Vido Project: The Enternal Frame

This project was fun to do but very taxing, due to some unseen factors. But I like My interpretation of this video and working with Final Cut was interesting. Any ways, the video has the same message as the original but Instead of dressing up the actor in a wig and making him shave, I decided to just make him wear a suit. This is suppose to enforce the idea that image is everything, that showing a regular guy who has no previous publicity will most likely be ignored. Hence the line in this video " Without which, I would be nothing.

Here's the link to the orignal.

Video Art Reading qustions

1. I remember in one part of the reading that said their was a pecking order form cinema to T.v to Computer generated images. I'm more interested about the last category though, the computer generated images. It seems now several artist use these images in almost all of their art; not only that but images and even CGI seems to be extremely involved in the market. My question is that has this pecking order changed to where CGI is on top of the heap? or is it just reflective of peoples opinions and the times they live in?

2. I've noticed that alot of these art video's convey very individual insight and idea's about there contemporary world. I wonder if music video's could be considered that then since they also try to convey meaning not only in a auditory sense but a visual sense? Or is it more for profit, in that they try to use videos as a marketing tool?
