Grander GooooooaaaaaaLLLLs

Beeman,

This semester I decide to challenge myself, nothing I make this semester will look like it should be on youtube.

I was asked, Why do you have a glitch looking aesthetic. Its not really a full glitch aesthetic like tim and eric.



Well I guess Its because thats what I saw when I was growing up. The first real short that clicked with me was this short called "Blue Shorts." It was a short that a friend made in high school while I was still in Junior High. This video resignated with me because it was the ultimate forum for expression, video that is. This freedom was developed later when I got drafted in to some of Derrick Sims projects at NWAAFA. We learned some cool shit. Sims eventually moved to Hollywood and became what he wants to become. Which is still happening. Here is his latest Film.



This last summer I questioned my self, why have not made something that I enjoy watching over and over again? Im not sure if I am thinking about it any differently but I must say that I have a better plan this year. Jill Wissmiller, Sims, and Ian Gillham (Blue Shorts) made me realize that I need to make the films I want to see. This semester I will use Dynamic Imaging two as an oppertunity to develope my aesthetic and work on a grander narrative. Digital Cinmea Three will be a chance to develop my techniques and practices for the Narrative. I want to create work that is substantual without being dry. That is my challenge. I am making good progress. I have a script. It needs work, but atleast it is finished and on paper. I look forward to critque on wednesday.

This made my day,
