DADAISM IS: Johnny Angel, Emad, George, & Paulie G!

The 5th and final project of COMS 358. I guess the challenge with this one was to see whether or not I would actually survive to witness its showing in class due to extreme illness, and almost wishing that I wouldn't be alive to see it because of the unruly group that we were with miscommunications up the wazoo.

All the content was shot at Woodfield Mall by Emad Shishani pulling off a "hidden camera" type approach. Our group was assigned an art idiom to research and present with a PowerPoint (which I organized) and then afterward, we showed this. The presentation may have been shoddy, but this video was easily the best, despite criticism from one of the TAs calling its content redundant. Since I was uber sick, I couldn't make it to the video portion of this, and was fortunate that Emad edited it (masterfully, I might add) ... I barely survived that semester, but damnit, we walked away with A's. Except Paul, slacker. Since Emad did all the work, I wound up making my contribution by adding some strange bootleg NIN remixes because they fit the style perfectly.

I'm loving your Dada. Great job on the video! I enjoyed the tricks with walking backwards and forwards to give an illusion with the other mall travelers. *favorited*
