I thought there was no way I could dislike a project as much as I disliked our sound art project but of course I spoke too soon. Video- to say the least I'm not enjoying this project. I enjoy editing so I imagine once I finish the shooting process I won't mind putting the project together but my main issue is I can't come up with an idea that isn't going to be lame! Plus I don't really know what the criteria for the project is really, I know that my idea for a video is going to be completely different than the next persons. So I've settled on what I want to do and, surprise surprise, I went back to my original idea which was to make a music video for a friends song. Justin Hickey is my best friends boyfriend and is extremely talented. So I got a couple of his tracks and choose one and recently convinced my roommate Heidi to act in it for me. And frankly that's my idea and if you don't like it, tough ! My main goal for this past year is to make art that has a purpose for me. I want to make pieces that I'm satisfied with and that I want to share with more people than my classmates. Out of my four years here I have more artwork that I'm not happy with than pieces that I'm proud of. And I believe that the reason for that is that I'm going by more so what my prof wants than what I want. But the thing is in a year when I've graduated the only person I'm going to be making work for is myself so why listen to them now? I listen to the things that they each say when it comes to technical issues and suggestions about the content but I simply think that just because they don't "like" the final product doesn't mean it's not good.
Well there is my rant about my video project that more so turned into my rant about teachers and my art !
