So Paper Tears, Who Knew?

As I started this project I wasn't really sure what to do.  My words were tear and support.  As I was cleaning through my room I came upon some old notebooks. 

These were notebooks from classes I had long since finished.  And I decided instead of just throwing them away, or tearing them up on camera, I would make something from them.  

To start I did have to do some tearing.

Next I folded and interlaced them to add some strength. 

After some stapling I was left with a strip like this one.  It seems pretty sturdy actually. 

A short time later and I have all the strips individually.  Next to fashion them together...

...and done.  A decently sized rope is formed. 

I tied and staple one end to a beam on my second story balcony..

And now to wait to see if I can climb up using this rope. 

Apparently not even a little bit. 

Footsteps in the Rain

So for the forth project I decided to take part of my route from work as video.  I usually work really late nights and I kind of enjoy how quiet and empty the city streets are at 4 in the morning. Sometimes it can be somewhat creepy and as I was examining the audio from the track I noticed an odd noise that I was able to scrub out and make into footsteps.  After I messed with the alignment I added it back in.  Since it was close to Halloween I made the video back and white to make it a little creepier.
