Tuesday Class

I am in the process of getting a super8 camera for video taping and have gained access by the film chair to to lab fascilities to process this film. I just want to confirm that for tuesday we are required to do drawings from stills from our movie. I am under the impression i may need a little more time to get the film up to par.

With that said i attended the writing seminar and i think it covered some interesting conditions of authorship and the task of our thesis 'procis'. I think it is an interesting text to be written in that it lays down the foundation and relative truths from readings we find to be relevent in laying down the parameters by which we will explore the thesis. I hope that during class we may begin to discuss the importance of laying down in writing this procis. I tried to discuss this in the seminar but i personally feel these procis must discuss the dilemma of linguistics in discussing space and time, issues of scale and the middle world and the framework of perception that is vital to the issues being explored. Now all may not find these to be dilemmas but is it wrong of me to think of the procis as the place of authorship that would establish certain issues of domains that we have discussed before based on the theoretics of our thesis as well as the text and linguistics already discussed in class.

video compression

I am wondering how people are compressing their .avi videos from premier in order to post them on youtube and then the blog. Does anyone have a suggestion for a compression program? Thanks.

Notes from reading Piaget "the Child's conception of Physical Causality" the Chapter on Water:

I re-read with Mike's project in mind asking myself what in here is usable .....these ideas are present in the fountain he filmed but it is organized , more complete with possible metaphoric associations.....they could be used ......yes they are kind of obvious but they are just a beginning for associative thinking...


types of states and movement of water:

waves they occur at the EDGE of lakes ......caused by stones, paddles or winds

currents (of rivers) .as LINE ... one does not see the where they begin (source) and
where they go (end)...they are hidden...it is directional.....
from a child " it goes away...how come there is always some left"
the mystery of finite being..........
"the water runs because of the slope".....the idea of weight and
gravity
falling water

Sketches

Rear Window

"... Think of - Alfred Hitchcock. Life in a window observed from without. A classic. You see this woman in a lit window wearing a red dress, and you've got no idea what she's up to. But then - yes, you do see something!"

P46 - part of the chapter talking about the Tension between Interior and Exterior.
Peter Zumthor - Atmospheres

By the way, "Atmospheres" and "Thinking Architecture" are unbelievable books. If you have not read them you should.

metaphors

studio,
quit making this more difficult than it need be.
many of you simply dont seem to understand what a metaphor is.
here is some very simple advice,
read metaphors we live by as you were asked to do in the first week.
read the examples, USE the examples.
orientational metaphors as example...
conscious is up,unconscious is down.
high status is up, low status is down.
rational is up,emotional is down.

with that said, we should be well into editing by now.
this is due on tuesday.
