"She Said, vol.8: Blockbuster Ballbuster"
digital, 49 seconds, 2008
The castrating act of picking out a video for the opposite sex has never been so painfully and graphically depicted. I recorded the audio for this, minus the grunting reactions, almost two weeks before I made the video. I had the words but the image wouldn't come to me. I almost put an arbitrary image in, but I knew i didn't want to lower my standards too low, so I sat on the video, thinking long and hard about it. Eventually, while driving around, it came to me. However, I needed some simple situations to shoot it, the light and the ability make ensure that the set dressing was correct, so that took me a few more days. The animation, using an export of the necessary footage into Photoshop as a flipbook file, messed up and it took me hours to solve it. Overall, it became the most time consuming episode so far. I repeated some of the moaning noise because it made me laugh.
