Ooooo weeee... What a wonderful film this was to make! Luckily I did not stress out over getting it finished at all... *nervous laughter*
On a serious note, I am very happy with how my self portrait turned out. It was a struggle finding some of the source footage I wanted to use, especially those which were music videos (hooray for copyright laws), but luckily I was able to find a large amount. I also recorded quite a bit of my own original footage, so I was able to create a relatively even balance between source footage and original material, although it was more biased towards source footage. I was asking myself if it would be a smart idea to record my voice over in German since no one (except for German speakers) would be able to understand what I am saying, but I figured it would be more creative and leave my message up to interpretation by the audience. I recorded my voice over on my old mini-cassette recorded and recorded that audio into Audition, which is why the audio sounds a bit distorted. Again, something I figured would be an interesting effect.
HOLY CRAP THAT DATAMOSH THOUGH!! I was super excited to experiment around more with datamoshing, and I am super happy with how it turned out. I limited the amount of datamoshing to only a few transitions so the effect wouldn't be the central focus of the video. Besides, a lot of the shots in the film would not have worked out very well since there either was too much or too little motion within the frame. The transitions that worked best were the ones where a shot had a mix of still and moving elements, along with shots that zoomed in or out.
Overall, this project was a blast to work on. If I had more time I would tweak it just a bit, but I am incredibly happy with how it turned out and I cannot wait for more people to see it!
