GUESSWERKORANGE

So what will the new video project be called.. Not that I've moved on from phase two, but I got hit with a thought last night.. A completely different idea, I was wanting the songs to fit the fractal ideas but they just weren't doing it so instead of forcing the matter I decided to make the visuals fit more visual contemporary as it were.. The song Canyon Carver came to mind for the starting point and the subject matter there would be the arches national park, the pictures that I got there that day.. I had always heard that song while at that park and looking at the videos and still pictures and the idea hit me to do a couple videos of the trips we took to Silverton/Moab and the lot.. The arches park was the initial idea with the trip being another idea.. So the first song/video idea was completed fairly quickly, simply known as "travelog" the song that backed that video is "Flashflood" and although it doesn't completely have the feel I was after, it will do..

Second video is arches with the song "Canyon Carver", influenced by the "Canyon Dreams" video... When I was first starting the video it was looking like there weren't a lot of pictures to chose from.. However after seeing what I had I set the music track up and it all came out about right.. Brought back memories of that day, being around a hundred degrees easily but not to horribly bad just plenty warm.. drink lotsa water.. 


The third video is Silverton having the pictures from the trips there..  the song "Colorado Dawn" being the soundtrack for this one.. The picture session ended up being just about the perfect amount..  Feels good to nail one, although as I have said I'm not sure the music mood fits the video subject perfectly, but as with some of the "infinity project" videos, some of those have grown on me after watching the discs..

Video four has a little bit of a toss together feeling, even the folder name "idea 4 guesswerkorange" makes the overall idea for what it will be a question mark.. Some of the oddest pictures I have taken over the years will  comprise the video with the song Chia Maroon being the soundtrack ... Guesswerkorange turned into a work, taking the better part of two plus hours to complete.. The idea wasn't supposed to be the name of the video but I decided that was as good of a name as any to give it and it kinda fits..   A strange lot of pictures from as far back as my very first ever that I took.. Some experimental shots, and just some oddness.. Add that I used captioning for the first time extensively and you get a pretty original video...  When will these be seen??  Not sure, since they aren't part of the infinity project they could be added to the PNOP music entries just any time.. I figure maybe late January, maybe.. Anyway.. This was just a quick four video blow the afternoon project..  And it was nice to have three strong ideas and a forth that shaped up quickly to have a set like this get completed..
