A short tour to the industrial area in Plymouth led us to this dead train track.

Finally we finished the english subtitles to show the event film to an international audience. Thank you Samuel!
To get used to the Nikon F4s of my sister, I made some pictures down at Whitsand Bay. As i didn’t know how the light meter works at the first time, I had to use another digital camera to measure the light.
We were expected to visualise sound. Therefore we created our own scores. I was trying to transform bird’s twittering on a keypad of a mobile.
MEDI 117 Experimental project about Evolution
As Evolution is a very broad theme I deliberately wanted to reduce it in my piece of work as much as possible by focusing on a simple idea. My Idea was to create a loop between 10 and 20 seconds which should visualise the theme Evolution without telling a story. As Evolution has a wavelike nature, meaning it requires an evolving (rising) and a following destroying (falling) process for the transmission of patrimony, I decided to take up this sinusoidal half-wave structure into my audiovisual composition. The main aim of my project was to show that Evolution is not just a matter of genetic inheritance, it is also a constantly ongoing process which occures in mankind’s every day life. I also wanted to explore how we adapt to our surroundings in different situations and under different physical circumstances. MEDI 111 Sound and Image
The task of this module was to make a creative, short video in small groups. The main aim was to get used to the provided equipment and the editing process. Our Group (Christoph Jehle, Simon Maurer and I) decited to create a playful soundclip which we named “Swissguys got the beat” For our work we generally didn’t want to plan the sounds in advance for creating music, but rather just to compile a big assortment of noises. The image of the short film was playing a secondary role and was thou very minimalistic, which means that we’ve just used one frontal perspective, because we knew that we basically will work with hundreds of very short cuts and if we used more than one shot the viewer wouldn’t understand what it is about. For creating the music clip, we used three typical soundtracks of the genres Hip-Hop, Reggea and Techno as our master songs which we put in the timeline to adapt our sound samples of each of the relative characters. So that means that we had to work very precisely to archieve the specific beat of the three chosen music genres. After adapting the sound samples we could remove the soundtrack. The clip’s got a duration of 3 minutes and contains 628 cuts. Photography
The first module in this term (MEDI259) just began with an introduction about John Cage and his piece “4′33″ which was performed for the first time in 1952. He is seen as one of the key pioneers of modern music and was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. The first few weeks we’re going to deal with Sound Design and Sonic Art. We’ve just finished the event film about the annual cultural festival Pod’Ring occurring one week in Biel (Switzerland). After editing 27 hours of footage, we’re now adding english subtitles to get some feedbacks of our Uni tutors. The film has got a durration of 13 minutes and it aims to mediate the unique athmosphere of this week while exploring the background of the different departments such as organisation and structure. It also contains several impressions of the environment, concerts and the audience. To be continued… Hi everybody, |
