Stop Motion Video

Dominique Alston, "A Run in the Woods", 2010, 1:30 minutes

I wanted to experiment with the stop motion assignment in TU's pathway/woods area. In the end, it almost looks as if someone is running frantically.

Water Video

Dominique Alston, "Fluid", 2010, 1:58 minutes

Song: "Lost Where I Belong (Flying Lotus Remix)" by Andreya Triana

Within this video about water, I wanted to try to experiment within a limited area such as a bath tub and to add some interest, I tried to incorporate ink.

Spontaneous Writing Video

Dominique Alston "If I Could Be Anything", 2010, 1:21 minutes

Song: "Down the Line" by Pretty Lights

It was rather difficult for me to really edit and include what I wanted to say within this piece, but it worked out decently. I still would like to mess around with this video a bit more and try different voices, etc...

Digital Tools & Concepts Pictures

Dominique Alston, Face Paint, Oct 2010

For a homework assignment, I decided to play around with paint on my face. I always love experimenting with designs that have a bit of a tribal influence.

Dominique Alston, Death of Initech, 2010

I found it was a lot more difficult to construct things such as this copier with lack of skill, heh..

But within this assignment I wanted to capture a part of the movie Office Space during my favourite scene - the destruction of the company copier/fax machine.

Dominique Alston,  Toon Utopia, 2010

We were able to create our own utopia and dystopia! But I think my utopia reflected my obsession of cartoons within my childhood...

Dominique Alston, Self Portrait, 2010

I tried to create a self portrait of objects that people could normally identify me with, generally because I always can be seen wearing them. :)
