"Time" | |||
For my final assignment, I made use of the Python command “find_word” and worked with subtitles. Below is the step by step description of my process: | |||
1-I started off by choosing the video of an interview with the artist Korakrit Arunanondchai. I chose different words like ‘space’, ‘time, ‘frame’, ‘therapy’, ‘real’, ‘change’, ‘connection’, etc. Then I analyzed what the clips with the same word were telling me. I went through the same process for a few other videos. | |||
2- After going through this process, I realized what I want to convey can be better communicated if I choose the same word for each video. | |||
3- Therefore, I chose the word ‘time’. All these videos show different artists talking about time metaphorically, literally, and conversationally. | |||
4- First, I made the cuts with the Python script in Shotcut. | |||
5- Then I exported these to Adobe Premiere and put them on the timeline. | |||
6- In Adobe Premiere, I intuitively played with the arrangement of the clips, to establish connections between the words of each artist/academic. This was the most enjoyable part as by this point the connection between different clips slowly started to emerge. | |||
7- By arranging and rearranging clips, and removing certain clips, the video brings out the different political, philosophical, and creative meanings of time for these people from diverse backgrounds. I chose artists that have inspired me over the years, but also artists from different generations (times!) and places. | |||

Bach's Radiohead | |||
I took a solo saxophone performance of Bach’s “Cello Suite1 1.Prelude” from YouTube, analyzed the notes, and then rearranged them using a midi file comprising of the melody of Radiohead’s song “Street Spirit”. | |||

I used the Python script for ‘object detection’ with the CLASS “bicycle” to create this edit. | |||
My source material consists of the unofficial music video for Boards of Canada’s "Everything You Do is a Balloon", which makes use of archival footage. The original footage belongs to a 1963 film titled “One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety”. It depicts a group of youngsters riding bicycles to the park for a picnic and documents the violation of various bicycle safety rules. One by one, the children are eliminated as they violate rules, and only one manages to arrive at the park. | |||
I chose this video for its depiction of bicycles and dreamlike atmosphere. | |||

This snippet is from a 1979 documentary about the Greek musician "Lasos". His music mainly comprised of synthesizers. I picked the word "patterns" with a meta approach, as we're literally looking for patterns when using algorithms to edit. | This snippet is from a 1979 documentary about the Greek musician "Lasos".
