Today was a shitty day for me and my video. My computer can't hang anymore with the big dogs...too slow, glitchy, makes weird noises in the night. I pretty much wasted 3 hours today trying to create a transparent quicktime animation in imageready and then importing it to premier. Sometimes it was all black, sometimes it was green with severe pixelation and the damn thing never was transparent like I created it in photoshop. AND, i know it can be done in a few steps in Final Cut. But I have Premier and i was determined to figure it out. At least I have everything to start putting my animation and video together.
I did get to see some pretty cool films today from microcinema international. the one with the apple keeps playing in my head.
I've been reading the Poetics of Space and it's the best book I've seen so far on the topic:
"Topoanalysis, then, would be the systematic psychological study of the sites of our intimate lives. " (Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard)
"O, mes chemins et leur cadence" - Jean Caubere, Deserts
(Oh, my roads and their cadence.)
Thoreau said that he had the map of his fields engraved in his soul.
Memory does not record concrete duration.
