At university I’ve ended up working on several video pieces, most of them very fun to work at. Here are some of them, all created as part of some assignment.

Gaten is a work that had to comply with the conditions of being about the human body, and of incorporating as a theme either ball, string, box, or bag. We went with string (amounting to not much but an initial pretext,) and our answer was devising a human swing. We just took it over the top.

This video, which I titled when uploading to Vimeo An experiment in high-speed filming, is the result of a process of doing just that, but then trying to use the technique acquired for expressive purposes. The concept is of a —I struggle with what to call it— metadiegesis in which us students act ourselves, and, well, saying further would be spoiling it. Despite what the above might suggest, it is a lowbrow, hackneyed little video that we still enjoyed putting together.

上記の映像は日本語が理解できなくても観られるものですが、その条件に外れてしまう後一つを見せたいと思います。愛着というタイトルです。コミュニケーション・デザインという枠の中で作られた映像なんですが、その意図にも外れてしまいました。変わったコミュニケーションを街に探して、その裏を掘り出すという課題でしたが、見つけた件の裏話は他人へのコミュニケーションでもなかったのです。しかし聞かせていただいた物語も面白くてこの映像になりました。もっと面白い話は聞いたのですが、更に課題の意図に外れてしまうので使いませんでした。気が向いたらこの映像を伸ばして小さな記録映像にもなれなくはないと思います。
