Initial video experiment as development from my drawings and prints

Earth Flesh

This was the first video experiment of the series and was my first time using Adobe After Effects. The result was particularly exploratory and diverse as I was using a wide range of effects with full force to test the capabilities of the program. However the piece turned out to be very interesting with multiple close up shots heavily distorted and layered. Colour wise I removed the blue and green hues with the Colour Correction effect to create a general red display throughout ranging from bright contrasting reds to more earthy reddish-brown tones which were more melded together.

Colour was a particularly prominent aspect of this piece, which here could refer to the primal archaic earthy tones of the body.

In these video experiments I have created a series of dynamic collages continuing this theme of transformation and fluidity in sex, sexuality and the body. The videos have a general abstract and spontaneous style.
