Final Project

I had 2 choices that I really liked for my project which were the swim montage video, and the animating a painting. In discussion we threw around new ways to do that painting, but I'm not sure how much time I would have to do it if I filmed myself actually painting one of his works, and I think it would take from the concept I initially had, so I started doing the swimming project over the weekend. This is going to a be a video, that has re-edits, and is like the montage project because I;m trying to portray the emotions that someone feels from either watching swimming, or being the swimmer before and during the race.

My plan:

I already got together videos of you tube that I imported to iMovie and started to take apart

During this week I am going to look for music that I think will build up energy, and nervousness

I have video from when I swam on a tape at home, which I was thinking I could somehow convert and maybe incorporate it into my video, so I'm going to bring that home after Thanksgiving and see what I can do with that.

I am organizing my video now, it starts off with showing the swimmers before the race, then goes into the start, then the races, and after them. I broke up the before and the starts from the videos I have, I just need to place them together and make it flow better, which I will do over break.

Then when we come back just work on taking out the things I don't need and improving how the music fits with what's playing.

Animating a Painting

"Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically." - Wassily Kandinsky

Put together one of his paintings using photoshop and imovie, to the beat of music..
