Editing Inspiration

When filming our experimental piece i wanted to do some more research on the video sharing website- Vimeo. Below are a few pieces i was inspired by.



This piece uses layers of coulourful shapes, and various other objects. When editing together our final piece i want to blend together lots of bokeh lights to create something more original and refreshing to look at.



The Fragments of Iceland is one of my favourite pieces- a long with The Words Of Bokeh- that i have come across over the period of this project. I find the editing technique and style truly amazing. I was drawn in right from the very beginning and watched a number of times. The footage was perfectly editied to fit the music, when the music became more up beat so did the cuts between the pictures. Linking water with various other other water related elements, and the panning shots of various different locations which have been cut together are amazing. We are taken on a journey with seamless editing- i want our piece to have this quality about it too. Not only did this piece completely captivate me but it inspired me to create something of its quality, something that makes people feel inspired to create an experimental piece themselves.

Editing like the example above, where we see the blanket blowing in the wind which then cuts to the clothes blowing in the wind. Although different locations and colouring, they share this particular element, which makes it work. I want this style to show through in my editing, perhaps linking transport to transport or colours to colours.

This piece here uses photographs combined with stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.
To take our piece further we thought about combining the stop motion effect with our bokeh lights. Neither of us have tried this technique before and so it would be a challenge for the both of us. I chose this particular clip because they use lights as well, although theirs are projections they are till using layers- in theory- to create this finished effect.



Although perhaps not an aspect that we could incorporate into our film, it is very inspiring. Its unique and i personally haven't seen anything like it. Although our final piece will be influenced from many other pieces we have seen it is important for us to create something unique and personal to us.
