‘Project: Warbler’ Preperation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I started off this\u00a02-week\u00a0preparation\u00a0session by downloading\u00a0all\u00a0the current files linked to the project. Since\u00a0\u2018Project: Warbler\u2019 (not the official title but I\u00a0will be\u00a0using until we get closer to the deadline) already had a previous video made, I downloaded\u00a0the over\u00a0500\u00a0files and sorted through their content to figure out what was usable, unusable,\u00a0and what still needed to be collected. I had already gotten ahold of one of IWER\u2019s\u00a0Lab Managers, Andrew Joesoef, and requested his\u00a0assistance\u00a0with collecting drone footage throughout the construction progress at various stages over the summer.\u00a0However, there was another\u00a0blaring issue that needed to be tackled immediately.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
Already, Megan and I had decided that the interviews were of\u00a0poor quality\u00a0(and quite outdated)\u00a0but upon\u00a0further inspection of\u00a0all the files,\u00a0I\u00a0realized that the\u00a0previous\u00a0videography company\u00a0hadn\u2019t\u00a0released the raw interview footage at all.\u00a0This started the hunt to track down all of the previous\u00a0interviewees\u00a0and\u00a0request\u00a0a\u00a0new session to film and record old information as well as\u00a0collect\u00a0any updates.\u00a0Megan\u00a0compiled \u2018must ask\u2019 questions that should trigger similar responses as to what the interviewees\u00a0stated\u00a0the first time. She then shared the file with me to review and add any excess questions that I think could be of sustenance to the\u00a0video.\u00a0
\u00a0
Another issue I had with the\u00a0previous\u00a0video was the lack of images of the\u00a0individual who this project\u00a0is\u00a0dedicated\u00a0to.\u00a0Not only was this a video for a massive-scaled\u00a0installation,\u00a0but the\u00a0entire\u00a0nature of the\u00a0original\u00a0video felt disconnected and unpassionate.\u00a0By reusing the same 3\u00a0images\u00a0of who we will\u00a0call \u2018Warbler\u2019,\u00a0there felt a severe lack of relationship that absolutely needs to be present\u00a0in an initiative like this.\u00a0However,\u00a0initiating\u00a0the request for more photos\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0the easiest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigating Sensitive Topics<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

This project is related to the passing of a\u00a0young,\u00a0loved one which made requesting materials and interviews a new obstacle for me. I\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0want to\u00a0upset anyone or step on any toes which brought a mix of anxiety and pressure to the project. I know in my professional career, there is always going to be a hard conversation that\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0be avoided so long as I want to\u00a0progress,\u00a0but necessity\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0always equal ease.\u00a0

Maybe this comes with the inherent nature of being in an art field though. Human emotions and\u00a0raw connections are essential in making a\u00a0meaningful\u00a0art piece and capturing the love\u00a0that the family has for this late individual is my number one driver for this project.\u00a0\u00a0

I am grateful that the family has been responsive and open to combing through old photos of the deceased.\u00a0They sent me around 100\u00a0new photos\u00a0and\u00a0requested\u00a0that we compiled them into an organized manor that they inquired to be accessed at the memorial site\u00a0via QR on a plaque. I am not a part of the construction team so I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know if this will be implemented yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
