[ we were able to screen in MAGIC sound mix today, which meant i was actually able to show the class my surround mix (shout-out noah, that shit bangs) ]
surround sound added so much depth to the characters and to the space
strong use of space with the mix
made mario sad :(
disappointed that this piece was so clearly designed for a theatrical space but likely won't be able to be viewed that way
lighter sound to motivate the scene switch was strong
dave would've wanted me to re-record the dialogue to actually portray their energy
totally valid, my basement in ohio is loud as hell and i knew the audio wasn't gonna be crisp
sarah brought up potentially making the aspect ratio "breathe" (as in widen and shrink) in time with the droning
super awesome concept, wish i woulda thought of it when i had enough time to experiment still
wish the drone continued as opposed to restarting every time we came back to it
i actually don't know if it does or doesn't do that
gained a michael defranco thumbs up of approval :D
played the exact same cut as last week, since the only thing that had been done was a surround mix, which couldn't be shown in that room
ask seth if the crop actually goes all the way to the top and bottom
it does
still pretty cool
potential for clicking or snapping when the video switches
bring up the level of my monologue
something lost it's impact
i didn't notate what, the note just says "loses the impact"
including the monologe helped clarify the theme
bring the V.O. later until the final few clips
pro-aspect ratio
breathing in screenings cut
will sell the idea of someone watching when you lose the immersion of the installation
greenscreen through the door?
as opposed to a mask in post
would need someone who has taken AC2 to light/shoot
deeply complicated
would need a good compositor
if there's to be a tracking element involved
fourth wall breaks were impactful
play around with the aspect ratio in the rough
potential for different kinds of masks too (keyhole, focusing on something odd, etc)
portrayal of the theme gets more explicit as it progresses
this, of course, is just looking at the long takes with no editing
lost the theme of artistic destruction
lack of plant in the bathtub scene
the weed??
talk to seth about compositing in flower wallpaper?
there's clearly some kind of meaning here, and regardless of whether or not the viewer picks up on what it is specifically, it's enough to get them interested and engaged.
