Se oli CRAZY MOON.

.

Kisse and I were seriously stuck with our script. There were gaping holes in it.

Our script writing teacher’s reaction to our script:

LUCKILY we were divided into small groups, and finally it was Atte and Miquel who came up with awesome ideas for the problematic parts! THANKS, GUYS. You’re the best.

Sometimes the only thing you need is another person’s opinion or thought!

Okay, so: the week may have been stressful, but now I’ve got the feeling that things will start rolling! I’m so looking forward to making the short film!

Also, you might wanna watch this:

(It’s two years old but still cool. We were talking about how all images consist of light, yeah?)

.

Yesterday was a pitching day.

Kisse and I have been intensely developing a plot for our short film. A coffee bar can be inspiring!

”And then a voice could suddenly go: ’Hello?'”
”OH YEAAAHHH”

And finally we got to pitch it.
(I looked like a kindergarten teacher??)
The pitching wasn’t really that different from a regular presentation of a school work. Only our own teachers were present, so that must’ve affected my feeling about it.
I kind of expected some people outside our school would be there.

In the afternoon, Mira and I watched Silver Fang OMG
(The line I’m saying is from a finnish video, and I’m not gonna translate it :D HA!)

LATER:

Kisse: OUR FILM GOT CHOSEN!!
WHAT?

A concept image for the film:

Olen vähän myöhässä, mutta minäkin olin siellä!

Eihän tässä ole niistä festareista mitään hups. Mutta hauskaa oli ja saatiin Miskan kanssa myytyä Molskahdusta oikein mukavasti! ENS VUONNA UUSIKSI.

Immediately after the first idea for the sound art piece, I got another one.
FISH’S NIGHT SONG

The Fish’s Night Song is a visual poem written by Christian Morgenstern in 1905, that consists of little curves and lines. Like this:
I think it has a distinct sound. I could try and create it!

In high school we had a performance of the poem, where we made bubbly sounds. It was great fun.

At school I got a third idea.
CONFLICT BETWEEN SOUND AND SIGHT

It could be fun to create a piece with mismatching images and audio.

I’m kind of stuck between these three ideas.
Should I just get a move on and see what happens?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

.

We have a Sound Creativity workshop by Dave Lawrence. We’re supposed to create sound art.

I am a synesthetic.

Many sounds, especially music, evoke a strong feeling of colour, shapes and/or movement in me. About 20% of all synesthetics experience something similar.

The exact reason for this phenomenon is not known, but it is believed to have something to do with excessive neural connections.
The sound of a violin is purple.
(IT’S HARD TO DRAW A VIOLIN!)

Excessive neural connections… Doesn’t sound too good.
OH YES IT DOES! I’M A SUPER HEROOOOOOOO

It was surprisingly hard to explain how it actually feels.

It is more like a sensation of a colour or a movement.

Oh yeah, the sound art piece… I t could be quite fun to see what kinds of sounds can I create with everyday objects, like a coffee machine. And then turn those sounds into drawings or paintings.

And then make people guess which image connects with which sound! HAHA!

BONUS:

Dave’s got something noisy going on.

Like being at a dentist.

.

1. WE’RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT LAB!

2. I got a flu.

So yeah, hello! Finally I’ve got a comic blog. Along with school stuff there will be other things from my life. Or something. Yay!

(Ja vielä: olen Minna, ja aloitin tuossa juuri kolmannen vuoteni OAMK:ssa, ja opiskelen visuaalista suunnittelua. Tänä vuonna opinnot ovat lab-muotoisia, eikä kukaan ihan tunnu tietävän mitä se tarkoittaa. Mutta KYÄ SE SIITÄ. Meitsin labin nimi on oikeasti Sight&Sound-lab. Whoa.)
