ZUIGANJI

I'm making a series of short films about my travels in Japan in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, 17th century Haiku Master and his ensuing book 'oku no hosomichi'

may well b true; i just sort of liked the idea (still do) of forgetting the aesthetic of the thing and just carving up the text as dictated solely by a mathematical algorithm (not that I'd know what one of them was even if it came up and bit me in the arse, but anyway, you get the idea - you apply a random formula to either the text or the vid which says, for example, 'cut every 23 seconds regardless'; so that rather than designing the content, you let it arise randomly. Can get interesting stuf

i quite like it, although i think it would be better if you just kindof played the text over the videos rather than constantly cutting between the text and the videos...
