Crits ^^

Well i was in the first batch of critiques Tues 2-6pm and the group I was with was very quiet because there was so much stuff to look at!  Unfortunately I was not able to show the film that Ramona and I had worked on because I have now learned the hard way that a film set in HDV mode has a harder time burning onto a DVD, so trying to solve the problem of how to present it.  The main feedback from my critique group was that despite the clutter of our collaboration they could still see and feel 3 individual energies and that our unity during process is not showing as strongly through presentation.  Hopefully we can figure something out here. over and out.

It comes to an end

Well i have really enjoyed this project so far, working with Emily and Marcy has been fun. We have really got some good ideas going at the end, but I always find that with a project, time pressure gives me inspiration and also by 6 weeks you are only just getting started.

Im enjoying our space as well, by creating a room we are creating a physical space for our work to collaborate compared to being alone.

Well ive forgotten what i had to say for now so will write again
ciao

FLOUR! EVERYWHERE!

yes. flour is up me nose right now, marcy, ramona and i were able to do our performing arts pieces; we put on short shorts and attempted a major workout with great photos to prove, and i was able to convince ramona and marcy to become ancient greek ... hehe covered with flour to chuck tea at a wall, all a success today i say! i will now attempt to upload photos with my new privledges! thanks ramona!

Hi Emily, i have been able to grant you admin privilleges (my spellin gis getting worse & worse)

any hoot means you can add slideshow and all that but its a misson. I have downloaded picassa to upload photos to it.

Will do more tonight

hasta luego

amigo

see you in your little shorts tommorow!

where we're at...

Today was hoping to do some filming on our "exercise video for Elam students", but unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances we are not able to make this work by film, but hopefully take photos and I have prepared two A2 pages of exercises we could do if we actually got off our asses and did some, which was the point in the beginning. 

So will present this work as an idea.

Looking at presentation strategies I feel i am on the right track by trying things out and having a look to see if it works for me.

Its been very hard to get some decent digital photos printed out as my experience with photo shops has been non existent, im looking for the glossy outcome but not pixilated and too dark, Seems photo shops aren't what they used to be, when you couldn't sell a photo if it was crap.

Well heres hoping I get wat im after and learn how to spell 

Very excited!

I am excited about the following:

creating a chaotic collection, mess, (perhaps? maybe? or are we isolating everything...? slightly confused about that) like this one by Jason Rhoades,

getting my ass kicked at our art boot camp next week,

seeing the next beautiful creations from Marcy,

seeing the shots Ramona's going to experiment with the awesome elam camera,

seeing how my idea for performing arts will work, hint; making tea...muhahahaha

New Ideas

Today we had class and Marcy, Emily & I worked on our Karkhana pictures by working together and each person having 5 minutes to work on a piece then swapping to the next person and working round in a circle. It worked pretty well, but you have to be in the mood we decided to draw good work.

Marcy  has a new idea to make as many different ideas as possible and put them into containers to pick out ideas as an art piece.

We are also going to do some performance worked based on the fact that not many art students get any excercise ( im speaking for myself here)

stay tuned
