Doodling with Video

quietly messing about with video tools while exploring the depths of how Star Wars has ruined / greatly enriched my life. if you know, you know.

a processed and layered and trashed scene from Lost River by Ryan Gosling featuring Ben Mendelsohn (and Christina Hendricks!) paired with F**kin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky- as the good lord intended. (you so very are welcome.)

under the pixel trash you can see Mr. Once-a-dancer-always-a-dancer, Mads Mikkelsen killing it in Druk by Thomas Vinterberg paired with a dance challenge version of Bitch Better Have My Money by Rihanna (may Mads always be Riri’s bitch) and ambient techno layers resulting in this sloppy drunken travesty.

voice: a Ewan McGregor sound clip stolen from his reading of The Little Matchstick Girl. (this is the line in the story that guts me most every time.)

character and animation: Adobe

trash effects: yours truly

actions aren’t always louder either

he was laughing

my expression fixed in righteous anger tickled him

when i could catch up, i’d swat him, tell him to stop–

he would not– he does not–

as if my actions could possibly take anything away from him–

he went on and on shouting RAPE! at me–

in mockery of all vulnerable people, of our mother–

shaming himself who would claim to be a man (of god)–

it was only a game out on the schoolyard 

no adult attended to his shouts or my outrage

a joke, a joke–nothing was meant by it

to this day, i choke
