More and more editing. Has been Methodical and slow but enjoyable.
Contemporary influences in terms of editing and practice had been missing from earlier research. Having time to digest the material i have seen over the past month, i wanted to experiment. From Chris Cunningham and Pfadphinderi, to Japanese minimalist Ryoji Ikeda, pushing and experimenting with editing was a whole lot more inspired.
The video has taken turns away from the original concept, however their essence i believe is still present in more abstract ways (Colour theory). Contemporary practitioners have opened my eyes to a whole new way of audio/visual content.
Its influence is obvious and naive. As was the original concept. Allowing the ideas to develop has happened naturally, due to a demand of what felt right for the film. The idea of tranquility is still there in the colour theme, the stylization of the film still has its essence in Decadence and prosperity (Vice).
The ASCII projector was perfect for abstract filtering and was a great tool. I feel that if used with tact and subtlety it can add whole new dynamics to visual aesthetics. I attempted to use it sparingly but got carried away. I think it has a bit to much presence. (opacity/contrast)
With the film Being finished visually, the audio has come as a complete reaction to this. The visual had to come before the sound for the syncopation.
The video will be played at 87 BPM.
The John Cage composition methods were abandoned because of a need to syncopate digitally the A/V.
