video project proposal

media:  digital video, still drawings

equipment required:  computer with internet access, overhead projector, transparencies

                the concept for my idea is to overlap drawings onto a video background. the drawing will be made on transparencies and projected onto an already playing video. the video footage will consist of the background and the drawings will consist of the foreground.  there is an aspect of performance with this piece as i am changing the drawings myself as the video is playing. this project relates to the theme of intermedia as there are three prominent elements utilized: video, drawing, and performance. i expect the piece to run approximately 3 to 5 minutes. i do not yet have any ideas for content but i would like to explore juxtaposition of two themes.

the equipment required is a digital projector and an overhead projector. these projectors will be set up to project onto the same screen.

a challenge i expect is that the drawings won’t be visible on the video. if this problem arises, i will turn down the brightness of the video.  another challenge I will face is to make the drawings fit the moving background.
