Something beautiful
My final project for the class will be a supercut montage of mostly all of the videos that were either watched in class or watched at home on the syllabus that contain somewhere in the video the phrase "something beautiful." The inspiration for this project comes straight from Steve Roggenbuck's video "make something beautiful before you are dead (2012)." So, I will answer Roggenbuck's request by creating "Something Beautiful." I will watch the videos and try to find in them some form of those words: either literally using those specific words that someone said or visually as well. Also, this project does not have to be on just YouTube. I'm thinking about extending it to other social media websites, or also on newhive. Another thought that could go along with this would be creating a post-digital object that accompanies the video in some way. One more way I could add on to this project would be to "find" in the critical sources any instances of the words "something beautiful." Ultimately, what I want to accomplish with this final project is to deform the passionate claim made by Roggenbuck and see if by combining the videos that contain in them either the words "something" or "beautiful" they make the end product dissonant or, in fact, beautiful.
