woo yyaaa midterrm tomorroooww...
so..midterm tomorrow...
i think its a good time to do some catch up blogging eh?
(bout damn time i know)
allllllrighty then
im dishin' it ouuut and going waayy back
lets start with So Is This
im not going to lie, i zonked out for like 2 minutes..but i couldnt help myself..its not because i wanted to just that i dont think its physically possible to..black screen....dark room..slience..*eyes get droopy* flashing letters...ttireereedd *passes out on keyboard*
but if youll believe me i thought it was pretty interesting and funny. usually when i felt my eyes getting a little heavy something like CUNT would pop on the screen and it would wake me up.
its amazing how words can be so loud without any sound.....
alllright..Variations.
i remember Carl describing Dorsky as a "collector of images" who kept a "diary of the world around him" after reviewing my notes and seeing this i automatically thought of D'est. i think these two films have a lot in common especially because of the "see it as if it were the first time" idea that was brought up in discussion. one of the big differences though is that D'est seemed to get more (up close and) personal with people which made it so much more dramatic and/or intriguing (with a big help from the sound making it so real as if you were there); yet with Variations he made it just as dramatic with leaving these factors out and left us with an image with no distractions. Dorsky shot it at 18fps to open the images up to us even more and allow us to look at these everyday images with new eyes.
here are some images that jotted down..(random thoughts included)
- two dogs: one smaller dog very poise and dainty tied down somewhere in the city. he sees something thats getting him excited. a closeup of an older dog with sad eyes. these images along with one other are the only images that recognize the camera
-plastic bag: its amazing how the camera is able to follow and flow with the bag and its movement
-man staring back at the camera: i had a weird connection with this image. he had really intense, sad eyes
-bug on the water hose while water is flowing: i kept waiting for the bug to be taken away by the water
-children playing at the lake: i like how this was image was shot from their point of view ie we only saw up to the adults knees
-the female foot (red shoe) stepping: this was a very quick shot but i like how he focused on the roll of the foot but doesnt allow it to follow through to a complete step
chachachhhha
NEXT!
Wot the Ancient Sod
did anyone else see faces in the leaves?
*shrugs*
Market Street
this is pretty much amazing. i couldnt help but asking myself "how the hell did he do that?" throughout the entire screening. i especially like the night lights at the end..and
not that it really needs it but i almost feel like i would have enjoyed it even more if he included a crazy of city noises or the noises that were present during the filming (unless he was going for the whole Dorsky thing...)
i think i need some popcorn...
