Young Artists at Work at YBCA: Video Arts Class

A Live Canvas

This video was produced by an art crew from Japan called Rinpa Eshidan, and in it, the artists paint on a Mini Cooper. I chose this particular clip because I have been a fan of their time-lapse videos for a while, and it is great that their work is being noticed by the masses.

I picked this video because every media message has a purpose and I think the authors purpose for this clip is maybe at his house or wherever he stays at the orange always sits in the kitchen and the apple always gets ate first.

This video is one I love for it’s old fashioned texture and colors. I also like the choreography of the whole clip in the dances. It adds to the dramatic feel along with the low lighting and opaque colors and smoke. Read the rest of this entry »

YAAW Thoughts.

I’m definitely glad I decided to reapply to the Young Artists at Work program and will have another interesting year participating in it as an alumni intern. With the new schedule of both the program and myself, I’ll probably have some difficulties making sure I arrive on time. Eventually, that problem will be be fixed once my school’s 3rd quarter starts and I can talk to my mom about arranging a good time to pick me up and take me to BART.  Otherwise, I know that I will be having a great time getting to know the new interns and attending the classes.

It uses scenes from the movie Sin City throughout the video to correspond to the lyrics. Ever since I saw this video, I have been dying to see the actual movie, though I would prefer to find a DVD of it rather than watch it online. Read the rest of this entry »
