" 'Lights' Emulation: From the Garden to the Casino, to the Sky"
For our fourth project we emulated or recreated a chosen video. The video I chose was Marie Menken's "Lights." She filmed various light sources, such as Christmas lights and street lights, and affected the way they appear by moving and shaking the camera. I emulated her video by mimicking that sort of technique, but mine is digital video.
I also have different light sources, because it is not Christmastime and to give my video a local flair, I filmed the lights of different casinos in downtown Reno and Carson City. For a personal element I also have garden lights from my house, the solitary light source moving across the screen is more different from Menken's video than the other parts. This is because the main and overall feeling I get from Menken's video is a dreamy, mystical feeling, and at parts specifically of faeries.
The audio is something put I together in Mixcraft 6 using some of their default sounds. The goal for the audio was something simple that adds a bit of dreamy or transient ambience.
