Brainstorm #5

Nonlinear Narrative

An idea of mine would be to make a nonlinear narrative focusing on the life of a student. The piece would depict cause and effect  as the main character makes choices along their life and is forced to live with the consequences. Alternative realities of ways an outcome could have possibly turned up will also be a large part of the piece. Films that I see for inspiration would be ones such as Pulp Fiction and Into the Wild.

Brainstorm #4

Mini-Documentary

Mini documentary between 3- 8 minutes showcasing local business. Includes testimonials from employees and customers. Various shots of product in making as well as finished product. Possible businesses could include restaurants, artists, retail stores, specialty shops etc..

Brainstorm #3

Multi-Channel 

Shots of various objects around the house producing rhythms put together in a multi-channel work to create a musical composition. Such objects could include a click of a ceiling fan, faucet dripping, dog barking, wind chimes, footsteps, glass breaking etc.. Compositions could continue to pile on top of one another and gain volume until a climax when the sound breaks. Thus leaving soundless objects. 

Brainstorm #2

Emotion - Loneliness

A linear, narrative piece that depicts loneliness in various ways. Shot in black and white. 

Fade in, a man wakes up, checks his phone, no messages, emails, anything. The man slowly wakes up. walks. outside. There is nobody, it is gloomy out, the only sound is chilling wind. The man stares into the distance. He walks, alone. A feeling is despair shoots across the man's face as he continues to walk in the cold wind, all you can hear is his footsteps, getting louder and louder and he walks, the sound of the wind dies down. The man stops, turns around, scans the horizon, (silhouette) and falls down to his knees. The wind picks back up and you hear the wind and his whimpers as the piece fades out.

Brainstorm #1

Mockumentary 

A narrative documentary in which depicts a fictional local celebrity's rise to fame and how it affected his friends and family. The celebrity could be a musician/singer, designer, businessperson, model, haven't nailed it down quite yet.

The overall feel of the piece will be somewhat light with comedic elements. The piece will be somewhat nonlinear as it will jump from varies stages of his/her career until it meets up at the most important part of their life. Various fictional friends and family will give testimonials throughout the film related to the celebrity's fame and life.

Bio

My name is Rusty Holse. I am in my fourth year at IUSB majoring in New Media with a concentration in music. New Media interests me because I enjoy the aspect of creating and expressing myself through art, as well as the technical aspects of the field. I am an avid drummer in a rock band and I enjoy many types of music and movies. I enjoy working with audio and also enjoy automotive work. If I could make any type of media without restrictions, I would create large scale public installation pieces that incorporated audio, video and 3-d objects. My artwork tends to be focused primarily on cultural relevance, rhythmic structure and timed patterns, personal imagination, various integrated Medias as well as current and past technologies. I am similarly interested in revisiting the past for a source of creation and new meanings.
