[LIPP] Cell phone footage

04 Feb 2020

Posted under: LIPP; ITP;

After taking footage at arbitrary locations through the city and in my apartment over the past week, I realized I’ve been shooting things similar to what I am always attracted to. With a few exceptions, all the videos seem fit into one of these broad categories: linear motion (e.g. pointing the camera out the window of a train or car), water, circular motion (e.g. a record player) and landscape.

This realization made me revisit the history of videos on my phone, since December 2016, and pick the ones that roughly fit these themes as a way of building a larger library. I came up with a few other categories (eyes, flickers, forward motion) and clustered together clips from videos belonging to three of the themes: linear motion, water and landscape. Below are the results. I didn’t take the time to cluster the other ones together, but I will likely be using them throughout the class.

I can make the library of footage available on Dropbox or Google Drive as well if needed.
