editing this film strip is...um...interesting. it seemed obvious i'd need to throw narrative out the window, but the colors and patterns kind of appear show up with their own legible arc-- one that needs a shaping, though. now it's my task to learn a new literacy.




what's more is i have no idea what i'm doing with imovie, and was hoping to talk some friend into a tutoring exchange but i'm leaving town for family business and won't have time beforehand. i have to leave this thursday night after our class--  yikes! So editing will be all about trial, error, and fiddling with the buttons on that program. and my work space will be all about the airplane. maybe the troposphere environment will end up helping? and i'm sure my self-consciousness regarding the other passengers' potential eyes on my screen will add a new twist, too, but i think i welcome the challenge. in fact, i'm sort of excited about this-- a change of scenery could do the work good. maybe i'll even get some interesting feedback from a flight attendant while he/she charges me $15 for a tiny bag of crackers.

thank you to you both! very kind. i wish i wasn't returning to the bay area a day and a half before the show...may ask you a couple of quick questions in class tomorrow night.

otto, i was born 2 days before halloween. scorpio pride! :)

otto said...

wow...two days before halloween...that is intense...do you have jack-o-lanterns all blended in your head with your birthday? or maybe ghosts and witches...wow....trip on that...

i have always been jealous of people born on 11/11...just the coolest day ever...

hey if you feel like coming to school early tomorrow i could give you a crash course in iMovie and you could videotape it for future reference...

i have to go to school early to do my power point presentation....

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you did with this film script. From what I saw it looked really beautiful.
