This is a test. This is only a test.

10 Week Plan

Project one - Have video digitized and solidified idea in mind by this weekend. Begin preliminary editing by Monday April 17th, and continue through the week, leaving the weekend for troubleshooting and finishing touches. Will probably do most of the sound work on saturday the 15th. Will be working with the movie 28 Days Later.

Project two - So far I am planning on an installation piece that will require a small lcd screen to be placed inside of a hole in a wall (or similar place close to the ground) the idea being that this will be the home of a mouse, and playing on the lcd will be a tiny mouse going about his business. I am planning on filming a real mouse, for an extended period of time and either editing it or taking just a chunk of the film and running it without interruptions. If this turns out to be interesting I may decide to use it for my 3rd project. In which case I have another idea for my installation. I wanted to take a tom and jerry cartoon, use two projectors, one projecting the cat and one the mouse on two adjacent walls, and edit so that the cat or mouse leave their own wall and enter the other's space but you cannot see the action inbetween.

Project Three - Not so sure. I was contemplating something with text and still images or very slow moving images. Possibly have the words appear letter by letter so you think you know what word is about to come up and then ultimately having the word be different that what the viewer thought it would be. Or a bunch of images with one word per image that ultimately make a sentence but have the images and words move so fast at first that you can't tell what they are and eventually slow them down revealing the message. But I'm having a little trouble with the idea of miniture or small screen output.
