Video Project 2 (6-1)
I wasn't quite happy with my original video, so I decided to do a bit more exploring. I wanted to do something with all the short videos I had filmed on my phone since first buying it in 2011. I liked the fact that all of these videos, when put together, formed an interesting picture of the year. Then I found Cesar Kuriyama's TED talk on his One Second Every Day film and app development. I decided I would take this concept and run with it. I took all of the video clips I had accumulated throughout the years, edited them to 1 second each, and made a series of short films, one for each year from 2011 onwards. Eventually I want to go through my old family videos and make a short film for every year of my childhood. There might be a few years missing, but it would be great to end up with a record of my life made up of whatever random moments someone chose to have a camera on.

Wow! This is an awesome idea...it reminds me of the one picture a day but video really takes it to the next level, the incorporation of sound with image. I wonder if this would be a good lesson plan for the classroom, perhaps a summer assignment?
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting take on video, and how one second can represent a picture, or snapshot in time. I am sure it was difficult choosing just one second of a video to share. This project can force the artist to recognize what they value the most out of their experiences over time. I agree with Stephanie that this could be a great assignment for students to go back in time with their own videos and assess which seconds are the most important to capture a theme of a year. This could be a great tool for reflection of growth and value for students.
