Video Race

Our upcoming 48 hr video race has me excited to see what people have in store. Im sure people with come up with creative and original ways to capture footage w/o the use of a standard camera... I just hope I can come up with something other that relying on my 1080P iPhone to truly allow the filming process to add texture to whatever it is I create.

Another reason I am excited for this is the opportunity to create something individually. So far, our assignments have been an absolute blast working with some of my best Film Studies friends to make collaborative assignments. However, in most cases, I see experimental film as a primarily solo endeavor (perhaps with the help of supporters). Too often in films, over-collaboration can lead to disjointed story-telling, and in this class many of the assignments became too jokey and random for my taste (though fun to shoot and watch later).
