video web log [-\\/] video blog

a second project following on from the bergen clouds film that plays around with the idea of a film that doesn't look, sound or feel like a film. so it is another skinned movie.

this one alst has 4 child tracks that only load still images, depending on where and how often you mouse into the video panel. there are 70 images in all, each child pane uses the same 70, they are just a collage from visits to norway and things that i associate with my time here. well, some of the things that i associate with my time here.

one of the things i was interested in was just what happens in terms of possible combinations from something as simple as this. i think instead of repeating the same 4 sets of images the next one will mix them up more. i could do that here by making the child movie lists that each uses not the same as each other. but i think it is of much more value to make this and see what doesn't work in it, than to feign that such things don't actually happen.

they're sketches towards a poetics. after all.

this one is also a return towards the basic ideas of the vog: video blogs. so it is a recorded blog like conversation to camera.

there is a further discussion of this at
