Sound, motion, type, thesis

Sound identity project:

Spent the day recording various noises. Squirrels and pigeons in the park made some great sounds. The microphone is amazing. It picks up so many sounds that you can't hear on your own.

Motion graphics:

Oh goodness. This makes me nervous. We need to get our act together on this one.

Typography:

I bought some flying lanterns yesterday- the kind that have a fuel canister or candle at the bottom, and the heat makes them fly! I want to write a message (one letter on each lantern) and record them flying away. I ordered them online so I have to wait for them to arrive.

I also purchased some wire at the hardware store. I am going to make a big type bubble wand, let the wind flow through it, and of course document it through film. I think it could be really beautiful.

I just have to decide what I will write!

Thesis:

Still waiting on a response from Roy, my professor after revising my outline yesterday. He suggested that I focus more on the visual side of pariedoilia. I took out about 5 books related to the topic of optics and the mind at the LCC library, and met a kid who is colorblind who I might ask some questions to enrich the paper.

I think I will go through the books tonight and pick out some passages that help my argument.
