Prototype Video

The work for this submission is compiled primarily using Premiere Pro [with Photoshop used to manipulate the imagery.]
I have a rich resource of images relating to my knit structures which I have used to endeavour to illustrate the nature and composition of both the construction of the substrate, techniques and strategies; and the subsequent manipulation of these structures to create three dimensional interventions / forms.
It is difficult to choose which sections / images to use and in what order to place them on the Time Line in the program. Suffice it to say, the notion of compossibility, that is, the potential for simultaneity is pivotal to my work. Therefore, circularity and not linearity is fundamental.
I chose to use a sound track to play behind the video and initially I inserted two tracks from a Violin piece by Vivaldi.
The reason for this was as follows: Vivaldi [1678-1741]was known as ‘The Red Priest’ and was, a prolific composer in addition to his religious vocation.
I felt the strains of the violin would mimic, in sound, the path of the yarn in the knitted substrate.
However, although I had 4 attempts to Export this movie, I was not satisfied with the audio reproduction.
Ultimately I wondered if it was the sound track, so I deleted the Vivaldi and substituted the Allegro movement from Bach’s concerto in E, BWV,1042.
Although initially this proved also to be disappointing [so I concluded it wasn’t the recording that was at fault], after I burnt it to a DVD, it seemed to play in Quick Time satisfactorily? Your guess is as good as mine!
