LEAGUE TIME
Fuck macs. I created this piece by simply filming myself playing League of Legends in various angles in the dark and then editing them together in a pseudo-stylistic way. My room is decently large, but pretty much all of my time is spent at the computer desk and on my computer, so that's the only place I show. There is no sound, you can't hear ANYTHING with my headphones on except for the game noise. So I decided to not have sound to give the impression of what I DON'T hear in my room. I usually don't do these type of movies, abstract type movies, so this is fairly abstract for me.
The meaning I'm trying to convey is a question of activity vs. inactivity. As you can see on my keyboard, mouse, screens that there is action going on, but my face remains stern and relaxed. So while I'm doing a lot of things in game, I'm not really doing much physically. Also, is a small sense of loneliness. My girlfriend is actually asleep in the room with me, along with my dog. But they are completely ignored while I play the game.

Video project location
The location for my video will be the space I'm in the majority of the day, in front of my computer. Pretty much all of my free time is spent at my computer desk either play games, watching movies, writing, whatever. So this is the place I'm most familiar with.

Welcome to Summoner's Rift
Here is my found sound project. These sounds were found in my everyday environment: my room. I recorded some sound clips from the video game League of Legends and put them together to get the sense of an entire game (which is normally about thirty minutes long on average) down to one minute. I've already done a project like this before, so I wanted to take a different approach this time. Instead of creating a mood or space with seemingly random sounds, I wanted to stick to a linear narrative. There's a sense of naturalness to the piece because of the clicky-clacks of my mouse and keyboard. It adds to the ambiance and creates a very isolated and almost lonely space.
