NA: Show Opener, Final

I used moving video because I have never really done so for any particular purpose. This allowed me to capture real textures and forms of the printing world but also gave me a more engaging opener than something such as photos would have. This was pretty difficult for me since I was not used to editing moving footage. This helped me grow as a designer by introducing me to a new media.

I don't know if this was a success or a failure. It's pretty interesting to look at, but I don't think it ended up being something that I wanted it to be.

I enjoyed the ability to choose what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I don't know what I would have done differently if I had to change things. I'd definitely start over if I had the same amount of time, if for no other purpose than to simply see what else I could have come up with.

Less text would have been nice. I know it's already minimalist but less would still have been better or else I just needed to rework it.

NA: Show opener notes and non-story story board.

This is generally how I go about making a project. I doodle and jot down notes in order to get my thoughts on paper, I then set about eliminating stupid ideas or things that are wrong for what I'm trying to go for overall.

For Narrative, I've decided that my show will be called "On The Drying Rack," hosted by Sloan Peterson.

On the Drying Rack
profiling printmakers on the go

I took a bunch of movie clips over the weekend. They consist mostly of ink/printing textures and motion clips of old prints I have in a very old book. I figured the printers my show interviews will want to talk about their process some, most of the time that means there is a historical context to what they do and how they do it (hence the old prints). The "new" textures of the inks that I shot will speak to the current/to-date printers and that this is something on going.

Below are a few of the clips I have edited, not in any particular order or for any set duration. Edited in the raw... so to speak.
