weekly drawing

These are 3 stills from a movie I just made. I'm trying to show the warm color shifts and the sensation that occurs when you close your eyes and face the sun. With less focus, the sensation can be like a color field, but it gets obstructed by objects moving in front of you causing shadows, etc. It was a first attempt at capturing this effect.

Lesley Vance

Lesley Vance is an artist from Los Angeles, and I've included two of her paintings, "Untitled 5" and "Untitled 10". These paintings instantly reminded me of abstracted Baroque scenes, with the diagonal cuts across the canvas and intense contrast between dark and light.

weekly drawing

this is the "sketch" I made when working on my video for this week's crit. Instead of 4 small videos I decided on having one "longer" one, don't worry, it's still short. I just felt like it would be more powerful on its own rather than having one good one and several not so good ones. Anyways, this is one of the not so good ones. If you're a fan of Ed Wood or still shots of campfire rocks, you might like it.
I'm using audio clips of Native American languages (the one in this video is a translation of the lord's prayer, yay imperialism!) and juxtaposing them with other stuff that relates to the current state of Native affairs. This vid's kind of silly, Tarantino revenge-fantasy themed, Tuco's giving his "if you double cross me you better make sure i'm dead" quip, which in my mind goes with the idea of a Native revenge fantasy.
The one for wednesday's much better! Now I just have become Ed Wood completely.
