Well, I have been rather busy these last few days. ON Tuesday, I was in an interview for an unpaid internship for a local entertainment company. And well…. I GOT IT!!! So I have been working on my responsibilities there. And doing some editing on my movies.
I hope to post some new Prints tomorrow. As for what I've been working on I''m afraid I can't really post anything except to say that it is ROCKIN' and that I'm having tons of fun and working hard!
Well, It seems that google will not let me post images or video, so I will take my leave for tonight and try again tomorrow!
Good Night everyone!

Dwelling Place-concept
The original concept for this work has unfortunately not made it into an usable application.
The original plan was to use a doll house and combine it with video, which would be projected into the backing fabric. The video would play as people/images inhabit the rooms and what not. But the specifics in set up and the overall video/object interrelation just is not working even though I've tried my best. So it's onto something that will work!.
Here is an image template to the doll house in its original plan.

Here is a test of the rooms.
I'll post some stills of what the new concept of this work will be later in the week. You can also look at a new movie short on my youtube channel.

The Book-2011
Capturing images and creating video that means something to me, personally, has been a big motivator behind my recent work. In The Book, I've used my great grandmother's Bible as the back drop upon which different images, that have to do with my faith and what it means to be a Christian in modern day times, plays over the turning pages. The Bible is more than a memento it is almost a scrap book, showcasing family history and the things my Great Grandmother (Nana) stored between the pages.
Here is a shot of the object (book stand) I constructed for this piece, as well as the layout for a catalog spread.
The stand is blank, the video is projected on the white surface, creating a book made of light and sound.

Magdelen and Moving over...
Images of work Projected on a wall in ASL.
So this is an installation shot of my work, the tree like image and another graduate Mikko Lautamo. (The colorful side/and more in focus.)
I purchased a small projector LG 201 it's light compact and has LED lights instead of light bulbs. After Mikko's praise of it I knew I needed to get me one and it has been wonderful for my work.
This image/still is from Magdelene2011, which is a video piece that I have been working on over the last year and a half. The concept behind it was the idea of meeting someone and have your life be changed by it. Before and After. For me this is expressed best in the meeting of Mary Magdelene and Jesus. All we really know about Magdalene is that she is one of two people who were present for all three major events in the New Testament. Jesus' ministry, his death and his resurrection. All the Bible says is that she was possessed by 7 demons and that after meeting Jesus she provided for him and His disciples with her resources.
Its was interesting to have her be this mysterious figure and yet she must have played a big role in the early church.
Well the work that has gone on this semester has been mostly behind the scene with very little to post about. But I'll be posting more about my recent work and transferring over images and what not from the other blog as the week moves on. It's school based and deleted at the end of the semester which is one reason for the long gaps between posts. I tend to post on one or the other, but this one is officially dubbed the main one and will be where I focus my writing and social networking skills.

I'm Back for good!
Well,
I've been given the go ahead. Which was really just conformation that the prints are working and that the professors as well as I have missed them! I was worried that moving into video, the prints would seem like a step backward. (Although I have been doing them on the side;) )
SO I've been looking into printing options and I've had this one printed on Canvas. It is in a semi-gloss finish which makes it a little to shiny but I really Like the texture of the canvas as well as the fact that they wrap the image around the sides.
P.S it looks like my posts about moving over to the other blogs have been deleted, but since the school sponsored blog will be shut down in a few weeks I am moving back. So I will be updating this blog with all those posts in the next few weeks.
Salutations!!!
