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

Glitch

October has been a month dedicated to glitchtober on instagram! (And keeping depression at bay.)

As with most communities, I’ve been shy to interact with glitch people. I don’t know enough about programming languages, software, or hardware… Blah blah.. listen to me and my insecurities blaaahhhh-

I challenged myself this time to participate in the community. And, because I am me, I made it even less relatable to anyone! 

I incorporated another thing I have been appreciating recently: acting performances by Lars Mikkelsen.

Yup. I like glitch. 

And, yup, I have a professional crush on Lars Mikkelsen.

Why not mash these things together?  The absurdity tickled my brain. And mine alone, it seems

For glitchtober there is a prompt given each day for artists to interpret so I am guilty of spending hours combing through Lars’ work for scenes to fit each prompt. (Thank the maker for pirated materials on the internet! ☠ ) Naturally, after spending a month with his characters I am an even bigger fan. Lars has an Emmy for a reason!    

Yeah, I know, how very hipster of me to stan the “obscure” famous people: Ko Murobushi, Yukio Waguri… and now tm’s got yet another “old man” performer influence running in their head. Heaven help my sanity.

Why am I like this?! I scream into the void. 

Because it’s lonely trying to share and having this feeling like you suck at it-

Oh, great. 

Here is my depression again.

Now I’m going to start bitching about how everything is horrible.

Ugh. Excuse me while I go back to pixel trashing things so I don’t have to think about being a trash misfit (hashtag trash daddy!), misaligned with the rest of the universe. 

If you are curious, look up @mrmzther on Instagram to see what a mess I made.
