aight, aight, aight ...

new concept ... coming right outta this here Sound for Dynamic Media course @ The DMI ...

so ... lately ... on my Facebook laugh group, i've been using the smile emoticon as a sort of parenthetical, visual naming element + convention ... so, the name of the group + all that is surrounded [: like this :] in little smileys, right? ... + then on the other more poetry-based Facebook group i started up ( an actual second attempt to eRessucitate the poetry round-robin open mike i had running back in the early '90s, The Sound of Dolphins ) i used a slightly different, but subtly similar convention ... |: something more like this :|, right? these are the written music symbols that surround a repeating set of bars ...

... so ...

... why not create a Score for Laughter? sections of the score would be surrounded by the old [: smiley emoticons like so :] ... + i could use the pitch + other parameters of musicality to really demarcate what i might want a laugh ensemble to produce for me as the laugh conductor ... might be ridiculous, but worth trying out, right? ;]

could be creepy-cool-fun

i took these shots over the weekend to capture some of the conceptuals for my Sound for Dynamic Media course ( taking it by night this summer as part of my grad work through The DMI ) ... we started by capturing audio samples ... then, the idea was to put image representation to the sound ... and now, this week we need to have our first time-based ( video or video-like ) piece ( part 1 of 2 parts ) done by Wednesday ...

my idea ( which came to me shortly after collecting the sound ) is to create some point-of-view visuals from the perspective of some creature ... i'm thinking of making it all in Flash ( since my copy of AfterEffects was completely ass ) ... i'm thinking a nice pinhole-like mask that moves about the screen ... quick scurrying images w/ little stops + starts here + there ... that's the idea that i'm running with for now ... of course, the titles of things come easier to me than the actual work ;] ... so i was thinking of calling it something like automagicCreature # ( inserts #s 1 through whatever for the version # ... or perhaps automagicCreature beta through versions 2.0 ... something sort of software, semiSurreal, nice 'n' chocolatey ) ...
