Alex Prager has a series of video portraits on the New York Times that is absolutely haunting and excellent. I love the idea of using a minute or so of film to capture an idea, a portrait, with stunning visuals. It adds a layer of cinematography to a portrait that makes for a really compelling artistic piece. I could see this as a ds106 assignment for sure. Make sure to watch them all!
Tim I don’t know if we need to give Jim Groom any more excuses to role play anything or anyone. But if we must for ds106, play the villian, hero, bystander well I will put myself out there.
And as for the portraits, my personal favorite is the welly, well, well of Rooney Mara for using Jean Cocteau’s backwards film technique welly, well, well used in his film Orpheus.
We must ds106 this into an assignment!
