of destruction that created an art piece and that is why I like this video.

and

How I Became a Ramblin' Man by Richard Graham (1997)
I really like the concept behind this video. It is about a wandering cowboy that has been traveling around with his horse and he would stop and sing in the middle of no where.  It is like the saying "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" The man is talented at singing and playing the guitar but no one can hear him. His talent is pretty much oblivious to the world.
