Project Three: Abstract Montage (not this semester)
Early Experimental filmmakers often cut and spliced and painted on film stock to create moving abstract images, echoing the art world's expressionist paintings of the time. By emphasizing form over content, they connected to the emotional and intuitive parts of themselves and their viewers.
For this assignment we will use the special editing options in Adobe Premiere and After Effects ( and perhaps more) to create an abstract montage. Recognizable images may be used but the emphasis will be on the nature of form and using the vocabulary of editing programs today to reinterpret abstract manipulations. The goal here will be to create a mood in a one minute piece, more poetic than didactic. Short tests will precede the project with demos in class.
Technical Goals:
Exploring the options in software manipulation
Aesthetic Goals: formal allure, unity, surprise, engagement
Artists:
Chris Doyle
Oskar Fischinger
Stan Brakhage Mothlight
Michael Langan
Cory Archangel
YorgoAlexopolous (video Walls)
Phil Hastings (threshold series)
QianLi
Robert Campbell Language of Change: Alviano Geometries
Triton Mobley Coded Black 00000
