One Minute Performance | 𝟹 𝙿𝙼 𝚂𝙺𝙴𝚃𝙲𝙷

I was having a very hard time coming up with a good idea for this project—luckily I had my roommate and boyfriend around to help me brainstorm. Ultimately, I decided on trying my hand in making a short comedy sketch featuring myself, my roommate and my cat! I had a lot of fun making this and felt more comfortable than I thought I would. I normally hate acting, hearing my own voice, and being on camera...but I was actually okay with getting it done! I think my want to make something enjoyable outweighed my camera-shyness. The editing was also fun to do! None of the original audio is included—it was all added in post! I really hope the short is readable and maybe a little goofy, that was the vibe I was going for when I made it. Overall I had a lot of fun with this project, it brought me out of comfort zone but in a good way! I’m excited to possibly do performance art in the future.

Art Project 4: One Minute Performance

Title- Sometimes

Sometimes I want to talk with an accent even though I do not

Sometimes I want to stare when I should not

Sometimes I want to live my dreams when I can not

Sometimes I want to yell when no one else would not

Sometimes I want to cry when I must not

Sometimes I want to be me when I ought not

Sometimes I want to ask for help but I could not

Sometimes I want to laugh but I have not

Sometimes I want to tell a stranger they are beautiful when I know I will not

Sometimes I do it anyway

Art Project #3 Supercut

Sweet Dreams:

My goal was to contrast these very painterly scenes against something that is trying to more closely resemble reality. I wanted to embrace the ideas of dreaming and anxiety and how they interact with one another. I wanted to focus on these instances of creativity as sparks throughout the day, remnants of dreams, as the contrast with reality.

Art Project 3: One Minute Supercut

Beyonce the GOAT

With the conclusion of Women’s History month, I dreamed it necessary to dedicate this super cut to Beyoncé Knowles Carter, who made history this past February as the most Grammy winning female in history. 

Beyonce has made in appearance in several of my projects this semester so it is no surprise that I am a stan. 

I wanted to dedicate this to Beyonce for more reasons that me just being a fan, however. In order to make history and accomplish all that she has during her 20+ year, requires a work ethic that most do not posses. 

Furthermore, Beyonce has transformed into more than just a recording artist. She is a philanthropist, activist, and feminist. She is also a pillar in the Black community for more reasons than I can explain. 

Project 3: One Minute Supercut, R A I N B O W

Artist Statement: I was having a very difficult time figuring out exactly what I should do for this project—it is pretty open ended. I began to think, and although I am not as vocal about it as some are, I am openly bisexual. Thus, LGBTQ rights are very near and dear to my heart.

I wanted to make something that was both beautiful, empowering, yet grim. The stark change between the making of the flag and the pride parade/protest was a very important aspect to me. It was difficult to try and convey all these messages in a one minute video, however, I am very proud of the final project. I think I accomplished everything I wanted to. I also had a lot more fun working on this project versus my music video; I think it is because this felt more meaningful than what I did for that assignment.

I used imovie with this project which I really liked, although imovie isn’t as user friendly as I first thought. I ran into a few issues trying to line up my clips with the song. Luckily I was able to slowly adjust it so that it all worked out!

I honestly cannot wait to see everyone else’s projects. This is essentially, my first experience making video art, and it has been really fun and wildly informative!
