A test, an experiment. I bought a laptop and made this recording with the built-in webcam. It's fuzzy, oh so fuzzy. I wasn't able to figure out how to edit in Windows Media and so it's as is. It's not going to stay up for long - I do have a video camera that will record a person in motion, and seeing this is enough to make me dust it off... more poetry experiments in the future!
Oh, I wouldn't wear my reading glasses, no, no, so I was using a large magnifying glass to read the poem - it's soooo funny. And don't ask what I was doing with my arm at the end, who knows.
Notes for future recordings: memorize, stay in focus, and anything else you the happenstance reader who might bumble upon this site might add if you come by before I delete this, blush, clip.

Sheath of feeling. Words groping to touch air.

well, the movements back and forth were so rampant that they actually made me a bit dizzy. my suggestion would be for you not to move so much when you read again. it distracts the viewer from the words, i think. i am left remembering only the movement. now i must go back to listen with my eyes shut.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Sky. It's the camera, blurring motion even as it tries to capture it. On my other camera, which I must use, there is a setting that turns the motion detector off, thus allowing movement on screen.
ReplyDeleteI posted this video clip as a first attempt, an experiment, a testing ground. You haven't said give up videos of your poetry, but deal with the technical issues. That's a relief. I appreciate your comment, and thank you for your feedback. xo
