Another week of Final Cut Pro. Another week of trying to find enough storage on my USB. Another week of trying to understand the piles of folders that the program requires. And another week of figuring out all the ridiculous buttons all over the screen.
I love video art. I love how you can sit with your eyes glaring at the screen, forgetting about your tangible surroundings, as the shapes and colours on the screen tell you a story; a story you may not have ever seen before. It was interesting to see big names like Andy Warhol create such simple videos like 'Empire' (1964). It is so simple, yet has your attention for such a long time.
Another video that really stood out from the slides in recent weeks was 'The Clock' by Christian Marclay. This video was so carefully constructed, and the attention to detail is immense. Looking at these videos is interesting, trying to create them on the other hand, is beyond difficult.
I have decided, I don't think video art is for me.
