Several more video/sound are pieces nearing completion. Jennida has several bits of footage that she shot around town of fences, walls and the river that she has been editing and I have endeavored to produce complementary tones either to accentuate or guide these visuals. Mostly I feel like I am playing until I hit that moment when something sounds “just right” and then it becomes a little bit more like work. These are also good moments to relish. There is a cathartic moment when everything turns to shit and then rebounds. I think Jennida is having more of these moments than I as she has been having more software problems along the way. We need a grant to fund our equipment needs. Our Pilottone project has similar problems as on one hand we need a certain amount of tech to conceive and prepare material, but also to perform and execute the final product. Secondary but still related, how do you store it all? We can’t always borrow or rent, but we cannot afford to buy and house it all. It is fair to say that the average video and sound artist has no less than $10,000 dollars wrapped up in something as small as a laptop at anyone time. Go to the Apple store and start by putting the top level laptop into your cart and then proceed to load whatever video, photo, data, sound programs you feel you might need and then start looking at to facilitate it all. It is ridiculous! But so fun!
