INSTRUCTIONS
ASPECT 1: Google Yourself!
Verdict? I am not online. There are only two hits with my full name. I try to not put my name on anything online. But it really isn't good that one of them is an Anime Forum for a Club I joined. I would rather my name not be online at all in case I decided to do something important in the future I didn't want what I did on the internet to be my downfall.
The other result was on a website that just has everyone in US' name and their city. It's annoying but far from a frame-worthy information.
ASPECT 2: What is Lynchian?
To use the Lynchian style is to create a movie for less recognized senses. That means, to create a movie which you follow along with other functions of your mind that do not get exercised as much as the ones we use for anything we view in the world.
More to come on Lynchian style...

P2P in Class Day
And then VJ Future Worker Girl said:
My Given Files
With this set up I had successfully set up my basic traits and neatly cleared away the more shady things that rhyme with "Forchun". I have games, things to use for digital art, movies, anime and even wallpapers for everyone.
I don't think any of it got taken. I don't feel bad though. At least the Luminaria pictures went and I finally go t to give that picture to Keitaro and Kristin.
My Received Files
Though I was Lucky enough to find The Malice Mizer song I have been looking for (Thanks Josh). I came to realize that what I was most interested was the works of the other students and to watch them again. Especially T&K's Closed Circuit (2008) Piece.
Though I meddled with some more movies and a few interesting pictures that The Professor provided I figured the ability to destructure and analyze the works of my peers was the biggest payoff for the event.
Let there be Filesharing!And it was so. All the students fluttered around their digital ones and zeros and picked out which they thought would place the best image they would want in the minds of their fellow classmates.

Ruminalia
Through the entire course of the day I pronounced my R's as L's and vice versa. I must thank Chintan for putting up with this.
And so it happened. As if it were a Game show I was here, standing in a festival with a ttag around my neck that read "artist". I have always wanted a tag. Weather it be one at an Otaku convention or even a backstage pass, I just wanted something on my neck that says "I know what I'm doing so don't talk to me/talk to me".
Sadly, I don't think my peers shared the same enthusiasm over their badges that I did. Don't be deceived by their smile.
There was so much going on and sadly most things were left out like the orchestra, musicians, artists, including the guy who was painting on the spot! I spent most of my time against my Chintans will, in the Movie place where I enjoyed the crappy stop motion movies of High school kids (The oxymoron is expected). Also I was lucky to have witnessed "A Story About Bob"... an amazing movie which I have become a huge fan of... maybe because the creator was about my age or because it seemed like I could learn from him, but for whatever reason I want to purchase it on DVD.
The truth is, even after 3 weeks later I haven't completely Digested the event. I still think of it every night so there really isn't anything I can conclude with. I can mention The Spiderman Lucha Wrestler Hero guy, The Unbeleivably entertaining guy with a parrot, or even the Lazer show. Anyway you were there too so you probably understand what I feel already.

OXYMORON!
Nurture Boy
(Stereotypically feminine attribute, a young male)
I guess the title comes from DJ Worker Girl. The Proffessor by that name, said that it is a play on "working for the future" which is far from I imagined. I figured that the options for naming yourself DJ Worker Girl were either:
A. The slightly contadicting nature of a female in the workforce.
B. The inevitable future where one becomes less artistic for the sake of making money to live a comfortable life.
I enjoyed the first reason more and for that reason I chose Nurture (The caring, feminine emotion that is usually reserved for women or mothers) and boy (the opposite of Girl)
LETS MOVE ON...
Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job
I have always adored adult swim for their complete deviation from the normal television entertainment. After the anime addicts of america have had their fill and left, adult swim has a lot of time to show cartoons and shows that are truly entertaining in a manner that can be found no where else on television and you might be hard pressed to even find it online.
Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job (must be said completely) is one of those shows. However I single it out because it goes even farther away from television entertainment while at the same time using the form of old television techniques. The video above is a typical example of their techniques.
I'm considering doing my study of an artist on Tim and Eric specifically for their show Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job.

The Struggle to Begin
I find it hard talking about anything here. I've come to the realization that the only reason anyone will read about you is if you make yourself important enough to do so. Weather you are reallu important or not is unnecessary information. Most of the time I've learnt to do that through comedy. But writing comedy on a journal is more of a hassle than I imagined.
I always considered reading the other classmates blogs to get and idea but I don't have the link. I never got the link. I should probably send an email asking for the link. In the mean time I have wasted too much time and now have to type something. Maybe I should write about how scary it is that I am making videos. Its odd I understand the logic of these videos and have been watching the likes of them long before I found out they were art.
The GIJoe PSAs were hilarious and I was suprised to find them labelled as video art. All of a sudden the entire video art scene seems bigger than me and I can't seem to focus.
Some of the works are serious. They make me feel that I will never be taken serious unless I create something that is deep or experimental. The only solution for me, being unserious by nature, is to create extremely experimental works while maintaining my light heartedness by saying jokes. Besides when you say jokes people tend to disregard your flaws. Thats what most overweight people gravitate to. It's an excellent strategy.
I shouldnt complain though. This class is the only one giving me great feedback. The other art classes are somewhat draining my soul and I dont even want to think about my Baroque History class.
I'll have to see how far I come.
Now back to animating.
