This is my video art project...first let me say wow..I can't believe it all came together(Cat and Sam understand;) I have been a competitive figure skater for most of my life. Now that I have retired from competition and decided to go back and get my degree, I often feel as though I'm a fish out of water and can't express myself the way I used to in my sport. This class has helped me find a new sense of creativity and I'm so glad I was able to combine my skating and art for my final project.
The first camera angle is taken from my skate. I used masking tape to keep my camera attached..which was a little bit of a challenge and most of my friends thought I was crazy! The second camera angle is being filmed by one of my students,Aidyn Gangemi. I'm skating the same pattern on the ice that I did when the camera was attached to my skate in order to try and duplicate what my blades see and what the audience would see. Also, I used Garage Band to create a special soundtrack for the background which I had never done before. I hope you enjoy it!!
I really liked your video art. I loved how you filmed from two completely different angles. The four frames was also a great idea and the project came together really well.
ReplyDeleteI think that you taping your camera to the skate was a very brave and interesting idea. I would have been terrified that the camera would have gone flying off. Especially with all of those cool spin moves that you were doing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept behind your video with the view from the skate and then the view from afar with the same moves. I think it came out really cool, and I like that you used something you love to do in your video. Great job!
