CAN WE LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY? CHANGE SPACE, CHANGE TIME, CHANGE...
Dear ALL,

I believe you are going to enter an interesting phase of the workshop this week. I would like to list some video material I find interesting and certainly have potential to be re-worked and used as inspiration and source in the installation you are planning to make.

1. Live camera exercise – Melody and Asgeir
2. Solos – I advise you to reserve the editing suites and select the “best of” (this will certainly depend on CONTENT – will talk about this later).
3. João Shopping Clip – I think if projected smaller, or shown in a TV monitor, the quality will appear better.
4. Willian/Simon/Esra Live/pre-recorded – Nice interaction stage/image. Interesting composition. Needs
5. Solos in the darkness – I would watch carefully the material and go for a tight editing of it. Again, the use of it will depend on the final concept of the installation.
6. Hema video.


CONTENT – I understood Ibrahim will work on concept/content of the installation with you. Personally I find it super important at the stage of this workshop. In order for you to go on, to make choice, to “give reason” to image, sound and body, you will need to make up what this installation is about. In order to produce more images and to make choice in how to use the existing images (if to use them), it will depend on the direction you will go. I find a pity to not be around at this phase of the program, as this is the most interesting part. But my hours to work with you are limited and that is how it could be organized after all.

I will be following the blog. If you have specific questions, please don’t hesitate in contacting me at roberta@xs4all.nl

Please make sure you reserve editing suites when outside the workshop hours. The same for cameras, tripods. For the rest you have access to the workshop equipement in the coming two weeks at the workshop dates and time.

All the best,

Roberta
