sounds and images

This video was absolutely amazing!!! I don't know if it was because I love music and enjoy pictures, or if t was just genious, (I'd like to think it was both) but it was very entertaining to watch.
My favorite piece was by Ralph Steiner, H2O. This was a piece were the soundtrack played while clips of water were being seen. The way that the piece was put together was perfect. The music matched up with the water right on que. In some scenes, the water would portray soundwaves. It was so eye catching. Scenes were at places such as the forest, streams, rain, fountains, etc. There is one scene in particular that I can remember, where the water is dripping from a dock, and the way that the reflection from the light moves and the drops fall, along with the water was just so calming.
I don't know how long this piece took to put together, but it was fantastic!!!

This is a crappy piece of it, but it is the only one I could find.

DADA!!!!!!

I really enjoyed the dada videos. It really influenced me to become more random and unrepresentational in my work. I loved the quick clip of all the pictures flashing with "dada" sound coming in randomly. Sorry that was so messy, i just didn't know how to write it and explain it in words. EEK!! Doing the Dada assignment helped me to realize the importance of size and placement of an object, even if it is a random piece of work. Size and placement can be really huge in determining whether a piece of work is good or fantastic!

That is what I learned about dada.
