Its finally Summer…and time to make work!

June 4, 2009 By maryrachel 1 Comment

Ahhhh…gotta love June.  Especially June in Chicago.  The joy of breaking out of hibernation and finally seeing friends.  Chicago summers are addictive.  Then winter comes back, but I won’t think about that right now.

The final critiques are done, grades in,  and I’m ready to do some traveling and art-making.   In a couple days I’m going to rural Nova Scotia with my family.  I’m excited to be forcibly detached from my computer and blackberry, be around some big trees, and finally learn how to fly-fish properly.  (and no, I will not be bringing the fish camera, but am bringing the “real” camera for a project I’ll tell you about later)

In March I had the opportunity to escape winter and go Down South for a quick trip.  My dad and I went in on a new fish surveillance camera.  I  did a brief test and left it at the Lake for a longer visit in July.  I suspect my dad will get it out sooner.  I have to figure out how the new floating dock so this video is definitely an outtake.   Look closely and you’ll see some minnows.   I’m just happy that the quality of the footage is still kind of crappy…..refractory…….magical.

Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale!

April 20, 2009 By maryrachel Leave a Comment

It is official.  6+ will be showing its latest project with the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the International Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale this August.

I will be spending the next 2 months building the project DVD and turning the English subtitles into Korean subtitles.   Does anyone have any suggestions for inserting the Korean translations into the videos? I’m editing in Final Cut.

If you have any suggestions please shoot me an email.video_still3

How I operate during punishing Chicago winters

March 30, 2009 By maryrachel 2 Comments

I hibernate in post-production land and keep company with the Color program from FCP Studio.  Since I have very little control over the surveillance itself (which quite frankly is the beauty of it),  it helps to tinker with gamma and curves.  Youtube is having its way with my file compression, but I can see a big difference already.  More fishing and recording this summer, editing in fall, and then hopefully installation time next winter!
