Come into My world MV – Kylie Minogue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63vqob-MljQ

 

A music video featuring Kylie Minogue, every time the camera makes a complete cycle a duplicate of her would appear in the scene. An example of using a person as a data and play around with a narrative with editing.

The Hardest Button to Button MV – The White Stripe

Combining regular video with stop motion, using each drum set and guitar set as a source and repetitively appear by the beats. Another example of using material and turn it into a source / data and playing around with music or narrative through editing.

​

Response:

Using myself as a source (the material) and edit each action to a loop. Each action overlays to another until the end loops back to the beginning.

 

Reflection: 

I actually messed up, the source video when I was walking in, I suppose to cover up the whole screen to make the transition easier. In this case, if I have to make it like the example “Come into My World” I will need to mask it, or even better, doing it with a green/blue screen. So, the easier way of doing it right now is cross fading it.
