Premiere Pro, Garageband, Adobe Audition

The stress of daily life and responsibilities kill the childlike wonder and fantasy of people. What happens when we decide to breathe life back into this inner child that lives inside of everyone? For this project, I wanted to focus on the interconnectivity of audio, visual, and emotion. I wanted to create a dreamlike, imaginative feel out of videos through editing. In Youthanasia? I am continuing to build on that idea of creating an atmosphere and story that is built mostly on sound. The sound for this piece is a song that I composed in GarageBand with sound effects taken from either family video or online. I wanted the sound itself to be an important component of the piece, as that is the aspect of video art that I find the most enjoyable. For the visuals, I continued to stay on the surreal theme. I very much enjoy using the effects available to me in Premiere Pro to create a very surreal atmosphere to my videos. I find that this surrealism and abstraction allows for more interpretation from the viewer. For Youthanasia? I really want the viewer to develop their own connection for the piece.
