This week we had special guest Ian Campbell come in and talk to the class about VJ'ing and Video mixing, I added an example of VJing in the video below. This was a really neat lecture because I felt like Ian brought a refreshing perspective on his art form. During these lectures I found that a lot of the speakers, especially those who work with technology, had a tough time keeping our attention and keeping the class understanding of what's going on and what they are trying to do. Ian did a good job really explaining the basics instead of just jumping right into how he makes his huge creative masterpieces on the fly.
Reading material this week consisted of Sarah Abbott's work. Sarah's website (link below) was really easy and cool to navigate and I always appreciate a clean layout. Sarah Abbott is a Canadian film maker who's work primarily focus' on human rights, ethics and the environment. I never have had any thought about film as being very interesting for me personally. Film is such a diverse and such a different creative mindset as oppose to something like painting or sketching. Its using things that are already here and making them interesting and painting is creating something from nothing using your imagination. This site had me thinking about the difference between film as a art form compared to painting as an art form.
