Moon Dance

As my final video and sound clip, I choose to edit my images that I took when capturing a full moon a couple of weeks ago. I looked at the images and the sound and found a correlation between the two completely different topics, that is almost similar to night and day. Check it out.

By the Moonlight

During a recent full moon, I went out to capture pictures of the gorgeous full moon. However, since it was windy out, I was unable to successfully hold my camera still. The result was a pattern of lightened streaks captured with my camera. Take a look!

Patriotism

After recent events at Virgina Tech, I pondered what patriotism actually meant to us and how we have displayed it during this time. Throughout my trek, I looked for sounds and images of patriotism and complied it all into a video.

Clickity-Clack

When recently walking through the UW-Milwaukee Union, I heard an intersting loud clack made by a pair of high heels. I started to wonder why certain shoes create creatin noises and how we can break that norm.

Rain Drops

As I continued my trek, the weather turned on me and started to rain. But, instead of fleeing like others, I found some interesting image clips that the rain produced within a short amount of time and paired it with other sorts of rain-like sounds.

Circle

This clip was an idea that was formed from my second trek editing session. I thought it wouls be interesting to see different things in a fluent motion that would symbolize flow of daily life. After awhile, I noticed a relation between circles and motion.

Draft Production Strategy

a) I plan on making a large trek recording on the main courtyard behind the UW-Milwaukee union and in front of the Golda Meir Library.
b) By using light and dark images, I can create a certain dynamic between day and night that could possibly be a theme in my project. I could also use light and dark images to set certain moods or tones for my piece.
c) Sound will be easy to capture in the courtyard, especially if its during lunchtime when there are a lot of people walking by, skateboarding, or just talking. All of that different interaction will create an interesting recording.

Curiosity # 3

Curiosity--> How can my third trek project influence or effect the people who read my blog?

Plausible Clause--> I hope too successfully show how I had once experienced the world through the eyes of filmmaking. The reader will be able to engage in my experiences and collected thoughts in order to explore parts of the world in which they are unable to physically see.

Curiosity # 2

Curiosity--> Will the weather generate a difference in what I record on my next trek?

Plausible Cause--> If the weather during this next week is constant, then I should have consistency in images and sound. However, the difference in weather may produce a different outcome in how I experience the world. For instance, if its nice out, then people will be outside and I may use some footage of people in my project. But, if its cold outside, I may have a more nature based project.

Curiosity #1

Curiosity--> What sort of people live in the houses along Kenwood Blvd?

Plausible Cause--> When walking past these homes, I notice that some are incredibly nice houses and I can't help but wonder who lives in these houses and what are they like. They could be families or maybe even students, considering its close to the UW-Milwaukee campus. Perhaps they are professors who have families and who live close to their work.

A Recalled Place

Wading my way through the thick, white powder I trudged to the rim of the snow to the large rocks before taking a rest. And there they were. On this chilled Sunday afternoon, they glided on the surface of the lake, untouched by the traffic noise a ways behind me. At this moment, sitting on a cold rock, nose red from the bitter winter air, and feet cold as ice, I felt at ease. I waited and listened. After watching the birds out on the lake, I realized that they only did two things, dive deep into Lake Michigan in hopes of finding food or briskly swim to keep together with their clan. Hundreds and hundreds of birds, swimming and fishing, only produced a light sound of them splashing their feathers, trying to dry off. It was almost a faint hum against the sound of the waves drifting into the rocky shoreline. How is it, at this very time, these birds could live together like humans would and yet, have a sense of genuine, uncorrupt peace?
