I’ve been focussing way more of my creative energy on still photography since moving back from LA, but it’s short films like these that stir up my creative filmic muscle memory and make me want to shoot more moving images. Maybe it’s time for a Canon 5d…
All the videos are now up from the talks at Interesting Vancouver 2008. I have two comments on my video:
1. Why didn’t anyone tell me I talked with my hands so much?
2. I swear people in the audience were laughing at my jokes, even if they were courtesy laughs.
def. Combining media memes together to form a new memetic piece of media
This is an experimental work where I combine three versions of the song Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales with the advertising meme of the bouncing Sony balls intercut with characters from Halo 3 repeating the same movements.
Will we ever get to a point where we’ll be used to reading media this way?
Thanks to everyone who came out to Interesting Vancouver tonight. A sold out venue is a great sign that Vancouver has an appetite for more of these types of events.
I’ll be posting links to the references that I spoke about on my academic blog I Am User Generated.
I’m super honored to be among the speakers listed at Interesting Vancouver. This is an unconference that brings speakers together from all walks of life just to share something interesting about their passions. The list includes, authors, planners, engineers and, ah, me. I hope I can live up to the bio that organizer Brett MacFarlane has crafted for me. Blush… I think there is still some tickets if you’re up for an interesting cultural event in a beautiful location. See you there.
