And so, here is my final draft of the "Place" project. After afore listed failed attempts, I decided to work in a less concept based and more random based process. I thought about Jan Peacock and how she works by just gathering footage and later giving it context. Since I was traveling over the break, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to film and be inspired. The resulting video is a compilation of some of that footage. When it came time to edit, while I did want to experiment more with the capabilities of Final Cut, I also wanted to allow the unedited footage to impart an unexpected result. Therefore, I did not tweak anything and kept the ambient sound on all videos – I layered them on top one another by just cropping to the horizon line and then stacked them. And so, I let randomness dictate the composition and out of it got something I’m really happy with.
In relation to “place,” this very much depicts my memory and the impression of my travels. Every place we go carries a distinct mood that is difficult to articulate. For me, this video captures “Georgia, When I Was There.”
