A short creative film about mixed-media art. Created for Professor Will Luers' DTC 491 Digital Cinema class and utilizing film techniques such as montage editing, continuity cuts, and onscreen text.

Artist Statement:
For my Final project, I filmed and edited a short creative film that focused specifically on the techniques found in continuity editing, montage editing, and video essays. I have a great interest in montage editing because, like found art, it takes many small, even insignificant, pieces and puts them together to create a beautiful, meaningful whole. On the other side of that, I used continuity editing to ground my video and to give the viewer a sense of time: the scenes comprised of montage show a lot of time passing very quickly, while the scenes with continuity editing is continuous, "real time". While my video is not a video essay in the strict sense of the term, I really enjoyed working with text on the screen to add another layer of depth to my story, and to add another level of audience interaction through the use of text rather than image or voiceover.
The video itself was filmed over four days, at the edge of the WSU Vancouver campus, between the hours of 2 and 4:30 PM. I used a Sony HandyCam, and edited it in Adobe After Effects. My crew comprised of myself and Eli Culbertson, who acted in Poisson as well as assisting in operating the camera.
Overall, this was a really fun project to work on, and I enjoyed getting the chance to show what I learned this semester.
