well this is the last day. we finished our individual projects and showed a group of people all the work that we had done over the past 2 weeks.



last day

by Dylan : July 23rd, 2008

Today was awesome even though its the last day. These past two weeks i have learned a lot about video editing and about art exercises. At first I thought in the back of my mind that this would just be another thing to do but it turned out to be extremely fun. I have finished converting the pictures of the two weeks into a small enough for the website so check them out when they come up. Today we goofed off a bit in tradition of last day events but it ended in a photo shoot with Collin posing for every picture and acting the paparazzi. Thanks for the experience Westcott House and The Now Device.

I’m tired….

by Collin : July 21st, 2008

Well, it’s 9 0′clock in the morning…. again, and i am here at the studio. I am aware that i have not yet posted anything on here but that does not mean that i have not been having fun too. So far it has been a blast here at the Westcott house, working with computers, meeting really important and interesting people, doing sketches and overall having a good time. Hope I can do it next year.

today me and kari made an abstract movie from the footage and the pictures that we shot in springfield yesterday afternoon. the clip was about 1 minuet long and we added special effects to change the color of the photographs to make them more impressionistic.

this afternoon i went around the house and i filmed footage of the inside and outside of the house.

Today we were making a movie and put music when the movie was showing pictures.

And I was video taping the house by walking and recording the stuff in the house.

today we made movies with abstract pictures and movies of springfield. Surprisingly, Springfield has both abstract and ornate architecture. The classical music and effects selected for all of the movies contributed to the abstraction of the photos and movies even when they were completely ornate. This afternoon the four oldies sketched the garden and house while the other two caught up by filming the interior and exterior of the house.

This morning the conductor of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra came to talk to us about how music relates to architecture and about why he picked the music he did for the September 6th Symphonic show with The Now Device. Later, we tavaled around toun and saw different buildings of Westcotts time. It entertaining yet constructive which cant be said for many educational things.

Today the conductor came to talk about music so I learned about it.
And we walk around Down Town taking pictures of big buildings .

We learned how to present videos using final cut and other video production programs.We captured videos to use in future productions.When we first got to the westcott house we played around and got used to the cameras and the computer programs.Today we walked around the house and shot some video and took a couple of pictures.We used the videos and the pictures to make a sample production using final cut.

most fun:Running around chasing Collin,taking pictures on the high resolution camera, shooting video,and designing video clips on the computer.

Hi I am having fun at the Westcott House
