Day 27 - What I Didn't See
Here’s my decidedly lo-fi contribution to the 30 Days 30 People 30 Videos project for Navlopomo 2009. This video follows yesterdays collection of rituals rendered in animated gifs by Jennifer Proctor. Next up: Kerry Brogan.
Day 26 - Rituals - Animated GIFs
It’s NaVloPoMo ([Inter]National Vlog Posting Month), and this year, thanks to Rupert, a month-long video-chain has been created in lieu of the traditional post-a-video-a-day-all-month insanity. This year, vloggers were asked to sign up for a particular day during November and, based on the video that came before theirs, make and post something for that day. I chose American Thanksgiving, 26 days into the vlogging festivities. After viewing Trine’s NaVloPoMo video, I started thinking about the rituals we perform to mark moments in time. This Thanksgiving, I didn’t get to see my extended family, and, to my surprise, I found myself particularly missing those traditions that happen year after year. So I decided to document a few little rituals that took place on my holiday: baking, opening the window to the unusually empty street, a long day watching TV specials (this year, a “Band of Brothers†marathon that I only occasionally partook in). I’ve also been thinking quite a bit about loops lately, and of course the very notion of rituals or traditions implies a loop or cycle, a way of passing on heritage from one generation to the next. These little documents then became loops in the form of animated GIFs - a departure from conventional vlogging, I know, but it seemed the most appropriate form for these little moments to take. It’s an idea I’d like to explore more - animated GIF as documentary. Next up: Brook Hinton!
Day 25 - 3 Generations
Following from Frank's video exploration of Darwin and evolution yesterday, I was inspired to think about generations and families, how they change and evolve over time. David made a recording of his dad years ago, talking about what life was like when he was young. Listening to it again this morning, I was struck by the fact that he made £2.10 pr week in his first job, less money than I spent on his grandson's birthday cake! The third generation is a bit more subtle. I'll leave that for you to think about....
Day 24 - NaVloPoMo 2009 Day 24
The Yahoo Videoblogging Group’s “30 videos by 30 Vloggers in 30 Day†Challenge is that each person draws inspiration from the video created the day before. I was intrigued by all the chopping and changing in recent videos from Mike Moon and David Lee King, but I wanted to pick that up and show that change is a vital part of survival. And I wanted to celebrate Darwin, today at least.
Day 23 - where's daddy?
Here's my contribution for the NaVloPoMo videoblogging game 30 Days 30 People 30 Videos. The challenge? Each person draws inspiration from the video created the day before. In Mike Moon's video, he appears and disappears a time or two, and his familiar backyard scene keeps jumping around. That reminded me of my busy work and travel schedule, and how I might be constantly appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again to my kids. Hence, I appear and disappear a bunch in the video, which is set to echoey music. Special thanks to the crow who somehow chirped in time to the beat.
Day 22 - ReTurn
The Yahoo Videoblogging Group’s “30 videos by 30 Vloggers in 30 Day†Challenge is that each person draws inspiration from the video created the day before. Gena responded to Adam’s video “Death In The Morning†with her inspiration video “Life Walking“. Birth, death, life is a cycle, a circle, Deja vu. With that said, this is my video, Day 22, a link within the chain; “ReTurnâ€. Spanning several months, the video clips were taken from the comfort of my deck chair. While enjoying life’s moments, I pan my oasis.
