3 Ideas For Place Video

      1. I will show my feet and the ground as I’m WALKING UPRIGHT through different places.  (Stores, grass, concrete, water, states, countries…)

      2. I will examine a sacred place from my childhood as well as a similar sacred place that I’ve replaced the old place with.  I’ll discuss what I used the old place for and how the new place attempts to recreate the feeling of the old place.

      3. I will explore places that I have changed or made a significant difference.   I will show what the place looks like now and if possible what it used to look like.  This would display a change of place even though it is still essentially the same place.

Places on earth

I think about my place on this earth and in the community I have become a part of and how each person affects ever person they meet.  It's these places that change the lives of the people that inhabit them.  But what is it that really allows us to be in these places?  Is it chance?  Is it fate?  What can I do to change the way these places are perceived?  How do I shape these places and how do they shape me?

Quick video interpretation of "Freewrite My Place"

Freewrite My Place

My hometown is Perryville, MO- about an hour south of St. Louis.  Nothing to do there but get drunk and talk about God.  So I pretty much loved it.  I make paintings.  Well, I guess they're actually painting/drawing/collages.  They're really awesome. No big deal though.  I tried to make a short, silent, black and white film my first semester here and it was completely amazing.  I think.  I'm going to try and experiment with as many different mediums as I possibly can while I'm here.  I would like to make videos about humans- which are animals, drunks- which display this the best, and religion- which I believe is the best thing since boxed wine.
