Video Art Reviews

Catherine - Good idea to do the time capsule video to yourself, and there was a very positive message, but I was really missing the 'art' part of the assignment.

Michelle - I really like the effects you got from the degradation of re-recording the videos! The way it blurred the motions together made it like 'artistic.'

Juan - Your video expresses a lot of what you think about yourself, which is what an artist should be doing. Like the cool text effects at the beginning and wish this had been throughout!

Lauren - Your piece was more akin to a slideshow than video art, but I can tell you put a lot of effort into the timing. Knowing the context of the assignment, your message is definitely present.

James - Loved it! I immediately got your message, so you were successful at that. By using the 8-bit images with that music, it helped make it even more cohesive. The credit were great!

Maria - Wish I was able to understand the meaning behind the video better, but having lived only in the US, I am ignorant. I know that it means a lot to you and that is most important.


Kim - Excellent job at telling a story without words. The video definitely conveys that this was an important event in your life. Cool outline filter effect!

Nakota - The clips you took were really good; interesting camera angles and sort of misty effect. Your credits and music were also great!

Erin - Good use of color with both the Photobooth filters and abstract art pieces.

Chris - Love that you wrote your own lyrics! Definitely above and beyond. Kind of felt that using a third-party software that created the backgrounds was cheating.

Arielle - By capturing a once in a lifetime event, you will always be able to remember how much fun you used to have.

Brian - Cool combination of sounds that you mixed in order to create the music. You did a great job of de-contextualizing voices that we all know immediately.

Sabrina - I liked your idea of making a digital letter to yourself. By putting it online, it will live forever unlike actual paper.

Cody - From what we saw in class, I am so intrigued! Not only was it a good idea to use 3D animation, but the images you are using, changing yourself to be different character, are just cool.
