Made this for a video art class last year. It was presented in front of the whole school along side some 12 minute, well done videos with actors and what not. I found this to be aboslutely hilarious. Tell me what you think of it. [media]http://vimeo.com/29891286[/media]
is this what the kids call "random so funni"?
[QUOTE=naos;32783927]is this what the kids call "random so funni"?[/QUOTE] This doesn't contribute anything.
It's pretty bad. What were you trying to achieve? and a motive for doing it? The big black lines around the clouds make it look ugly, and the quality of the images are low res.
[QUOTE=Nlogax;32784631]This doesn't contribute anything.[/QUOTE] You know, there is a clear line between "alternative art" and just dumb shit. Either you're a massive psuedo-hipster wannabe, or you just have an awful imagination and sense of what looks good and what does not. The way to make stuff that is usually not artistic at all into something worth looking at is to have a form of concept within, a semi-sublime message or just some interesting composition.

The assignment was to make a 30 second animation. This animation is a testimony to all the pseudo-meaningful shit out there that you're referring to. It points fun at all those people who think they can create meaning in anything.
You made me spit out my shrimp good job
It's not even pseudo-meaningful it's just a bunch of effects
[QUOTE=Lick;32787693]It's not even pseudo-meaningful it's just a bunch of effects[/QUOTE] Who determines the boundaries of what pseudo-meaningful is and isn't?
The people viewing it. An artist doesn't display art that only has meaning to him, he displays art that other people will find meaning or value in, so it is for them to decide. Anyways, I get what you are getting at with your video. In context I think it would be pretty funny actually.
Sorry but everything considered it is still horrible. Trying to make fun of something in the way that you're trying to is hard and it just looks like you didn't even try. It's not so bad it's good and it's not coming across as intentional.

As I said, I believe this is the wrong environment for this.
Most people got the joke, just that it was so blunt and unimaginative that its not funny. Because parodies has never ever been done before.
at first i was trying to figure out what the joke was then i figured out i knew what the joke was the whole time
