Sound-Rough Cut

This is an old Burr bush I videotaped with the reflection of the sun shining through. Because it was a windy day I just had to stand still and let nature do her thing.

This is another uncut video I took of the sun shining through helicopter seeds. I liked how the sun shot off rays of light through the transparent seeds.

Drift 2 Production Strategy

1) The area I consider 'promising' would be at the beachfront of Lake Michigan. I ended my Drift 1 at the beach, and will be starting my Drift 2 at the beach. However, I will be choosing a path that veers more North East up the lake so I will not be focusing on the exact spot. The only problem is that when I was previously at the lake it was partially frozen, so I might have a difficult time differentiating the exact locations. In any case, I'm sure I would not be able to record similar sounds or footage because my sounds and pictures all had to do with the frozen water/ice, and there will be no frozen water or ice on my Drift 2 walk, at least I hope not. I am looking forward to recording different water related sounds along the beach, but I will still look for a variety of sounds.

2) I do not want to confine my walk to a specific chosen path, I would rather explore where I feel like walking when I get to my destination. So, for my Drift Strategy I am choosing the Wander strategy.

3) For my 'Two Image Capturing Activities' I have decided my come up with my own ideas.

1. I will generate still and moving imagery of mostly nature or natural scenes/objects.

2. I will generate still and moving imagery of refracting and reflecting lights.
(I would like to say that I changed my second Image Capturing Activity due to the difficulty I had following through with the strategy. I have decided to focus of reflecting and refracting lights because in my search for natural scenes I recorded a lot of footage with the sun and it's reflection on water on plants, which became a huge focus for me.)

Drift 2 Map

I have decided to start my Drift 2 in the approximate area where my Drift 1 ended, the beach front of Lake Michigan. I am hoping to record other nature sounds along with gaining a different aspect of the lake after everything has melted.
