This video is purely for research purposes for the final piece for this project. The audio is not in sync with the video. I bought the gimbal camera recently. I was determined to use it for this month’s journal entry without having any experiences with video shooting and editing. While trying to fix this editing problem (and not being successful in doing so) I was actually contemplating whether I’m going to use it or not. However it’s a work in progress so I decided to show the otherwise ‘faulty product’ anyways. I want to thank James Burns for being very kind and helping me out with shooting this.
About the idea:
I wanted to test out the the potential of step dancing on sand. I’m interested in the quality of the sound it produces and also what impression does it leave on me visually. Me and James spent one of the very very few November sunny days cycling along the coast towards Barna. Initially I wanted to shoot this on the SIlverstrand beach. On the way there we found this place and make the video there. James had the idea about the walk in the sand and the seaweed making the fabulous crunchy noises. I thought it’s wonderful so we decided to add that before the step dancing part.I’m really content with both the sound of steps on the sand and the visual side of it. Despite the video not being ‘’perfect’’ I consider this a successful part of my research.
