Video of A.G.A.S.T. 2007 Available
Hello All,
I've edited the video I shot during the AGAST weekend and put it on my website (www.kingkahnproductions.com) as two shows (Saturday's and Sunday's shoot). The videos are about 45 minutes each and will play in separate windows so they can play simultaneously (sort of a visual stereo). You will also be able to "scrub" through the clips to see the segments that interest you. I found seeing so much art and so many studios very inspiring. I also think that seeing the art in a moving video is a very different experience from seeing a slide. Please share your reactions to this with me and let me know if there is anything you would like to do with this video or with creating something else.
