Drift assessment number four

4. Describe your favorite experience, situation, place, or recollection from either of your Drifts. Be specific about what happened, how you felt, how you reacted, and why you think this particular experience affected you so much.

I think the location of my Drift 3 final cut had to be the best experience and location out of all. I had come into the location with a certain aesthetic in mind, and I had found it in this location. I wanted desolate and somewhat industrial, cold and somewhat warm in the same breath. Bleak in the original images, but with the possibility of editing in some focal points and draw some attention to the minutia of the long shots. In this experience I have found, that like most artists, I live more through the screen and composition then I do in the reality that surrounds me. How this landscape can be translated is my concern. In a way this has opened up my eyes to this "focus"; Or maybe blindness to the real surroundings.
