I made this video for a Video Activism class that I took at UCSB in 2008. While my interests now lie mostly on creating mindful deviations from the reality of life through animation and experimentation, this is an important piece to me that came out of what I think is a very important class to have in the film department of a University.
On April 9, 2008 the Olympic Torch timidly passed through San Francisco. Thousands of demonstrators swarmed the streets in protest of Beijing hosting the 2008 Olympic Games because of China's human rights records. Supporters of the nation's right to host the games were also out in full force to defend attacks against China.I attended the protest as an observer with my video camera and created this short video piece focusing on the ways in which the event was carried out and documented through different media technologies and tactics. This video is an example of my own form of video documentation.
sorry for the not so good quality:
