Sound Experience

My Sound Experience I would call acoustically live and full reverb of "French" words since I realized I had a blog title that led to a big white page. I thought I'd littered it with letters, but perhaps I am still traumatized by Belazs article and my brain wandered off in perplextion. Or maybe I have synethesia and thought this empty white space was a piece of toast. Gluten free toast that is. Sound Experience: I always appreciate sound projects. As a filmmaker and editor, there is nothing worse than trying to clean up bad sound... or have unusable sound!!! Sound Design can only hide so much. During my foley experience, I really enjoyed using random objects in my house to create super creepy sounds. The slash of a butterknife on a metal footstool sounded like something out of Halloween! I gravitated towards metal objects because I really enjoyed the variety of sounds I could make simply by turning a mixing bowl upside down. I also used a plastic container and rapidly rubbed the edges on the rug, creating the sound of helicopter propellors! My dog walking down the stairs, barking, licking, whatever that child is doing, is my daily atmospheric sound. Mocha has a range of barks and growls (not mean growls, just a hint she needs to potty or wants to eat). I love listening to the sounds she makes when she has her nighttime snack, ofter a carrot stick. I probably have twenty videos of this entertainment. The crunching paired with the way she chews is priceless. It's amazing how much joy a simple sound can create. Would it be considered synethesia if I associated crunching with orange? What would Belazs say?

Meg's Presentation - Martha Colburn and Kelly Gallagher

I am grateful to Shannon for assigning me these two incredibly artists who have inspired me ever since I watch a minute of each of their films. The complexity of their work and devotion to ensuring a stellar product is something I have great respect for. I had a great mentor who would always say, "you can't rush art". I love that Colburn sometimes spends years on her projects and am in awe of her work in progress of the 52 minute stop motion animation, The Garden. After finding out Colburn was Gallagher's mentor, the commonalities fell into place. Gallagher did not create works mimicking those of Colburn, but used a lot of the same techniques. Since Colburn is 15 years older, Gallagher had the privilege of working with another strong female who had trailblazed this path. Kelly was blessed to have a mentor who had already figured out most of what works and what doesn't, so she had an advantage in stepping into this genre without having to do a plethora of tests. ...

Joseph's Presentation - Nam Jun Paik & Aaron Koblin

I had not heard of either of these artists befor this presentation, but suppose that is the purpose! Nam June Paik is extremely interesting and unique to his art because it's base is complicated technology I could never understand! The K-95 Robot Synthesizer was unreal and appeared very expensive, although it was mentioned it was not at the time. My favorite of his shown works was the Black Box museum installations. The vast number of television screens creating different images flowing throughout as time passed is not just art, it's an experience... and one I'd like to have!!

Final Project Plans - Choose your own Adventure #5

Meg Lansaw Final Project: Adventure #5 Surrealist Stop Motion Animation Research: Martha Coburn and Kelly Galliger are my assigned artists for my presentation and they create stop motion animation, so I will definitely drawn inspiration from them. I also plan to research tutorials online the best way to technically accomplish this film. I will be experimenting with several phone apps designed specifically for stop motion, Description: Arrow is a stop motion animation about a feral dog surviving in a landfill as he awaits his forever home. The set is a shoe box sized landfill comprised of items my previous dog destroyed, as well as trash accumulated from the project. The dog is made from a flexible plastic-coated wire my old dog ripped out of a cat toy. Adjustable toy bulldozers and construction workers will doze in the background, and aluminum birds will litter the top of the frame. Trains and planes will pass by in the background with a backdrop o...
