6x1 redesign

I'm really not sure how I would redesign 6x1. I, for one, liked it a lot because it exposed me to a lot of different mediums that I really never got a chance to work in. I enjoy a lot of found footage and kind of film fucking, so I want to work with that a lot more, but I wouldn't have that over power the class. I think I would have liked to see some more hands on stuff with film, either shooting on Super 8 or at least doing more direct film manipulation. I kinda also wanted to do some weirder stuff like VJing or other alternative film methods. Overall though, I was really satisfied with the course and I feel like I got a lot of exposure to all kinds of things and really enjoyed the class with you!

Rough Theater

To be honest I'm really not sure what my rough theater is. I know as a filmmaker, the only thing I really like to do for fun is working in the edit lab. I love constructing (or in my case deconstructing) things there. Found footage is what I've been spending most of my time on and I would love to dive into animation soon. I also plan to work a lot with live cinema this summer, which to me, is one of the possible hearts of the rough theater. I think for the most part I'm still trying to figure out my rough theater, but more than that, I'm just trying to have fun with film.

Yes Men Responce

I really like the idea of the Yes Men. They really took advantage of a tool and an art that wasn't fully understood or realized yet (like the Internet). They came along at the right time and, to some extent at least, understood some its power. I always like projects like this that challenge means and conventions. Its almost if you combined an experiment with art and performance. I also liked that it didn't have a real practical or way to show or display to the masses. Yes it was videotaped, but really, in the moment, it was meant for those few dozen people at the meetings. I just like the idea of sending out those small messages even if virtually no one sees it. As a movie though, it felt a little clunky and the editing seemed very strange at times. I think their journey could have been presented and told a lot better. It really makes me think what they do now since people are much more aware and cautions of things on the Internet. Certainly this kind of mistake would not be made today, especially with an organization such as the WTO. I would be curious to look them up.
