Idea for my creative self-portrait

I am trying to come up with some idea for my self-portrait. 

I am definitely going to do it on chest hair. What do you think about me doing it with a split screen? Like Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls. I could talk about my chest hair, living in a metrosexual world, mixed in with old footage from when I've shaved, naired, and actually waxed! OUCH!!

But maybe I could just narrate? I also would like to bring in archived footage from the 1970s. 

I'd love anyone's thoughts on this. 

Thoughts on Music Video (My Rants)

Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!! I don't want to be the producer! I've already been doing that for the past two years! I've produced a honors project, a television show, and now I work for TealTV, as, can you guess? a producer!

I wanted to be the cinematographer so bad! And I'm not crying over it, it's just that I have experience, on my own time, working with film. And I was excited by the chance to maybe get to do it for a class, but no, I have to be the PRODUCER!!!!

I'm still a little bitter, maybe I should have made the slips of paper with my name on it bigger! I was trying to save trees by making small slips. Anyways, I guess I'll survive. I have EXTENSIVE experience with logistics of filmmaking *boring*

I also have access to lights, so I think our group will be good on that.

So, that's all I have to say, I can organize and get equipment, because lord knows I have no hand in the CREATIVE aspects of this project. Just kidding of course, I know that in student productions everyone gets a say on everything.

I'm really not bitter and feel a lot better putting this all out there. I'm actually excited about being a producer. Not!

Response to Assn. 1D

It was fun. I really like doing this part of the project, because I feel much more comfortable in the visual world, than I do in the audio world. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the audio portion and not learn from it, quite the opposite is true; however, I enjoyed this more. I really liked the concept, of making motion out of still images. The fact that three pictures of the same setting was taken, and they had slight variations, meant that when looped, they would create the illusion of jagged motion. This really brought the piece to life for me. I took it from the poets heart and went with the feeling that the sounds gave me, rather than creating a story. This is the first time that I went pure experimental in my approach to a project in this class. I let go of most of my narrative instincts. Overall, I liked how the piece came together. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone elses.

Self Portrait Idea

Let's see, some ideas for my experimental self-portrait? None. Well, not true, I have a few ideas churning in my noggin. I could do one on my hairy chest, and how that got me a lot of attention in ninth grade. Hmmm, I've always been proud of it, maybe I could do something about me being proud, and then having this Metrosexual craze occur. I was also thinking about doing one on my philosophy of life and the world (real hippie stuff), which I have always enjoyed speaking to others about, but I'd have to think a bit about how to translate that onto video. I also have daddy issues like most people do, so maybe I could use that. That reminds me of Austin Powers 3, "Uh oh, someone has some daddy issues!" Lol. Anyways, I also have a lot of deep dark information about myself, that would be interesting to explore. I'll explore them further as I start to use my camera, but this has been a good start.
