Assignment #5 Video Reenactment and Viewing

The video I chose to reinterpret is entitled "Autumnal." It was filmed by experimental filmmaker Scott Nyerges.



My interpretation follows the first two minutes and forty five seconds of the video. It was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, using a variety of lenses and household materials. I edited it using Final Cut Pro 7.

I was not interested in re-creating any of the experimental videos with actors. Wanting something along the lines of Stan Brakhage, I decided on the video by Nyerges. Autumnal is a somewhat disturbing, moving piece, and the music compliments it nicely. I enjoyed trying to re-create the different shots, and I was constantly surprised by the strange shots I was able to get. I don't normally work with such bright colors, so it was fun to edit the different shots and play with them in post-production.
