From Video to Frame pt. 1 - Project #2



My final video to be used as source material for Project 2. The clip starts with footage of being stuck on the merge into University Avenue during rush hour and ends with a scenic rural drive to Elmira with some music in the background. I wanted to focus on the frustration of being stuck in traffic and the yearning to escape to a more enjoyable voyage.



The video datamoshing technique is the same as before: remove the I-frames aside from the first frame of the two videos and put them together in Avidemux. For this video, I was inspired by Takeshi Murata's work.

Takeshi Murata, Monster Movie, 2005 from Salon 94 on Vimeo.

The way the clips blend into one another in painterly-like ways is an unexpected result of video editing, almost as if it's how the digital format attempts to return to its traditional roots of painting as an accessible medium.

What was lacking in my video is the range of colours, which I will handle in my next post.
