I’ve been watching a lot of videos by Jane Eastlight recently. She works closely with musicians, often directing a few videos for them. I can see myself moving into that direction. As mentioned in a previous post, I want to work with the Potatoheadz guys, which will hopefully allow me to continue making. Having been exposed to their prolific musical production, I want to apply that same constant approach to the videos I create.
Eastlight’s videos are a combination of found footage and experimental design. Most of her videos interact less with the music than Oskar Fischinger’s An Optical Poem (see earlier post), but it’s easy to immerse yourself into her work. Here are a select few:
