Video
During my early years, I learned the video production process. I think that understanding this medium is important for any creative thinker in the digital age. Included here are some projects that I helped create.
Tazha the Diviner - Living
A simple, empowering color bath.
Directed by Cody Burchfield
Cinematography by Aidan Jung. Edited by Aidan/Tazha/Cody
MEMBA
A teaser video for a concert, featuring touch reactive Orb Drums.
Directed by Ishaan Chaudhary, Will Curry and Cody Burchfield. Set creation by Cody Burchfield. Filmed and edited by Jordan Tan. Special partnership with Michael Curry Design.
Video Installation
For my thesis installation, I hung three screens in vertical format, building custom frames to create a clean and concise presentation of the visual content unhindered by the sight of plastic and wiring.
Each screen featured evolving mandalas as an exploration of bilateral symmetry. A sound cone emitted music synched to the upper screen. (One composition, named “Bowrain’s Rocks” can be viewed down at the bottom of this page, it’s gorgeous and alien!)
Visual Textures // Geometric arrangements for “Common Genius”
Visuals to embolden intricate sounds, created from scratch
All video created and edited by Cody Burchfield
Incidental Landscapes
Originally performed at Whitman College. A live performance of music and video projection using VDMX and a midi controller to weave the video in real-time.
Music composed by Logan Schmidt. Video composed and performed by Cody Burchfield
Sun-Tzu X MEMBA
I was struck by a desire to film and choreograph movement at three separate tempos, and then bring it all back together in an illusion of a performer’s pace. Sun-Tzu performed the same dance in real time, half-time, and double time. Each time, we projected video and played audio at each corresponding tempo. The end result wasn’t quite as clean as I hoped, so I got pretty playful with the edit!
