Looking Out the Window

Effects from Chad M on Vimeo.


The footage from this piece was shot from the window to the highway outside.  I intentionally used a shot that contained more cars driving by to increase the intensity of motion in the shot.  The flow of the piece is erratic and it jumps to different effects from one shot to another.  Despite the erratic pace of the piece, creating it was a challenge in patience.  The strain on the computer with this type of workload was enough to bring it to its knees.

The parts that worked the best in this piece were the color distortion shots with the glassy look.  The limits of the effects are not quite reached in the video.  I chose to show restraint to keep the perspective in a more realistic viewpoint.  The viewer of this piece stays grounded in reality because the cars and other videos are not distorted enough to lose track of what they are.
