Drift assessment number two

2. Describe, with details, two situations during Drift 1 and/or 2 in which you felt unusually peaceful, at ease, or contemplative.

In answering this question I feel somewhat reminiscent of things that I would have thought I would not. The process itself allows me to take inventory of what has happened this semester. I believe in one instance it was the finished project that made me take note of what was actually happening. I speak of Drift 2 in the context that it was mirror for a horribly personal time. And if not for the images unfolding before me I would have easily disregarded the situation as null. Was I personally pleased with the final project? Not at all. But the process of putting together media has always allowed, for filmmakers and audience, the insight to see things detached. I had put together the sequences to fulfill a requirement, but in turn have now a documentary of sorts, waiting for a peaceful conclusion.

In a more simple and lighter experience was the recording of sound during Drift 1. A moment where I was recording a fan and heating ducts is where I reached that moment of artist dimmentia. The moment where it was hard to understand where you were for that moment; having been lost in the drone. Sometimes it easy to accomplish and sometimes one searches for that moment. Beleiving that moment is the only true creative mark.
