Doing artist statements, find it hard to write and have been searching for examples to guide me.

Scripting part, still on progress . . . . .
(exploring)

I am now testing the output of the video, on:
How is the lightning, does it look too dark?
How is the composition setting, do the talents sit too near?
Does the color suit the background environment?
There are many question to be asked and answer, I just listed a few. Somehow I am trying to make the content look like a real world of television addiction people.

This video look simple but had been edited for more than 10 hours. Had tried to put a living room's image as background but it look too distracting so I decided to put a brick background to make the audience focus on the talent/person.

Now I am far from the original schedule.

Finally my recording mini tape successful converts into my computer. My computer didn’t have fire wire hole and found out only one of my house mates have it (she bought a new cpu). I searched a lots of tutorial on how to capture video, the links were very useful but there is no manual guide for the handy cam’s setting.

How to transfer video from handy camcorder to pc using a fire wire cable:

I found this video interesting, just want to share and hope it can help in Ming Jie's installation.

I had difficulty to convert VFS tape into computer. My friend Yoong Pang helped me to capture the video using adobe premier for 1 hour yet he unsuccessful convert it. The adobe premier setting were all correct but the problem is from the handy camera that i borrowed from school. Later need to ask others FA students for help.

I have spend almost 2 hours for looking its keygen and crack, but a lots of them needed to pay or the file broken during the download period. Until now, still waiting for the crack and have to wait 1 hour to finish downloading. So I decided to print screen, it’s a bit blur ~ ~ ~
