Tap – It was a tap filling a clear container full of water till it reached the top then drains diagonally. I think it’s meant to jolt casual TV audiences back to reality.

Turbulent – Shirin Neshat (I responded to turbulent. I liked it as I’m a fan of cultural things such and singing, music, architecture, and outfits. There are opposites such as, colour, background, sex, music.

Dance brief

Sadly I was not here for the Dance video briefing due illness, however I asked people what happened, what sort of films we looked at and the general idea for what was to be produced from the dance film.

Apparently we looked at some interesting dance videos to help us understand what sort of dance there is and what kind we'll be looking at specifically.

Le P'tit Bal - Philippe Decoufle (1994)

 

Woman (Reading) - La Dispute

Ghostcatching - Paul Kaiser/Shelley Eshkan/Bill T Jones (1999)

Husk - Eiko and Koma (1997)

Channel/Inserts - Merce Cunningham (1982)

Brief!

My brief was to memorialise something for the future in 3 different ways and anyway I like.

So over the holiday's I went up to Norfolk to meet a couple of friends and made more while I was there, GREAT! But I became stuck with this task as I didn't have all of my equipment ready at hand, it was all at home. However, my love for the game Skyrim brought me to make this the way it is.

Just as brief for people who haven't played Skyrim or don't know of it:

Basically it's a game that features a giant area for you to explore at you own accord and is set around the time of swords and shields in a Nordic fashion.
