360 Experience

This was a really interesting experience I had a lot of fun with this project. I like that it wasn't as in-depth as most film projects it was kind of just a lot of practicing to get it to be one minute and choreographed. I had never seen a 360 camera before and haven't used those VR goggles at all yet so that was also an interesting part. The majority of my work came in the editing which was honestly just fun to mess around with because I didn't know how things would look such as titles so I had fun just moving things around. It was also majorly difficult to edit sound to multiple different scenes and I'd be curious to see how someone else does it.

Rough Theatre

This article brings up a lot of interesting points about how theatre needs "dirt" in order to properly function, adding the imperfect, human characteristic of art. Mostly this article made me think of, when I was younger, my dad would listen to a lot of Sonic Youth (even going through home videos there was a solid 10 minutes where my dad had just filmed shadows of trees with just the sound of feedback in the background). Feedback is generally a "mistake" that has been flipped and actually used to aid songs in certain circumstances (the "dirt").

My rough theater lately has been the app "1 second everyday". I've used it for a few years but basically you take videos everyday and choose 1 second and it cuts it together so you get a quick snapshot of your year. There's no glitz or glamor and it doesn't take all that much effort it just encourages me to take a video of anything each day that way there's kind of a cool end product that serves as a memory keepsake. It's quick and imperfect but serves its purpose and is an entertaining thing to revisit with friends.
