It's about 50 minutes before I leave for Spring Break, which I feel is not enough time to dedicate to discussing Ethan Jackson's exhibit at inova/kenilworth. Hopefully, I will feel fully inspired to write about it as I'm on the road, watching the scenery subtly move and change over time (kind of like camera obscuras!)
For my trip, I will be going to Austin, New Orleans, and New York, bringing my video camera everywhere along the way. My favorite way to tape is gathering tons of footage, then putting together anything possible. I can tape footage traveling in the van, music festival footage from SxSw, Greyhound footage, and footage from New Orleans, when I get to see my old classmates for the first time since I left. It will be weird, thinking about this alternate universe that I left last April, by choosing to come to Milwaukee. I want to capture my experiences and impressions from there, a year later. I want capture my feelings as the occur, as they're happening. And I'm thinking that maybe I will be able to make a successful video out of such footage.
Wish me luck. I feel like I'm a crazy kid leaving in a stinky van to film a documentary. Hopefully the experiences will be fun and fruitful for interesting video making.
Mary!

How did the trip go Mary? Did you get some good footage?

Yes! I'm actually using a bunch of footage from the subway in nyc to tie together my "solitude enhancement machines" piece.
