Breeding Creation

In my final video I committed to the pro-imagination theme by mixing messages advocating imagination with real and painted images, greens, and signs that stand for "go."

Your Mind's Elation

Throughout my drift I encountered artwork many times. On a fence, the wall of a bathroom facility, trash cans etc. In my second sound rough cut I decided to juxtapose the many faces depicted in these paintings as well as mix it with that of the "stop-and-go" theme.

Can't Stop

For my first sound rough cut I engaged in a pro-imagination theme. The video displays both real and fake images as well as images that stand for "stopping" (such as a stop sign) and images that stand for going, or continuing onward (such as a green light).

What's Real and What's Not Real

For my second silent rough cut I juxtaposed images of real objects next to that of painted interpretations of them. I found most of the painted images on a fence next to the sidwalk while on my drift. When I went back to the studio I realized I had already photographed real images portrayed in the paintings and thus inspired this video.

Red Spot

In my first silent rough cut video I decided to use mainly reds throughout the video and occasionally throw off the beat of the visuals with some yellow or green.

Modus Operandi

To complete my Drift Two walk and render my course beyond my control, I placed two dimes, two nickels, and two pennies in my pocket and paired them with a certain direction. At each intersection I would reach into my pocket and take out a random coin. If I grabbed a dime, I turned left, a nickel turned me right, and a penny told me to go straight.

For my image capturing strategy, I stopped every seven minutes to photograph anything interesting within my vicinity. I became particularly interested in photographing red and green objects; plants, stop-and-go lights, trash cans, anything at all, although I did not limit my photographing to this theme by any means. A smaller theme however began to become employed over the course of the walk; with the added theme of green and red, I began to develop a theme of pro-imagination and being able to run with it instead of ignore it. I photographed real objects and painted objects to capture that aspect of my theme.

In the map below, the red line indicates the journey of my Drift Two walk. Whereas the blue indicates my Drift One walk. For my Drift Two walk, I first walked this course and collected only sound and then returned, retraced my steps, and collected still and moving imagery.
