Project 2: Structural Film <> Appropriation (due 09.27.12)

Create a short (three minutes or less) video piece influenced by Structural Film (Michael Snow's "Wavelength")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_film

or using appropriation (Dara Birnbaum's "Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriation_(art)

The piece will be worked out through drawings and diagrams in your sketchbook, shot in HD with the Canon 7D (or your own HD camera), and edited in FCP. It is due 09.27.12 for critique. Please bring your sketches, diagrams, and three minutes of footage next week to begin the editing process.

*If you are focusing on appropriation, these links will allow you to download youtube videos without using any additional software:

If you are on your own Mac I recommend downloading MPEG Streamclip:

Download the highest resolution MP4 file, but be prepared for low quality videos.
If you are willing to pay $20, iShowU works great for capturing videos in real time:
