today was another meeting with supervisor.
i made 3 new videos and had been re-working the other 6.
for my final presentation, i have 9 videos.
he really liked the video where i was painting my hand white.
haha. so easy to please.
BUT
it was not easy to come up with simple videos that star the hand.
it seems easy though.
i think, if my parents saw my videos, they would be like "....... what. is. this.".
because, quite frankly, they are ridiculous. a brunch of slo-mo videos about nothing in particular.
a hand moving across a corrugated wall. in a glove. struggling with red thread.
quite abstract. definitely not useful for anyone.
i think my videos are lame. and stupid. (not really, but kinda. #humblespeak)
but i am proud of them.
because i made art. even if it is silly, it is my art.
it is my creation that is unique in itself.
and it has strength because it was born out of my time here.
something from nothing.
even if it's weird shit.
also, i made it look nice with FinalCutPro.
that's right, i learnt how to use video editing effects sparingly and effectively.
i can make things that look like modern album covers.
of course, my supervisor has to be credited with the idea of unifying the 3 walls of video with the pattern of shapes. and selecting the anchoring videos.
his advice has certainly helped. even though he pooh-poohed my music selection of an instrumental, and cringed at my lamb-heart video.
and it is also ironic that i am making videos for my degree now, since i used to watch videos all day in my room.
while i don't have breath-taking videos (see Lucy McRae), at least my videos are a lot fancier than last semester, when i only knew how making clips using iMovie and material from the Internet.
........it will be sad when this is all over and i go back to being a lazy slob that just watches videos all day.
perhaps i will do something to change that. highly unlikely though.
