Project 2: Structural Film <> Appropriation (due 10.13.11)

Create a short (three minutes or less) video piece influenced by Structural Film (Michael Snow's "Wavelength")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_film

or using appropriation (Dara Birnbaum's "Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriation_(art)

The piece will be worked out through drawings and diagrams in your sketchbook, shot in HD with one of the three New School camera options, and edited in FCP. It is due 10.13.11 for critique. Please bring your sketches, diagrams, and three minutes of footage next week to begin the editing process.

*If you are focusing on appropriation, both of these links will allow you to download youtube videos without using any additional software:

If you are on your own Mac I recommend downloading MPEG Streamclip:

Download the highest resolution MP4 file, but be prepared for low quality videos.
If you are willing to pay $20, iShowU works great for capturing videos in real time:
