Laramie Carlson Digi Arts II

I have collected a few more video series out of my window for this project.
I have my friend Ben doing music for this project- and might develop into something else involving a projector and a band...
As for music, I'm leaning towards a post rock, instrumental track with awesome buildups and a modern feel.
Bands that will be influencing this decision-
www.myspace.com/portraitofadrownedman (local)
www.myspace.com/mogwai
www.myspace.com/sleepingingethsemane (Fargo based)

I'm thinking of switching my idea up a slight bit, and going with a video that shows movement and dance within the frame would make a beautiful arrangement with the stuff I'm getting so far. The video will be fairly minimalistic with decent sized scenes, but hopefully switching with the music in a drastic manner.

I've discovered that I have Premier Pro CS3 on my computer, and that provides even better quality and more managability. I will post a video soon.

The project has been advancing along well- A few problems so far though.

Lots of my videos will be very short clips- I have a feeling as if they might be too fast? I think some collaging of similar scenes will help with this.
I don't have my zoom lens that I am wanting to use for this project- a friend is borrowing it. I should be able to get it back sometime soon.

As for successes, I'm finding a bunch of sequences/images back in my image bank that will be good use to me.
I will be proposing to a few friends the music idea-

Over the next few days I will be compiling shots on campus of people walking, and possibly a few other ideas will show up. A time lapse in the ven-den or food court would be very good for a theme I'm leaning towards (and I tend to deal with this a bit...)- Human consumption in the American sense.

My shot every three minutes I was talking about last post came out very well. I can't wait to start throwing some barebone videos together to get some feedback on.
