The Evolution of Group G: Marijuana
Original: G -> First Modification: F -> Second Modification: A -> Third Modification: E
Original Stage 1: Marijuana
The first video in The Eternal Network collaborate was created by myself, Keisha and Nourhan. Our initial concern was to find a topic or concept that would be capable of spawning interesting and hopefully unique modifications. We decided that an issue such as drug abuse...

Series 4: Group C Modification
So we’re thinking for this video, to use the presence of logos and brand recognition to reinforce the message of mass advertisement in the “culture jamming” style video. We are going to attempt to create a texture of logos on top of the existing video.

Series 3: Group E Modification
So my group (group g) is modifying the video created by group E (Keith, Sannah, Tiffany). Their video “bowlingballs.mov” gives the impression that a dictator has begun to manufacture bowling balls which contain explosives. there are clips of the bowling balls rolling toward the pins and then a large explosion when it makes contact. The second half of the...

A note about Phase 3

The intention…
When listening to each clip, the intention is...

Phase 3 cont..... again
So the “William’s” piece is looking good, there is a lot of hilarious conversation going on. Definitely something that would be interesting to listen to for 1 min.
I’m thinking that I might record another conversation somewhere, and choose 1 of the two and piece them together.
or… I’m not sure … maybe I need to look at a better approach for the edited...
Phase 3 Cont.
So far for phase 3 I have recorded a few tracks that I need to dissect, and then 1 I need to play around with. I’ve recorded….
10 min approx from the Jeff Dunham: Identity Tour (Jan 16, 2010)
This is good for background audio such as conversation and laughter
Approx. 10 min from sitting in the Pub at Blue Mountain
This is interesting because there is a lot going on

Phase 3... /a work in progress/
Basic Software Tutorial….Audacity
Preferences=> *can’t be moved without moving the original source files*
File formats=> (options) Make a copy etc… OR Read directly
Copy takes up more space ofcourse but then you won’t need to remember to move originals.
So don’t forget to move subfolder and .aup as well as source files.
Export=> Ogg Vorbis,...

Ideas for phase 2...
Video one…
Video as a site of détournement /critique (of documentary)
A documentary style video to show an exaggerated story of enviromental issues destorying the earth. Video clips to follow. use effects to make the video lose quality and mimic the destruction.
Video Two… unsure at the moment
Final Cut
make sure all clips are in a format it will understand.

note: avoid music videos…
“Your primary mode of operation is one of “détournement”, a Situationist strategy which rips material from its original context and places it in another context, which enables new ways of seeing and conceptualizing.”
examples:

cheesy karaoke videos..

Looking at E.L. P2
Requirements

3. Any video editing/mixing software can be used. (Avoid Flash, however, as it is a very clunky environment for editing video.)
4. In addition to...
