When I saw the sample videos, I got the idea that any remotely unique approach to subject matter and camera technique could pass as art. This led me to use the Panasonic action camera I had gotten some time ago, which has a fisheye lens and a small scope-like head attached to a small camera body. Pondering how I might most uniquely handle this camera, I decided to use it within the capacity that it could perform, but beyond the intent of its designer(s). Using it like a snake, I dragged it around my yard, allowing it to 'slither' about and weave through the bushes. In reverse, this did have the essence of snake-like motion, but not quite the way I had anticipated.
Thanks to the input of my professor and a fellow student, I figured out how I could exploit the natural RGB split generated by the camera when its lighting was set for outdoors while filming indoors. I used this same effect to achieve a sort of 3-D look in both parts of the piece.
I have been waiting all semester to make an original audio piece, but I did not get much time for it since I had a documentary I was making at the same time, and both assignments are due in the same week.
