A re-cap

I've been meaning to put up the art that we've been shown that i like. I think going back to them now is also going to help me, because i have a clearer idea of what i would like to do.

Chris Welsby's pieces we were shown were interesting because they were simple but facinating to watch. I have been looking more into his work and i think if i want to do a minimal approach for my fields and frames project, he could be one to reference.

Hilary Harris - 9 Variations on a Dance Theme

I like the camera movement and how it works with the dancer.

Touched - Wendy Houstoun

This is an interesting piece because it uses dance to portay situations and a setting as opposed to being all the dance itself. I also like the flow of the movement, it gives you the sense of intoxication and disruption.

Phillippe Decoufle - le p'tit pal

I like the synchronicity of this video. I also like that it has a comical feeling to it, the fact that they're sat in a field with the desk seems strange, and i think that's why it's intriguing, especially with the movements.

Norman Mclaren - Pas De Deux

I really like how the movement is portayed in this. The echo of the dance is really beautiful and i'm sure i've used this as inspiration in research of past projects. It's simple but effective.

Lodela - Jose Navas & Chi Long 

I like the contrast of black and white in this as well as the use of shapes and illusion.

Memotone - Clockwork Horse 

It's interesting to be able to see past student's work in context with what you're about to achieve, and also how people have interpreted the briefs in the past. 

Weightless - Erika Janunger

I think this piece is so beautiful. It's such a simple idea, but the effect it has is so breathtaking. 

Tell No One - Seaweed

I found this interesting because i have a friend who has done the same technique, so i'm interested to try it out (through his guidance) it's clever and innovative. 

My friend Michael's version

Lumiere Brothers - Surpentine Dance

I find this interesting in the fact that it's such an early piece of film and also how she's dancing with the fabric. I like how she produces shapes through the movement. 

Feist - 1,2,3,4

I was going to put this in my list of music videos earlier on, but somehow i didn't. I think it's a playful and lovely representation of dance. It's a bit silly and simple, and i think that's what's charming.

Matched 

I think this is very stylised and modern, but i think that's what makes it look good too. It seems very commercial. But i do like the way the dancers move and interact with each other. 

Submotion Orchestra - Hard To Stay

This is a clever use of post production techniques and how it influences the dance. It's a simple way of making something new out of a love story dynamic.
