LAZY DOG PRODS

OK then boys and girls. as it says in my blog from earlier this year we have a VJ brief. for this we have had to create a group, come up wih merchandice and some cool VJ performance.

We have a group, it consists of
ME = advertiser / designer
Jack Rand = Screen design
Will Woodward = Project coordinator.

we all have our rolls and come together to form LAY DOG PRODS

this came through some random brainstorming in on of th first sessions and was origanly lazy dog productions but then after discssion became lazy dog prods.

the performance for this VJ will be on either the 4th or the 5th december and Will will do the great job of doing the LIVE edit of the music.

we will collect the footage and edit it SOON...

New Media.

Many people see new media art without viewing it as a piece of art. Every thing around us in digital form is new media art. but people dont look at it as art but as something else.
These new media outlets can be in any digital form, whether its a music video you watch on MTV or whatever but all these things are most probably designed by artists but because they are things we see every day and not in a gallery then they arent seen as a form of art.

Design and Visual recording - VJam

We were given a brief on friday called VJam.
VJam is the works on the same bacis as a DJ but insted of someone using music or MIDI files to create a music track they use video clips on a loop to either create a Visual and Audio display or to accompany a track performed by someone else.

in this brief we will be taking up the role of the VJ or Visual Jockey.

we will choose a track that in our minds creates different visuals that we can put in the VJ performance.

to complete the task (as it would be alot of work to do alone) we will be put into groups, each member taking control of certain parts of the project eg porject coordinator or advertising director.

i am not sure which part i would like to do in the group but i will decide that later i guess maybe when we are i our groups.

the project itself (although sounds quite daunting) sounds like it could be un if the work is done. and the group works well together.

(11/11/07)

we have been put into our groups now and i am quite happy about the group i have been put in. I am in a group with Jack and Will. my role in the group is teh advertising coordiator.

Moving Image, Chase Sequence

Ok well, the brief we have been given is to create a Chace sequence lasting about 3 - 4 minutes.

I am quite excited about this breif because as soon as i got it i started to haveloads of ideas, that i could film and edit to make an action packed clip.

some of the ideas i have had, without doing any research are a parkour chase (a bit like the new james bond sequence.) a horror type chace, (9where the thing that is doing the chasing is not shown until the end, but clues are given into what it could be.)

I have done some research already, well i have looked at one sequence and i am writing it up! but i think i will probably look at some other chase sequences and i think i will look at them from different eras as well.
