Fluxus Films & Mid-term Project

By -

I'm interested in Yoko Ono so I chose to watch her Film No.1 (One) in which a match lit up and went out eventually. The whole movie focused on only one subject (a match) which enable viewers totally immerse themselves in this silence scene. I wonder whether it was shown in slow motion? Then I watched several other fluxus films on the website and found that subjects in fluxus films are varied. It seems that everything at the center of the screen has its own story worth a deep investigation from the artistic perspective. It might also imply that anything can be art even if there is no shining decoration (e.g., sounds, production and shooting techniqures).

As for my mid-term project, I initially wanted to do an E-magazine but I didn't know any good free software. Now I will probably construct a webpage dedicated to 2010 Shanghai World Expo. I originally planned to participate in this event as a volunteer, but now I'm not sure whether I can back to Shanghai next year T_T. So I decide to keep myself updated with this big event which will be held in my hometown. I believe there will be abundant multi-media resources that can be used to enrich my webpage. I used to learn Frontpage, but now I remember nothing! Hope we can help each other finish our mid-term projects ^_^

    I have Yoko's Book Grapefruit, which you may use as a starting point to see some of her conceptual art ideas. Please remind me when we meet to discuss your project parameters.

Presentation Discussion

I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.

Final Project_Liuyi

By -
At the last three weeks of this semester, Mr. Panago introduced us a new video editing software Adobe After Effects. Adobe Premiere, which is also mainly for video editing that I explored in midterm project, is generally employed to arrange the order of videos, cut and put transitions, it is also capable of doing basic DVD authoring. While After Effects can edit video footage in much the same way as Premiere, it is designed specifically to work with video layering, compositing, effects and animation. Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
