I LIVE IN THE CITY AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ALONE (final project 3 video)

I Live In The City And Leave Everything Alone





Coming to school in Milwaukee was a change from a small town, and this video is an attempt to express the feelings of being overwhelmed in a new place. Eventually, though, you find something that centers you and calms you down and makes you feel like you're at home again.
- Cameron Walker

Video Production Started on Wednesday Nov. 1, 2006, until Sunday Dec 17, 2006.

Setting #1: The waves on the beach.

#1 Best Of... The Retreat (no sound)

Image sequence moving away from house at the lowest angle. I was thinking about making this one end in the road with car sounds, like there was a hit.

#2 Best Of... Sidewalker (no sound)

Lowest angle video of camera moving down the sidewalk, with human like turning motions. I was thinking of adding walking sounds to this.

#3 Best Of... Everywhere At The Lake (no sound)

Video sequence of me taking pictures in one spot for 5 minutes, down at the lake. I would like to have a central image to come back to to base the video on, which I will work at.

#4 Best Of... Fake Flower Circle (no sound)

Lowest possible angle shot that circles around a fake sunflower that I found. I like the idea of the artificial life surrounded by the real life.

#5 Best Of... Water Falling (no sound)

Video using the lowest possible angle I could get, looking down into the drain while it was raining. I like the continuous streams of water at different angles around the shot.
