Rebisz & Hill

There was a close tie to which visual audio clip I enjoyed more. "Between You and Me" by Patryk Rebisz uses a stop motion effect in the setting of an already quickly paced and erratic city. The use of multiple perspectives gave the clip a more three dimensional setting. The background melodies assimilated to the mood of the clip or first-person and also the time of day. The perspectives cycle from Boy to Girl to Creep and back to Boy and the artist uses pictures in a picture to decipher location and origin and to connect the two main characters.

I also loved Gary Hill's "Around and About" because it is a familiar take to my approach for a storyboard and use of visuals for my piece. The pictures match up with the syllables and words being spoken in a calming male voice. Window panes, cinderblock walls, rotating fans, a chair and jacket are all disguised by closeup images and harsh angles that give the atmosphere of one small room setting to a stream of consciousness thought of 'disembodied ideas.' I also enjoyed the transitions, highlights, color changes and movements of the pictures across the screen. Although they were simplistic, the really added to the tempo of the piece and also gave a rhythm to the spoken word. I plan to utilize a lot of these techniques in order to deliver my sound and memory project.
