RED PORN

Playing around with colour. The original clip was very muted, pastel tones even though a i had bright red lipstick on. I played around with RGB balance and levels to try and make the lips stand out a bit more. Final cut has similar tools to photoshop in this respect so i found it easy to get the look i wanted, although it could be a little less red. I tested the DVD's on a TV earlier and the contrast was ludacris but it turns out it was just that particular TV. phew. A little unhappy with the DVD's, i tried my very best to get them to match up, looping footage and putting similar lip movements at the beginning and end of the dvd's but all of them have a slight glitch.
FCP doesn't like HD footage. I don't like FCP. After watching all the tutorials on the apple website, no, enduring all the tutorials TWICE i still could not burn a dvd, after seeing IT guy he gave me a handout that explained it, missing out 567876 of the steps they tell you to do in the online tutorials. THANK YOU!

this video is a great altered version of the first edit i made. I love that it is essentially the same video it has just been zoomed in and turned around. I put it on youtube, its so moisty and gross like a seacreature. Much like marilyn minter. possibly too much although the display of my work will be vastly different to hers. Hers was situated amongst billboards and advertising, mine will be a little more intimate and less in your face than her work. I feel her work is quite removed from the human body whereas mine looks very visceral but it confuses which body part you are looking at.

beautious
im gonna be honest... its a little creepy yea
Wow, cool. Strange, but very cool.
imagine how many yuk ppl will touch their bits watchin that. eeekk
wasnt doing anything untoward, watched with interest mingled with that mixture of disgust and fascination which seems to be appropriate.

alterations explorations in images and composition

powder puff. This nicely formed little ball looks a lot less menacing than the unruly mass of tangled hair it began as. It's more inviting to touch because it seems to have a shape and hence is made with purpose/intent and is not discarded body waste.
green. The fingers are posed weirdly, like waiting for something rather than grasping at the edge of the bath.
hair could probably do with a wash/cut/dye but i can't be flucked
oooh a vignette. I love the reflection you can see in the metal of the bathroom sink. There is a lot i think that can be explored in this room with the mirrors and other shiny surfaces. Very feminist and abject, not so much the political activist path I was heading towards.
blurry what could this be?? I like the warmth and familiarity of this photo. I blurred it more because I didn't want it to be too identifiable.
dead skin, decay, death, waste. These tones convey that feeling and transform the body into something unearthly. Churr photoshop i heart you.
