She looks sad and earnest.  Or rather blank.   I rotoscoped  it which involved saving the scene as a series of jpegs, 30 images per  second and then drawing each image using a light box.  There are several  interruptions to her speaking when the image changes.  It moves down  and off the page then comes back from the top; it becomes an image made  of small squares then changes colors; and finally the squares show the  negative images.  There are also series when every other image is a  different color, moving through the spectrum, with the original black  line on white in between.  This creates a strobing effect.  The sound,  by Snacks (Tom Boram and Dan Breen) uses a piece by Brahms, static  sounds; tremolo and other sounds to match these interruptions.  Brahms  plays while she calmly speaks but only partial sounds come out of her  mouth.  She doesn&#8217;t communicate.&#8221; <\/em>(<a href=\"http:\/\/thelaurenbraun.blogspot.com\/2009\/07\/spotlight-onkaren-yasinsky.html\" target=\"_blank\">more of the interview<\/a>)<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;a fellow American Academy fellow this year &#8211; was a real pleasure, the highlight of the day, a 3.5 minute video she made in 2009 inspired by one\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[311,1725,1719,624,625,43],"class_list":["post-3570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-2","tag-american-academy-in-rome","tag-art-2","tag-film","tag-karen-yasinsky","tag-robert-bresson","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3570"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3582,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3570\/revisions\/3582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
