is motion graphic a part of video art?
Filed Under video
I wondered whether music videos are video art or not. so I asked Ms. Garmon and she said I have to find that out. I also wondered whether motion graphic is a part of video art or not. So I asked Ms. Garmon again and she said I should figure that out myself. To be honestly, the reason why I signed up for this class is I wanted to learned about those two. Before I came to this class those are the all video arts I knew. I knew for music videos and motion graphics, editing does matter. So I guessed I’m going to learn about video editing programs in this class. And I was so excited about learning them. (Again it’s just what I was guessing about this class) Don’t get me wrong but on the first day, I was disappointed. We started whatching old films and avant garde video. Obviously as you can see that was not what I expected. What about music video! What about motion graphics!!!
It has been more than three month. I’m getting afraid. Because the more videos I watch, I realize how shallow my knowledge is. So I tried to watch videos and know about better. (Even though I fell a sleep sometimes.) I totally forgot about what I was wondering on the beginning of class. And this video project remind me of them. Are motion graphic and music video a part of video art? Because motion graphic and music videos are comercialized so people don’t think them as video arts anymore. But I think they are. I don’t understand people who think comercialized art is not the real art. In my opinion about them, I’ll say it’s just a rising tendency in this century. Motion graphic artists use Adobe Aftereffect a lot because they are so fascinating. I’m also one of the people who fascinated by the program. (even though I don’t know how to use it.) Artists want their videos to be attracted by people. They put a lot of effort on making them fresh and nice. So they developed really fast. They are the core of developing video art world. And there’s no reason why you put them aside and say they are not video art or artful video because they are the chosen one by the mass.
