Exquisite Corpse--Extra Credit

This project was interesting because it brought different viewpoints and creative styles to the paper that we were working with. I always have an interest in collaboration projects, because when multiple people come together with the resources at hand, beautiful and raw work can come from it.

I'd really like to look more into projects like this one, where people can collaborate and build together with hints of what the other has left. I think it would be even more rewarding to work with people who are excited about the project and want to bring their styles into view.

Flipbook

Still working on the audio and details of pages, but here is the majority of my flipbook for class. The concept of a wineglass girl was one I've been thinking about since high school, and I'm glad I was able to do something involving it finally. The girl, glass, vase and candle are all supposed to be representative of a romanticized and idealized feeling. The girl seems fragile and is made of glass, but then later blooms flowers because she holds such beauty. Strength is held in this beauty, which is why most of the images are in black and white, until it comes to the fire on the candle and the flowers from her mind.

Aria by Pjotr Sapegin

At first, I didn't understand the short at all. Even so, I felt sympathetic towards Butterfly, as she was betrayed by her 'love.' I felt longing as she waited and sadness as she wept. Butterfly waited for Pinkerton, her happiness depending on him. Although he was all she knew, it just shows how innocent/naive she was. Regardless, she intended on sharing her future with him. When he tossed her aside, however, the one person who she viewed the world of, she didn't see any validity in her joy. I interpret the short to explain the way that life, love, happiness, trust... it's all so fragile at the end of the day. If a person can live with love in their hearts, happiness in their souls, and still manage to place trust in others around them, then they put themselves in a vulnerable state. At the end of the day though, aren't those some of the key components of living?
