Process of Making Stills from VHS Tapes
Making stills from old home videos has been sort of a surreal experience. I feel like I am watching a family that doesn't exist anymore. It is as if that time period didn't even take place on this planet. I am creating "new", old, family photos. Drawing connections from the past to the present is an emotionally challenging task. I am beginning to journal while working on this project.
Thesis Proposal
My family has undergone many changes since I have been away at college. Any time I return home during breaks at school, it does not feel like home. While I have been away, my parents divorced, the house I grew up in was sold, and my younger sister has started a life of her own. I have not been a part of any of it. I want to plan my thesis around discovering my new family dynamic as well as comparing it to past memories. Making this thesis will be something very important to me serving as sort of an archive and testament to my family.
I want to utilize video, sound, and photography throughout my thesis. I am interested in multimedia. My main goal is to constantly be working to find which illustrates my project best.
