VIDEO VULTURE WORKSHOP: The Jawa Editing Technique

Sunday, October 11 – 12 NOON to 4 PM | Winnipeg Film Group Studio – 3rd floor, 100 Arthur Street

___________________________________________________________

The sound track is the image track when music concrete meets scratch video in this cut and paste editing lesson for video culture vultures. Why reinvent cinema when we can pull clips from history like words from a dictionary? What is subliminal micro composition? How can you build complex, layered, musical compositions using nothing but source video clips? What's this JAWA stuff about and where did it come from? Join Tasman Richardson, the founder of the JAWA technique (1996) and fellow guest artist RKO (Paris, France) for an explanation of what, why, and how. Bring your laptops, any timeline based video editor, and some sample clips to follow along. Attendees will be provided with a pdf of notes, a history of JAWA, sample clips, and one example video from each visiting artist.

Tasman Richardson (Toronto)

For over a decade Tasman Richardson has exhibited or performed extensively throughout the Americas, Europe, North Africa and Asia. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1996 where he developed the JAWA editing technique as his thesis. In 2002 he co-founded the media arts collective FAMEFAME. He spends his time developing video as a universal language by pursuing international collaborations with other video/audio artists. He lives in Toronto, Canada. (www.tasmanrichardson.com)

RKO (Paris)

RKO seems to draw his roots in a chaos theory that he applies to video in a destructive manner. Opening this century to the European sound of free parties, his experimentations, as well as those of the radical musicians that are RIPIT and TZii, are a visual, auditive,intellectual and emotional exercise of style for both him and his audiences. From this brutal initiation to a new approach to critical thinking through vjing, he kept an immoderate taste for vitriolic reinterpretations, especially cinematic ones. (www.vidioatak.org)
