White Blur from Christopher Galasso on Vimeo.

This is something I created for my experimental video class a few months ago.
The assignment was to create an alternative way of seeing.

In this video, I started with an audio track, "White Blur" by Aphex Twin. I split the audio into two tracks, one with boosted treble and one with boosted bass. I then ( Read more... )

Window Sill from Christopher Galasso on Vimeo.

This was an assignment for my Film Forum: Dance and Media class. We shot raw footage of a dancer and were given the task of editing it in any way we saw fit.
I unfortunately missed the day we filmed the dancer, but made do with the footage I received.

Echoes and Coral v.1 from Christopher Galasso on Vimeo.

This is something I was messing around with for one of my classes. Nothing too extreme going on. It stops kind of suddenly because it was late and I was tired. I might finish it out. Maybe not.

Ability/Disability from Christopher Galasso on Vimeo.

My school hosted a drawing marathon in which all students in the college of art and design participated in various workshops in place of their usual studio classes.
Those not interested in the 'drawing' aspect of the marathon were invited to document by way of film, video, or photography.

Solitary Hotel from Christopher Galasso on Vimeo.

Our assignment was to create a 'chase sequence' of any caliber. I still have some shots to pick up and I have to tweak the vignette a little because it looks funny at some parts, but here you have it.

Starring:
Young Woman - Megan Pisors
Young Man - Me

As usual, hd version available at Vimeo.

Couple things before I shoot myself go to bed.

Fun albeit busy week. mofo69 came down for his annual six flags trip, so we went on Friday and Saturday. Kingda Ka is still fun. El Toro is still the best ride in the world. The new Dark Knight "roller coaster" is spectacularly underwhelming. It's nothing more than a glorified Crazy Mouse roller ( Read more... )

My animation critique was supposed to be at 215 so I got here at 215 so that I didn't have to sit around and wait. I'm much less confident with my animation work this semester than I was with my film work so I wanted to just come in, get it done, and leave ( Read more... )

An early version of my film final. Still a lot more work to be done, a la color grading, deinterlacing, audio balancing, etc. I also have to make some more cuts and add ambient sound ( Read more... )

So my summer class in Italy - I have to take out a loan to pay for it and I got declined, which I'm not totally surprised about. It's not that I have bad credit, I just don't have much. So about a week later, I brought my brother in with me so that he could cosign for me. He has really really good credit and owns a house and that whole nine, but ( Read more... )
