Description

350 words including aims of the theoretical and practical research as well as its outcome.

In the second trimester I worked on a short video for the Boerhaave museum. For this I asked an overweighted man to dig his own grave, wearing only white underpants. I edited the material back to three minutes. I never edited my video's before so all this is new to me and I ask myself the question if I am losing my concept which is carefully build up throughout the years. Does the work need a cut or how can I use a cut in a way that it adds something to the work?

  • 44.1 kHz for everything else.

Audio

optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a sound piece/track.

• allowed containers/codecs combos:
  • Ogg: Vorbis (-q 6) preferred
  • MPEG: MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
  • FLAC (-8)

  • 44.1 kHz for everything else.
• Do not transcode! For instance, if the sound generated is directly an MP3, do not re-encode it with the settings above or with a different codec. Only encode original uncompressed or lossless compressed sources.
