Project 2
"Lennox, My Dog" is basically a slide show of still photos with title commentary and the music accompaniment, "Too Good to Be True" sung by Lauren Hill. The photos of my dog and his friends started out in chronological order, and though I swapped out a couple photos, I think they are still in their sequential taken order. I picked one of the songs I sing to my dog, which I usually do replacing the lyrics with some more situation-specific ones. The overlaying commentaries are introductions of "characters" and connecting images to audio as well as examples of lyric changes I would make. Enjoying the finished product is my favorite part.
I had so much fun making the slide show, I was excited to see what I could do with video. "My Place Then" is the second blog I posted to my Project 2 blogger. Playing Regina Spector's "20 Years of Snow" with my snow day videos seemed appropriate. The poem I wrote quite some time ago. It's original inspiration has escaped me, but I think it has the attitude of the song and of my life at the time I lived there; it's kind of distanced, careless acknowledgement of facts. It's hard to read the words with the title animation I chose, but it was more legible in Windows Movie Maker, which I used to make the video. I think the ambiguity goes along with the rest of the blog post. The process of figuring this all out though is fun; next I want to make a multimedia birthday present for my mom's birthday.
