I have 1 assignment due this month, but I'm really busy with lots of other things!
Here's what I've been up to. So last week I presented my "no photos please" assignment in class, we were asked to present something that had a tie to photography, but was not simply a printed photo. Some people made collages, one of my classmates made a dress with prints on it. I chose to make two videos, the first was an extension of the "lonely part" I made this fall, the other video I made is a short video containing all of the photobooth pictures I've taken. I'll put them both up at the end of this post.
Other things going on in my life include a Film Festival I am organizing, this is a student event, in its 8th year. This year, Jeff Parker and I are at the helm, and the festival is going to be on March 29th at 7PM at the Vogue Theatre (yup, we booked the theatre, that's how cool we are). The Film Festival is actually held at the Vogue every year, and if you are reading blog as an outsider to Sackville, then I suppose I should tell you about the Vogue. Sackville has one movie theatre, that plays current movies, it has one screen and the place is awesome. The building is rather old, and there is a unique charm to viewing a film there. Seeing as I'm advertising, I might as well tell you about Film Society; every Thursday during the school year, an independent film is shown (these are major films that do not circulate your average movie theatre, but are show in film festivals around the world). Film society is great, as the films really bring something to Sackville that we wouldn't have if it weren't for the organisers.
So yeah, the Film Festival I help organise, we show films made by the handful of student film makers who happen to go to school here (Mount Allison does not have any form of a film program(although we have equipment to make them)). I'm excited about this years stuff, although a bit stressed, as I haven't finished everything I'm going to submit.
In other video related news, I had a presentation for the Beatles course I'm taking (wait, I don't think I ever told you I was taking a class on the Beatles, well I am, it's rad) and I made a video analysis of Revolution 9. The song is intense, but I'm not 100% satisfied with my analysis, so I think I'll hold off showing it to you until I am. But the people in my class seemed to like it.
Alright, so I should update you guys on some stats!
Before I graduate I have
• Four papers
• One photo assignment
• One take home exam (which will essentially be another essay)
• A final photo portfolio
• Two exams
• A presentation
To do. All this in under 6 weeks. I'm not looking forward to it at all.
So, I shot a lot of film last semester, and somehow, even though I felt like I had nothing to shoot this semester, I've managed to shoot more. I'm rather confused I must say. As of last week I had shot 44 rolls of black and white, but since then I think I've shot around 6, although I'm not so sure. Colour numbers in at 14 or so.
Jeez.
Anyway, that's all for today, my two no photos please videos are posted below.
Enjoy,
