First video project: “The Perfect kind of Silence”


While being one of my first video editing experiences, using the software ‘Blurr’ recommended to me by a friend, I think this turned out quite a bit better than I anticipated it would - although I could do well to grow more familiar with some of the software’s features.

The video, being a collection of different locations void of everything but rain, plants and earth and the sounds they make together, is meant to stir a feeling of serenity and provide a different perspective from what we’re used to. While we huddle together in the rain, sharing umbrellas and rushing through muddy dirt to get to our next classes and taking stressful tests, I wanted to zero in a bit more on what one doesn’t usually stop to appreciate. 

The emptiness of an area filled by the music of rain is something more healing than hot chicken soup - at least in my opinion. 


Video can be found on my Canvas submission.

 First post! This will be a class-related blog for the sole purpose of sharing my finished assignments. Here is my first one.

It’s a little funny looking, but I find myself pleased with the result nonetheless.

 Project four - Measuring Histories  For this project, I confronted the topic of my own personal history through childhood struggle - and put it into a canvas where it connects and almost merges into a source of great comfort. The paint: The paint is comprised of fruit punch soda, of which I mixed with multiple different medias to acquire different shades of red and pink. This dually represents the struggle of surviving off nothing but junk food, and the comfort of food or soft drink to combat stress at such a young age. The bear: The teddy bear is the focal point of the artwork. Drawn with pen and gold paint marker, it is supposed to symbolize a concrete thing that sticks no through every struggle no matter what or where it is.. which is also supported by the text above it. Vinyl cutouts of the original soda bottle label are glued to the paper to further connect it’s origin to the fruit punch soda.
