My Spring Quarter project is titled Kanaf Tzitzit. Kanaf tzitzit is translated from Hebrew as Corner Tassels. Moses, in the book of Numbers chapter 15, commands his people to attach corner tassels to their garments so they will be constantly visually reminded to live as God created them to live. This is my corner tassel. This video is my own personal reflection of what it means to live as God created me to live. My piece is divided into three segments titled Core, Fix, and Vision.
Core is an abstract representation of the concept of sin and how it permeates my life. It is a montage of imagery that intends to create a feeling of being consumed and taking over. I shot this on 16mm film during fall quarter.
Fix is a commentary on religious tradition. Our Christian culture has not embraced the sacraments laid down by Jesus Christ as a blessing, but rather treat them as another obligation. Obligation, not celebration. This video serves to ask why exactly do people go to church every Sunday? Is it to praise God in a community of believers who can offer support and aid in your growth in the Holy Spirit? In my own experience, it is much less than that; it is someone fulfilling a routine that is as common and tedious as balancing a checkbook or going grocery shopping. People every Sunday morning just go to church and get their weekly Jesus fix.
Vision is a more positive outlook on the joys of being a Christian. It starts with a story from the bible about a blind man getting sight. It then, quit literally, shows a girl getting sight from her a Jesus figure. This serves to represent the journey I have taken in order to understand God and how through faith we will be given insight into truths.
The three pieces stand to serve as my commentary on living as God created me to live. This is my kanaf tzitzit.

Week 10 critique notes
Good Metaphor in Fix
Good use of text
Visual richness in Fix
The music distracts in Vision
Foley sound in Vision would help connect the images and sound
Raise the voice levels

help me live out my vision...
For the third video, I want the journey to end with the person going up that stair case on the west side. It is cool looking. I want it to start in the woods, then using fancy editing techniques, make it seem as though this stair case is in the woods.
I still don't have a solid ending.
I want to film week six.
I am struggling building a soundtrack. I can hear what I want it to sound like in my head, but I am having trouble trying to find sounds to record that will live out my vision.
If you have any ideas for sounds that make you think "A cog in a machine" let me know!!!!
