Drift Delights-Assesment 4

While the drifts themselves were an interesting and eye-opening experience, for me the best part of the process was coming home after my second drift with my newly collected material and starting the process of reviewing, organizing, and analyzing the images for possible connections, themes, or narrative potential. Some times I would already have some idea of how I would want to edit together some of the stills or movie clips and other times I wouldn’t find a connection until I was sitting in front of my computer reviewing what I found. Sometimes this would inspire me to try and find more material that related and also to go back out to parts of my drift area to collect more relevant material. It was like there was a mystery somewhere in all of my collected materials and I had to find the pieces and put them together like a puzzle. In the beginning of the process no matter how much I thought about it there was no way to know what kind of findings I would discover on my way, but by the end I was always happy with my finished product I was able to piece together and the process as a whole.
