My installation proposal is basically using a projector to "paint" moving portraits onto the wall of a completely bare room.
To achieve this, I plan on first putting a camocorder on a turntable with bluetape outlining where i want the portraits to be.
Next I will shoot portraits of agitated, anxious friends and strangers.
Then I will place these videos in frames in Premeiere. Then in Aftereffects, using keyframes, i'll adjust perspective and paralax so that the images strech and shrink as the angle they are projected against the wall changes.
Finally, i'll project the video from a projector placed exactly where the camcorder was. If all is done correctly, the images should appear to be static fixtures on the wall, even as the projector rotates around the room.
if there is time, i would really like to compose a nasty, evil ambient track to play during the installation. i think a bassy, droney, machine track will do the trick.

If-By-Wiskey
All right, here is how I feel about whiskey:
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.

Spike Jonze: Artist working in video
Before Where the Wild Things Are, before Nike commercials, and even before Fatboy Slim videos, Spike Jonze was still a very well known name; though it was to a comparably small audience. Jonze got his start in the skateboard scene, a culture which was at the time very close to the underground music scene.
skit from Girl Skateboards' "Mouse"
This was pretty high tech for a low budget, early ninties skate video, but he was better known for his more low-tech, and highly bizarre sequences.
the aesthetic translated well to the world of music videos, and though his skateboard video days were far from over, Jonze's popularity in the music world made not only money much easier, but forged connections that would help launch a very successful Hollywood career.
