Video Art

So, here is my final project! What are the main technological devices we use every day? We use cell phones, lap tops, and ipads probably 50% of our waking day. Those three devices all bring us closer to other people. Whether it's texting a friend or significant other, checking facebook, watching a youtube video, or even reading the news, these small devices connect such a large world. Than why do we sometimes feel so alone when we have the world at our finger tips? I decided to feature that idea as the concept of our video art. Earlier in the year, I ended a four year relationship with a guy I thought I was going to marry. Now, even though it's a good thing we aren't together, when we first broke up, the hardest thing I had to deal with was having all this technologies as reminders that I am alone. I was constantly checking my phone to see if he called, or texted, or sent me a message on facebook. But because every time I checked the screen was blank, I felt so alone and started to feel like I was going crazy. I know, so dramatic. Well that's the idea behind the video. That feeling of being alone when it is basically impossible for us to ever be alone. 

So enjoy! I edited this in Finalcut and created the music in Garageband. I filmed everything myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veVaIeyaNGc&feature=youtu.be
