Levin Stone II

'Full view' set on highest-quality for the best results.

Levin Stone II: A revisit to the first Levin.
I corrected some of the doofy areas of imagery and added in much more over the extended audio of the Levin Stone video. [View old video and write-up] Electric Lines [Soil Finn/myself] worked as the audio and the images were photographs as well as a couple of video pieces tied together in certain frames that I captured in Taughannock falls. This connects to other videos as well with symbolic gestures as the focus. (Half Of It, Talisman and Paige's Dragonfly are the current pieces in this project that can be taken as individual videos or as one whole grouping.) I'm very exhausted from running around, missing buses, getting drenched in the rain and such all to get reliable internet connections to try to share these. Those are all stories for another day. Running around with a tambourine in a backpack makes time less of a hassle and each step more of a metronome
The area of the video with the crows was an idea I had tampered with using a chroma key to get the white the hell out of the photograph and then using two video tracks of the photo I scrolled each in opposite directions.  The photograph used was one I took of an amazing amount of crows gathering in front of a violet sky in the 'moose days' of my quaint damn existence  I'll post that photograph up later if anybody actually reads this thing or reminds me. Thanks to the couple of people that said nice things about the video. I'm trying to fill up an hour of visuals to tie these all together. Just when you think it's all finalized, the creative force clings on even tighter. I'm sure a re-re-edit will occur in the future.I love and hate the internet so much.
Each direction is swarmed with a new idea and it's frustrating as hell and infuriating but also beautiful and damn rewarding when all efforts are transferred from ideas to something that can be experienced through human-suit senses.

What else? Paige's Dragonfly is FINALLY finished. And I really do not like blogging or cells, I'm thinking maybe I'll just continue on paper and then scan these entries in. It feels like I'm typing strictly for all those who are between moments of looking up porn on the internet or the tiny few key-wording 'psychedelic waterfall images.' Yikes.
This post will say that it is going to be edited in the future but really it won't be fine tuned at all because I'll lose interest in it or forget writing this very statement. I'll update this soon
Coming soon: Paige's Dragonfly, Why NOT to fix the economy, A mythos in song called 'The Devil's Junkmail," and an interview with a short-story antagonist who hands dead rats through his ear holes and runs for congress.
