Video Project original sound

Please watch second version if we have time also.


OK, so for my video art project i wanted to do something of a psychological thriller where you aren't sure if i am real or a ghost or a figment of reeds imagination, or if reed is just having a breakdown. In this version i made it mostly silent with only a few key sound bits  as it is all supposed to be strange and haunting.
In the second version reed and i were playing around and he added the song to it and it ended up matching up perfectly somehow with every action, if i was able to go further with this project i would want it to be more like the second one because i feel it has a bigger impact.

 

^ kindof my inspiration

Hatsune Miku and how i hate anime.

So the idea of a Vocaloid is very interesting because it takes even entertainment industry jobs out of the hands of real live people, and creates an inanimate object to be desired by people. My problem with this, and honestly all anime as an art form, is the unrealistic proportions that make these characters desireable, to me, Anime is little more than cartoonized porn, and while i do understand that people that enjoy it could try and argue otherwise, i have zero respect for it. Big eyes, long legs short skirts and unrealistic proportions are created to form a character people want to be. The problem is, no matter how hard people try to be the character in cosplay, they are never going to be able to perfectly achieve the roleplay-esque man-trophy look of the characters. i like real people and real looks, i like dirt and blood and scrapes and uneven eyebrows, women who are unrefined and people who make mistakes. Quinton Tarentino represents reality more accurately in his archeatypes than any kind of anime. Anime is too much of just people living in a fantasy world for my taste, a world where singers are perfect drawings, and voices are completely generated. i support human error.

scopitones videos now and then!

Scopitones was cool because it really illustrated the postmodern crisis in all of the covers i never even knew about such as this one.

Propaganda vs. Advertising

First let me post the definition of each word for your viewer needs.:

Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position by presenting only one side of an argument

Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage or persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action

As you can read from the definition they are very similar and yet propaganda seems to have a negative assosciation with it while advertising is just a part of ur everyday lives. In my opinion advertising can sometimes be like propaganda as it is selling something without showing the side f its competition but advertising is usually considered less harmful because it is selling a product instead of an idea. Sometimes advertising crosses the line into propaganda when it is selling an image or idea along with the product, like in the video we watched in class about us being the product of television, advertising can be a way of selling social norms to a public subtly, this is a form of brainwashing as much as propaganda speeches are.This is dangerous. A society that is uninformed about all of the sides of adervtisements and images and products, can be easily swayed into being emotionally attached to something false.

eva and adele and flash mobs

Eva and adele like to say t hat they invented their own sex. They are a couple who has used plastic surgery makeup and clothing to become more or less the same person. They also enjoy claiming to be from the future.Eva still has her man parts but won to have her sex changed to female because that is who she feels she is on the inside. The couple has been together 22 years. I like that they are absurd, but i dislike how into their own image they are. They are shameless self promoters, because they have to be t make money, but its less respectable than an artist who is strange as hell trying to be normal and still pulling through as themself anyway, like man ray.

As for flash mobs, i love them. I would love to be apart of one like the freeze one because i can't dance, but i liked this one alot it was so upbeat and happy i couldn't help but smile too. what a cool thing.
