JOURNAL: Sporkmaster (Warren Andrews)

  • Speaking in Feelings. 2003-07-30 02:14:02 I knew that I was esoteric in how I perceive things, but this is something that I am forgetting when I make my AMVs. I think I take for granted that the audience will understand how I put together my videos, which is more like a visual diary then a overall story or even theme.

    While I do try to keep a theme it is there because I have such a hard time expressing my thoughts in written and spoken language. The freedom that the audio visuals give me is liberation. I can do more in one minute of song then I could do in ten minutes of spoken word.

    If there was any better example of this it would be in my newest video “When words Fail” As I said in the title that each scene is a example of me in some way, regardless of positive or negative. Some will be obvious while other remain in unclear. I do not think that it is a embarrassment that I am unable to give these thoughts across, but rather it is as there is no way to completely describe in full justice these thought/feelings.

    In a later review by Arigatomyna, she brings up that there is the viewer may have trouble understanding what I am trying to say without having a linear way of presenting the ideas. That unless the person has some idea of how you are using the content then they will most likely not fully understand what is the intent of the video.

    I wonder if I am making my videos too personal to the point that only I understand them in the manner that I wanted to convey. My intent was to used various animes over different videos to express this language of feelings so to speak, where the viewer does have to have watched the anime, but understand the feelings that they get from such images and sounds.

    I can only hope and wait to see of my newest expression can do this.
     
  • Things learned and things still to come 2003-07-22 18:23:58 I think that coming here to this site was a very good choice. I have managed to get the publicity that I did not think was possible by other means. From this I have received great advice from the members that took the time to Op my videos. To this I have tried to make my videos reflect what I have learned. But I think the best piece of knowledge that I have received and the hardest one to accept fully so far is:

    That I am still only beginning.
