with sound (what I was missing Saturday)

Alright. So this past Saturday at critique, I meant to have this video (with sound) ready for it. But a little miscommunication happened. Here it is - comments are appreciated! I'm wondering after the conversations we were having about Gina's sound, and the other sound with my videos if I should take it out, if it is more powerful without it. What I ask you to do is please watch it first with the sound and then without and let me know which may have the best impact. I am looking to tell the viewer how to feel in contrast to the "lip-reading". But perhaps how it is displayed is enough for that and I don't need to aggravate the issue more. 


Anyway, thank you all SO much for your comments on Saturday! They have really helped and I'm excited to keep working!

and...number 3!

Last one of the day for now (no sound yet with this one either).
I am loving this white mask and black lipstick - very ghost/corpse-like. Expect more.

"53"


This is another video and sound from today. In a way, the ideas seem kind of dumb - but it's helping me get through the day too. My dad was 53 when he died...so, simple enough, I counted from 1 to 53, repeating 53 a bunch of times at the end (I'm not even sure how many). It's such a simple idea, and maybe it doesn't work. but like I said, sometimes it just helps to do things and I figured I would let you all know what I'm doing and feel free to give feedback, please.

(April 4th - Improved the sound. Much better!)

happy birthday dad

Today is my dad's birthday. He would be 56. So today, I had off of work and worked on some videos I have been thinking about with the white mask - and I found some black lipstick to go with it! Thank you wet 'n wild. There will be sound to this by the end of the evening, I hope. But just in case I don't get to that, here it is for comments. I'm in the middle of editing more - they will be up soon!
