stage #4 TIMING HORSES
with rant of the caliber of University work

Now I'm not one to comment on others work in our class, but the video we had to work with for this last edit is insulting in a university setting. the original video which transformed into a epic fail joke, the time machine that needs to be charged; although not the most engaging 2 minute video i have no issues with. To shorten this video to 1 minuet and add another minute of a unicorn video game does not belong in the Fine arts department in University. i would like to hear the reasoning behind the creators choice, i cannot see it having any conceptual, thematic element or aesthetic value in my opinion. it is not an interpretation or an elaboration on the original video for i can make no correlation between a fail blog joke and unicorns, not to mention the horrible quality of the footage.

i apologize for the rant, but in a university environment we should be allowed to voice such opinions and let them be constructive. after saying this i used none of the original footage nor audio from this video. i re-imported a better file of the time machine footage to work with, and disregarded the unicorn.

Time & Horses. that's what i take from the video and that is what i worked with.

I re-imported the video of the time machine to have some correlation with the original video, and used the idea of clocks and time in conjunction with the horse. A collection of classic American poems about horses was the audio for the piece, overlapped with footage of their poets animated to speak the poems with a few clips of horses all in comparison to the time traveler starting up his machine. again i played with overlapping audio to see how much the ear can comprehend and conpaired it with overlapped images of the poets faces speaking, blending their poems and images together. Can a viewer look at both faces at the same time? or does the mind jump back and forth, the same applies for the audio... what poem does one listen too? the louder poem or the one that correlates with the face they are seeing? does the face change when the listener changes what audio they are listening too?
