Video: All the Wrong Reasons A subconscious video fantasy by Jeff Scher. Music by Shay Lynch.
Jeff Scher writes, "Everyone makes experimental films when they dream. "Dreams are picture-driven, non-linear quilts of movie-like moments sprinkled with cryptic epiphanies. They play nightly in the private cinema of your head but the rub is the audience must be asleep. Then again, maybe sleep, or at least the suspension of conscious thought, is the ideal state for entering such a movie. "'All the Wrong Reasons' is an experiment in making a film that feels as if it has percolated up from the subconscious; a dream you can watch with your eyes open. It’s one of those big cathartic dreams, a labyrinth of fleeting moments full of metaphor and mischief. I wanted it to feel like a bumpy roller coaster ride in and out of the dark side of the brain where all the wrong reasons reside. And, as with all dreams, the meaning and significance are open to interpretation. "There are almost 3,000 paintings and collages in this film. I used rapidly changing color to give a shimmer to the animation and lots of collage to create a visually percussive texture. Shay Lynch's score pulls all of the wildly disparate images together." Jeff Scher is a painter who makes experimental films and an experimental filmmaker who paints. His work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and the Hirshhorn Museum, and has been screened at the Guggenheim Museum, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and at many film festivals around the world, including opening night at the New York Film Festival. Mr. Scher has also had two solo shows of his paintings, which have also been included in many group shows in New York galleries. Additionally, he has created commissioned work for HBO, HBO Family, PBS, the Sundance Channel and more. Mr. Scher teaches graduate courses at the School of Visual Arts and will be joining the faculty at NYU Tisch School of the Arts Kanbar Institute of Film & Television's Animation program in the fall. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two sons. Another video by Jeff Scher L'Eau Life, an animated film. Music by Shay LynchRegarding this video Jeff Scher writes, "I wanted to get the feel of water and the emotion of being in it, while capturing the water action moments that are the most fun to draw: jumping, swimming, falling in and climbing out. Because I stuck to these highlights and cut quickly, the film developed a momentum that began to feel almost hypnotic, but happily so. As it evolved it became a celebration of water and summer. "The direction I gave Shay Lynch in composing the music was to think about a the cascading epiphanies of Vivaldi. The music he wrote perfectly celebrates the joy of being in water." Morphing video art
I did a search on YouTube for digitalart and came up with a surprising find: morphed video art. Here is one of the best of them.
I have no idea how this video was done. It is based on female portraits in western art over a 500 year history. The music
is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma.
This video was nominated as Most Creative Video 2007 YouTube Awards.
I played with morphing software years ago but could never do anything like this. I can only suggest that the artist, Philip Scott Johnson,
scanned these portaits into his computer, then took immaculate care, patience and precision to seamlessly morph the portraits.
This video runs for almost three minutes.
