kind of tuf

seems kind of redundant to have four different blogs, it is like having 4 slightly different notebooks, that kind of collapse into each other, overlay and underlay, hmm, come to think of it that is exactly what animators do, smushing together random scenes and random noises within the time-based medium, even the ones who pretend to do it extremely orderly and non-disorganized, @ least i fess up to my x-tremely disorganised state: chaos as mo

aftermath # 1.wmv

hmm

where 2 go

am kind of overwhelmed with posting on all these blogs, 2 this pont it becomes totally disorganized and managing 4 blogs, one you tube "station becomes so totally disorganized and then there are all the videos that i posted on facebook, this is so utterly cybercluttered, i have 2 go 4 a walk, fresh air, fresh air!!!!!!!

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU

fragmentation number 21

so i am sitting here in this so veri chilli animationlab trying 2 figure out adobe premiere, i guess after all this thyme i might forge miself somehow in2 this annoying editing-software world, well @ least i can upload stuff, wqish everithing was that easi

part of grad project, moments in the animationlab

sad vancouverstori

well, the title says it all, we are exploring here the existential angst of the not so utterli successful filmmaker

fragmentation reversed

fragmentation or something else # 7

well, @ least the title is artsy-fartsy, though i might call it "disjointed", "disjunkteed", something like that. it is 2:09. sitting here in the painting studio, the computer here is the best i've ever seen, fast as lite, woww, outside the sun is shining, pretty good 4 late oktoba

is this art

yep, a-r-t

fragmentation or something else

sitting here in this chilly animationlab, all by myself, uploading stuff, going insane, ever so slowly

downtowne take 1

hopefully this will get thru, i am realli tired, i am in this place since morning, it is dinnertime now, then again would be good 2 loose wait, thus it becomes obvious animation is good 4 health

just randomlychopping this movi 2gether, have no clue how this software works, or ani software 4 dat matta

i haven't posted on this blog in ages, sometimes i upload an animation, but basically i do not really do any research into this animationstuff. am still in school though and try to absorb as much info as i can. working on the gradproject. doesnt really go anywhere. oh well, thats life

this logsoftware has a mind of its own or could it be that the prob lies with the user, the draft has a lot of insightful thoughts, but beats me how 2 retrieve it to publshing mode

i can just see time stand still. while this is uploading

winter and other stuff

i experiment with different musics and sequences, am in ubc, so part of the stuff is at home, wonder, if musics is a word, it is very without people here, deserted, huh , all the computers are here for the taking, well, 4 the using, anyhoo, this went thru, i guess

end of winterfilme

trying 2 organize

this week i am kind of trying 2 organize all these little pieces of the winterfilm, but it gets kind of utterly confusing and i have 2 derive a system to stay on top of things, at this time i just mush it randomly together and try to give coherence with music, but the prob with music is, like always, copyrightissues and i have , in the end, make it sans audio and thus x-tremely short, because without audio the viewer just walks off, and even if they are confined within a theater, they shut off mentally, at least that is what i would do , so i guess others deo the same.

technology

am sitting here and trying to figure out how the "you tube" interface works and how i can send animations from the blog to utube, how i can push a button to automatically increase the number of views, i guess it is called "viral" something , my head feels like exploding and i am chained to my computer here, outside there is fresh air or so i have heard, waiting to know if i have 2 go back to ontario, this is definately pissing me off, just the thought of sitting in one place 4 hours on end, so if i will go with a massive coronary, these are my last words

derrida and other stuff

i simultaneously posted stuff on the other blog, which was kind of a mistake, but, anyhoo, as i said on the other post, i will look more in detail into this book about derrida and computerlingo

animationtheory 101

Animationtheory is still in its infancy and borrows heavily from the more established field of film theory or so it seems. In my mind, time-based medium is time-based medium and animation and film do not differ in the way the viewer experiences it, because it is totally irrelevant whether the film is documenting the real world, so to speak or is constructed frame by frame. A film will always be a sequence of images that we will look at and perception of vision is what makes those images come to "life" and create the "illusion" of still images moving rapidly. In other words, us looking at image after image creates the motion in our mind, so the experience of the film is basically inside the mind of the viewer, the time-based medium is merely a vehicle to create and recreate the "vision", the "experience" of the viewer.
What fascinates me, is the similarities and dissimilarities of the different time-based media, be it music, theater, film, literature etc. in my mind there is obviously a very strong correlation between time-based media and static 3-dimensional objects, because in the case of time-based media the viewer is static and the "motion", the "action" is happening on the "stage", the "screen", the "soundstage", on the paper in the book, whereas in experiencing a 3 dimensional object the individual is either moving through space, through a room, through a building or around an object and thus sees an everchanging image of the same object. If I walk around, say, a cube, the way, I see the cube is changing constantly, i never see the same image, i see the cube from the front, from the top, part of it, one -third of it and so on. Now, if i make an animation of the same cube, i slice the different images i see, into pieces and thus create the illusion of motion.
I have to, obviously, do more research into this matter, because, at this point, i am mushing together and am not very clear, what is going on. I will look at different forms of discussion of 3dimensional space.

giuliana bruno

so yesterday i came upon this book called "public intimacy" BY GIULIANA BRUNO, WHO TEACHES @ harvard and it is published by MIT press. she is a film theorist and her work is about similarities and dissimilarities of architecture and film, kind of like rem koolhaas and bernhard tschumi with "delirious manhattan" and the "manhattan transcripts", except for that she comes from film and they come from architecture. So, when i eventually get into grad school (like in 5000 years from now) i might look more deeply into this, because my letter of intent 4 grad school states clearly that my researchobjective will be animation and architecture, similarities and dissimilarities. when i googled these terms , i guess in google scholar, i came upon someone at the royal college of art, whose thesis deals exactly with that. i have to somehow retrieve the short i did for the "maquettes" course, though i have no idea whatsoever where i put it and maybe dub it on a dvd or a cd and go fromthere. this is all like charting uncharted territory. am kind of pissed off, that i didnt tqake courses this semesterm so i am kind of freeflowing and moving without structure, which i hate, there is no clear path to follow and everything wobbles into each other. the subject is much too broad, which means it has to be disected into much more manageable small pieces. well, at least, i will concentrate on this very preliminary computer course what with rehaching very prosaic tasks like filemanagement etc. first things first. this blog is becoming too convoluted, i use it like a sketchbook filled with halfass ideas.

middle of the nite

feeling really crappy, trying to figure out whether there is an animationfacility here in town, where i can just shoot my films, i am not taking any courses this semester, which might be just fine , anywhoo, should just draw some new stuff and think about making it into sth. later, its kind of late
