self critique

I’m satisfied with what I got done in the time frame overall but there is a lot of work that needed to be done. The first piece I was able to get the type to react how I intended. Although I wish the background clarity could be a bit cleaner and clearer. The sound was okay but was missing a filler tone to smooth out those silent moments. For the second piece I was able to get the background how I wanted but not the type. I wanted to integrate the type more in the background to make it feel more organic.

My thought process behind the sound may sound random but it is not. I looked for sounds that replicated the motion of the background but contrasted it visually. A method Stein used to create the stanzas in her work. Taking similar sounding words with contrasting meanings and putting them together. I think I was able to visually show Steins work with out being as literal. 
The Materials I used to create the sound was a lighter dropping. A zipper being zipped. Water drops hitting a puddle of water. The first video I used the footage from the water drops to create the background. For the second piece the imagery is sawdust bouncing on a plate.
