A windy day on the plains in color or if you'd prefer an earlier version without the sound effects and in sepia,  

  Where do you want to go ... up, down or to another part of town? I enter the transportation device at the downtown river walk and exit at the university library on campus.

  My single take project with AJ Anderson and Creative commons music by Red Star Martyrs.

I'm looking for the King or Queen of the silver screen. (Failing that someone who can walk about ten feet without tripping over.) It's for the single shot piece that I'd like to make at the University campus library or Rawlings library on the south side of town. You can choose. All I want to do is record you asking for the film section, then picking out a book entitled 'How to film a single take short film.' and check it out as the camera follows you from around the other side of the book shelf & that is it. There's no cash being offered, but the Oscars are calling your name. However in exchange for your time I can volunteer mine, if you need a spare pair of hands in front of or behind the camera, or are stuck for ideas for your film (I've got a bunch bubbling away in the back of my mind) I'm willing to help you out.

Loosely based on my original idea submission this film has been made to include a predetermined number of scenes that have to be exactly 12, 6, 6, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 6, 6 & 12 seconds long and can be played in a seamless loop. It was recorded on a standard GoPro camera so the film quality is limited to standard definition. The music is a creative commons licensed piece by Blue Dot Sessions.   

 For this film I did a little research on the pacing of scenes. While I do not yet know the exact content that the video will show, I have found that symmetry and pattern are important elements in film. For that reason, I have come up with a semi repetitive and symmetrical timing scheme (in seconds): 3.9.6.3.3.6.1.6.3.3.6.9.3 I am curious to see what I can fit into this sequence and the assigned sequence. I also hope to experiment with rhythm in sound in some of these pieces if not all.
