Question

ISOLATION

I shot stuff out window. 15 sec spot called 'isolation'. Did the reverse the other day. Used camera tape for the blinds. Most boring 15 secs in the world.

Others might be doing something similar ... expressing in some way their feeling of isolation.

We see people singing and dancing and promoting themselves on social media but very few thoughtful and provocative displays of what isolation means to mental health and the feeling of loneliness.

 

If you feel like it, add something to this thread about your own sense of 'isolation'.

    This is what my new 'locked out' screen looks like... when I click on it I am prompted by win 10 to enter a pin number to get into my computer. Sometimes I just look at it and don't wanna go into computer anymore... cause I'm happy looking at the art work.

    The screen on computer has white text saying date time and some other stuff.. which works well on the grey background... easy to see.

    thanks but it turns out that the grey makes it easy to see the white text ( time and date and those little icons on bottom right ). It's nice looking on the computer. Thanks a lot...as I like it very much.

    the really nice thing about it ( the bottom one ) is that the creativity is growing 'through' a human, from the earth and through human, into elements ( line, repitition ( like a tree or plant )) and reaching up sorta... it's really nice.

    the human is not you really, the artist, it's more like ME, the person looking at what you did. I like it.

    : )

    I guess that's what connects people who share stuff.

    Thank you, and I agree it's good for us to share our creative output. Nobody else quite "gets" us!

    this is the pic I use now. original bmpcc ( not 4k) with a full chip nikkor 300mm on it...so it became about 900mm. shot across back yard of apt. building ( to house across the lake ).

     

    I like your graphic better but it's OK if you don't want give away stuff for nothing.

    Hi,

    Thank you! I just sent it to you in a DM,  not sure if that was the way to send or not. It's ok, I just made it for an Instagram post, so it's 600x600 72dpi. I just noticed it has my copyright notice though. Let me know if you'd like that to be less visible. It's a combination of two separate images I sell for microstock. Anyway I'm glad you like it!

    pony tail can you send me a jpg at full HD 72 ppi of the 'imagination' graphic ? I want to use it as my startup screen when I boot the laptop in win 10. ( where you enter your pin after clicking it ).

    I won't share with anyone else unless I ask first.

     

    went food shopping and again they had no toilet paper. Got a truck load yesterday and it was all gone by noon.

     

    looks like paper towels are gonna be the next step for me. not good for sewer pipes.

    also they had like ZERO campbells soups... gone. and they can't get more right now.

     

    so your graphic will cheer me up.

     

    🙂

    took curse off first clip

    I guess you're right... creative types kinda 'express' themselves somehow ( song, dance, drawing, painting, media, etc. ) and it at least gives opportunity to try and stay human during hard times.

    Not because of the 'message' as much as the use of semiotic ( communication ? ).  I couldn't care less about the stupid isolation thing as a specific message but do care about trying to do the best I can to just say it. Kinda like a bird singing maybe. No clue why but just do it.

    Thanks for yappin 

    🙂

    thanks pony tail. I fixed the 1st clip blown out window a little... levels... to get in ballpark .. and I had to go into media pool and bring in the original ( uncut ) clip and apply node ( not shared.... shared nodes apparently HATE working on the same clip that has an adjacent cut )

    It's 10 secs now.. lost a second with new replacement and I don't care. 

    Getting tired of this shelter in place stuff.

     

    😞

    what a learning experience !

    I found out you can't mess around with a shared node ... just make another node for more adjustments to it.

    Also found out Vimeo can be really screwed up sometimes ( links to videos ).

     

    here is the drum hit added to last word 'down'.

     

    Today I'll mess around with that first clip again ( it has a cut in it which didn't work right aesthetically and that's where the shared node stuff comes in,
