Serreal America was based on several drift walks. My strategy was to look for a way of life, a heartbeat. I have been thinking of the city of Milwaukee as an Organism, something that is alive. I wanted to use the two drift walks one and two to examine and experiment with the things that keep effect Milwaukee.
For the video, Serreal America I was shock as to what it ended up being. I had a totally different idea about how I would capture footage and use it in the editing room. However when I walked up and down my drift area several times a chain reaction started to happen. I started noticing a trend on the street. A particular way of life that stood out. Since I walk my drift area several times a day to get to and from my house. I didn't always have my camera on me but I always carry a note pad and pencil in back pocket. So I recorded the instances I found particulary interesting. So for some parts of the drift walk I used a pencil and paper to record the ideas. These ideas needed to be place into a final video demonstration of my drift walk. So I reanacted them. I do want to note that this did break an element of what I was searching for, I never intended to look for the particular feelings or things. In my ten questions they represent a different idea to things I would look for and think about, but I became completely consumed by the moment of walking up and down the street; I became submersed into an issue, which is leading an obsession.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. I had recieved some critisisim on it because it broke the a rule in the class, and I am sorry. I never intended to break the natural and sparatic rule of the assignment. I really thought I was contributing an element that would not be frown upon.
