RE: Soviet Montage Theory and You! Part 2 - Methods of Montage
This is freakin' awesome @derosnec. I dabble in videography/editing, so it's not only fascinating but also relevant and useful, as well as inspiring. I almost feel like scrubbing through my random footage and creating a montage, just for the sake of applying your lessons. ;)
side note – I'm increasingly convinced that youtube is trying to hobble playback from this platform. It happened to my open-mic entry (so I re-uploaded to vimeo) and I'm seeing it happen on nearly every single youtube-hosted video I've tried to watch over the last few days. Anyone else noticing this??
yay! I'm glad you're finding it informative! Once you get into the kinds of stories you can tell visually, it becomes pretty fun. (I think anyway, lol!) From one musician to another, it might be a fun exercise to create a visual song - as in, make a silent film, and create a short montage out of pictures, video, and movement. You may be surprised in how you end up "hearing" what you see! In a few weeks I'll actually muse a bit on how I think musical composition and editing are coming from the same part of the brain...
...and yeah, Youtube has been having compression glitches which they've actually acknowledged over the past week. Hopefully they fix it soon - I still can't for the life of me get dTube to work, and honestly I'm not a huge fan of Vimeo :/ blargh!
