Project 1. Inspiration

This video doesn't directly relate to stop-motion, but I feel that it's a really well-done video. The commercial-type video would be interesting on its own without sound because of the explorative use of framing and how some elements like the painted hallway make it surreal. However, I feel like the sound really lends to the mood. The incoherent speech and the women going down the hall exclaiming, "Oh my god!" add a sense of humour to the video that is very well thought out.

Project 1. Inspiration

I haven't thought of a concrete concept yet. I am thinking of doing a collage stop-motion video, but I'm really not sure if I can make one to the level of the one shown in class. However, I definitely want to explore stop-motion. I first saw this video a year or two ago and it is without a doubt one of the best stop-motion videos I have ever seen.

Story-telling

This video doesn't completely connect to the course, but I found it really interesting. It sort of explores telling a story in a new way and how different perspectives can change the story. Despite the story getting a little out-of-hand near the end, perspective is something I would be interested in exploring.

Time Lapse Inspiration

I think my interest in any form of motion and video related art was first sparked when I watched The Virgin Suicides in high school. I was intrigued by Sofia Coppola's use of time lapses in the film to portray the passing of time because of how it further emphasized that time was a significant aspect of the film. The time lapse exercise I created with Justin really reminded me of this original inspiration because with the exercise, we observed the subtle changes in a particular space within a considerably short amount of time.
