So, how on earth did this mess of a video happen? I'm a little confused, myself.

This is only my second video, and I had intended on doing a rendition of "The Final Poem (Through the Looking GLass)", but along the way... it became a bit too dark and I felt it didn't fit with what I had envisioned. So, I let that go, and went in the direction I felt like going in. Which, I have to say, was one hell of a pain in the ass, but kind of that dull pain that sort of feels good. I just wish my computer did not crash every 10 mins, because I so could have used the sleep.

And, thus, the video was born. I don't have much of an idea as to what it's supposed to express, but a child's conception of blah blah blah sounded good enough. It needs a name to define itself from all your wonderful RECords.

I hope someone can do something with it, it feels a little unfinished to me, and I'm a bit pissed off that the marks were off as they were not before the birthing of my creation into existence. Shucks!

Anyways, Voila! Enjoy. . . or not.

Update: I remember now what the intent of the video was, after watching the comparative tests video listed below, I felt saddened for the child and wondered what sort of memories that child would have, thoughts and feelings and tried to translate them above. There.
Thanks.

... with Fortune and men's eyes,

I'm not entirely satisfied with this, I know it can be MUCH better. But I did finish it all rather quickly, I needed to get it done! I was also hoping to use non-archival footage, but... oh well. Once again I go black and white, but that's only for fluidity. I'll try not to, next time... no promises.

Hope someone can mess around with some other stuff and try it out!

I forgot the name of one of my resources but when you download the video it's "Amelisweerd", so thank you! And... sorry!

I was very much inspired by the beginning of "Sans Toi (Je ne peux pas vivre)", and vintage shots of Coney Island, that I decided to do my first video!

I had no real idea of the type of video I was going for; As the music and pieces were clipped, nipped, and shuffled around, I finally got an image. I suppose for me, my thoughts are sometimes like a spiral, they start off wide - far apart and eventually they come closer and closer, faster and faster, ornate and strange... does it all make sense?
No.

But that's how I like it

A quick little stop motion I did in my shower.
Easiest clean-up, imaginable.

My darling niece dancing. Thought it looked good enough to share :)

I'm not entirely pleased with it, as I just knew I had to do something. It needs work, but instead of waiting months to get around to it, I figured it would be best to just go ahead and post it.

I doubt I need to explain what it means : )
