Got myself a YouTube account which is being really slow to upload my footage...
Getting a bit annoying might leave it for the night now.

1 down 5 to go...
FINALLY the technology was on our side today!
Managed to get Carols videos onto the Macs using her own portable hard-drive (haha)
but it worked so thats the main thing!
We have one minute of footage now which looks good. Obviously may need some tweaking here and there.
Going to take Wednesday off to gather some more footage and relax seen as we have been in from 9.30 both days this week.
For some reason the video wouldn't load to YouTube but i blame the Macs for that as the internet connection was playing up in the Mac Suite most of today. Will just have to try again when we go back in on Thursday.
It's weird to think that we only have 1 minute of footage actually because it took a good 4 hours to get it right and it seemed like it was much longer than a minute.
It's fine though i am enjoying the project and working in a three is fine, we dont crowd each other or disagree on anything which is good as i feared it may have been too crowded to work with that amount of people.
Anyway tomorrows plan is to collect more footage and crack on again with it on Thursday.

Eye
An art installation in which a stripped CRT monitor sits in an empty room displaying an eyeball. The sound is a single heartbeat slowed down to a machine-like noise and plays in time with the flickering interference of the screen. I found this video on YouTube.... it starts in a very similiar way to which ours will start and contains images and sounds which we are incorporating into our piece.
Technology!
Today we decided to meet as a group at Uni to start adding our stills and films to I-Movie! Easier said than done.
My footage went onto the Macs with no hassle as did Robyn's stills and footage. Then we tried to upload Carol's files from her Digi-Camorder only to find that the Macs wouldn't play any of it. We went to the library and burned the files from the PC onto a CD-RW disc and USB pen to see if this would work just in case it was a problem with the downloading from the Camcorder. It didn't work, so we have some footage saved onto one of the Macs at the moment. Have mailed Rob to see if he can shed any light on the matter and Carol is tonight going to save the files in a different format to see if that will work. If not...then goodness knows?
Am also annoyed because the Macs buggered my Memory Card in my Digi-Cam and i lost the films i had recorded which i was going to upload onto my blog. I guess i will have to do it all again at some point this evening.....grrrrrr!

Update...
Finally met with Carol and Robyn to discuss our ideas and seems we all want to do a similar theme which worked out well.
We will be exploring the human brain and 'mind's eye' and looking into to the mind.
We all agreed to gather some material for Monday and meet again at Uni to start putting together the video.
Tonight i'm going to do some filming in the dark to get some atmospheric shots and will upload the videos on here tomorrow at some point.

Human Body
This is a video tracing the human body in MRI scan formations.....
If we pursue the path of humans, then we can explore using inanimate ojects to represent sounds and occurances within the body. Carol and Robyn have both explored lava lamps to create effects such a flowing blood in veins and such.
This video i really liked. It represents the body as a landscape and explores not only imagery but also sounds which relate to an urban alternative to the body...
such as breathing and the nose, represented with wind and tunnels. It is a very abstract and obsure video but i like it.
