FEEDBACK SESSION

WHAT were your intentions? HOW did you realize them? WHY were you investigating them?

 

What does video reflect?

Video is artificial. I wanted to take something fake and make it feel real

I feel like one of the things that really interests me about video, is its ability to do things specific to the medium, like focus the viewers attention, play with the conventions of its own medium, achieve things not possible in real life or other mediums.

For me video reflects an artificially that often masquerades as reality.

I wanted to look at making purely artificial content (video with no camera input or pre recorded element) appear as naturalistic as possible.

 

The footage was recorded directly from a setup of video equipment including, video synths, video mixers, effects, keyers and other things, and then put into after effects to be moved, blurred and masked to feel more as tho it was a real thing.

 

 

 

 

What did the feedback reveal about your work?

Outline themes, motifs or ideas the feedback suggested for further development.

 

It seemed like my intentions were felt, people found it relaxing and organic. There was interest in the techniques.
