Just put up the still images from the video. Having the ABSOLUTE WORST TIME OF MY LIFE getting my video up. At this point I have two versions of it. The one I made Friday in class and the newer one with the new ending suggested by Lana and the new still images AND a new title!
I still need to add the poetry.
The music is half way there still, actually may get finished immediately after I finish typing this.
So, now its a matter of finishing the music, one more visit to final cut, and the dvd. Oh and getting these fucking video up. This video/internet process is KILLING ME! Ahhh! I have seriously tried like 15 times today and last friday and NOTHING WILL WORK! Oy! Well, guess Ill keep trying then.
I even made a 10 second clip of the video just in hopes the smallness would help with the interneting and still nothing.
So, yah, thats the progress report and now im off to piano land.

Final Project Progress!
So, this is actually my update for last class. I completed the first draft of my video for the final on Friday in class after having had braved the crazy wind on Thursday painting by the river and taping it and taking pictures and having a BLAST!
So I imported and edited my footage and made a video roughly six minutes, as I had planned. Lana and I watched it together and she seemed generally optimistic with my progress, which excited me greatly! So she gave me some ideas (which all are great ideas) and I went home and started working on the music. I plan to post my silent video on here in a few seconds, but unfortunitly can not post the music as its an image and a video posting sorta sight here. Right, so I started playing the piano and watching the movie, fully aware that the music was absolutely, positively, no doubt going to make or break my video.
So I sat and I played and I tried and it just wasn't it yet I slightly worried that my piano skills weren't ready for such an endeveor I decided to make it work. I kept working on it and after twenty more minutes my phone started to vibrate. It was my old buddy Jorge. He wanted to hangout. I wanted to keep working. He plays music too. So I picked him up and we got started. He played my old keyboard and I played my digital piano and in no time at all we had the video on and half of the music was written. It was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as the actually feeling of creating the painting just the day before. Wow, what a beautiful couple of days I had :)
So we recorded his part. I am currently cleaning it up I have recorded my part as well. I have begun to really turn it into the music for this video. Tomorrow night, Tuesday, Jorge and I plan to finish the other half, which we started working on before we ran out of time on Friday.
ALSO! Very important information.I almost have Final Cut on my lap top, and will by tomorrow. I plan to use the ideas of Lana to my advantage and clean up my video even more tomorrow before we record. I am to spend ALL of Thursday finishing this up because I am out of work at 9:30 AM. Wednesdays form study ALL day unfortunitly :(
I also have organized my SCHOOL folder on my laptop so I am pretty ready to finish this project and burn the DVD of my semester in VL2! Oh I can't believe Friday's already the end September, come, quicker!
So, now that I've said every last possible thing I needed to say, at last, here's my actual evidential progress known as the first version of the movie which is my final. I really could have just said here's my final video! Yah, so, with ANYMORE further adieu, here's the video!
OH WAIT, ONE LAST THING! Ignore the title, IT IS CHANGING! I REALLY don't like the title right now, it is way too gay, even for me! HAHA! Right. Ok, ok, for real this time! My Final (thus far):
AH!!!
My video WILL NOT LOAD! I believe that it may have to do with the fact that it is not compressed for the internet yet and is just in quicktime... I am unsure... I am trying to call Haley but she didn't answer. I will ask my roomate when he gets home. Maybe after I get FINAL CUT actually installed and working on here I will be all set. I am pissed!
THE VIDEO WILL COME!

The source and the project behind the final
Alright, so I have made much progress in my final due next week. Lots of my progress is posted, but here is a lil something something as to what's actually going on at this point.
My source has shifted into a real hard look at my own relationship with art, particulaly my own art, and how the process of making art fulfills my needs for human relationship as well as cover my own lonileness. The video is going to be a collage of sped up video image and still images of me painting with a musical score to it.
I feel a video of me working in my primal instinctive nature blended with the music and the new poem I wrote to correspond with the music really show my source and how art fulfills me, as this whole semester I have been investigating a single life vs non single life, trying to figure out why I didn't have someone and how it affected me Somewhere along the lines my source spoke further to me and instead of trying to find all these different pieces to make this puzzle, it told me that the only piece that really mattered spoke inside of me. I realized the only way I know how to really let that voice out is through my hands On the piano, with a brush, anything and everything artistic If my hands are dirty, then I am happy. So for the final I really focused on the marriage between my life and art and the balance art creates for me as a person.
