I chose to film my hands because of the variety of sounds. I thought the variety of sounds blended well. I also chose the to focus only on the hands because I like the look of the movement. I wanted to loop my videos because the looping brings out the sounds, but I couldn't figure out how to loop the videos.

Video Recreation

I recreated Phil Niblock's "Annie". The original video is of the dancer, Ann Danoff. The video follows her around a cityscape and also cuts to some scenes from the countryside. I filmed on campus for the cityscape and the countryside. My interpretation of the piece is that the woman is daydreaming of being away from the city and her work, she would rather be in the countryside. I can definitely relate to the daydreaming aspect of the video. I also like how the video shows two contrasting worlds- the urban city and nature.
