Film/Video senior Evan Rattenbury created this multi-channel video for CFV 426: Cinematic Multimedia as part of his Individual Study Plan major emphasis.
Evan tells us more:
"The intent was really only to experiment with multiple channels of video and their relation to each other. The music was just kind of a means to an end. Then in the actual process of making it, it became about growing up really. Just a very nostalgic piece. Initially it was going to be called "Life in Bb" but that seemed way too pretentious.
I had the thumb piano and I had the thought of having different video clips represent the individual keys. And then I had all these 8mm home movies that my grand parents had shot that were recently digitized. So I pulled out clips based on the color palette and assigned each one a note on the thumb piano. Then I wrote the music around what I felt the images were conveying.
The thumb piano was recorded with Garage Band and the editing was done in Final Cut Pro."
