Torie's performance video

This is the rough draft video

This is the edited version 

Artist statement:  For my performance video, I wanted to create a simple scene with a non-distracting background.  I decided to place a chair in the center of the symmetrical space between the closets in my dorm room.  Once I set the scene and angled the camera the way that I wanted to I started to work out what my performance was going to be.  I wanted to create an entertaining and humorous video.  At first, I put my running shoes on and took them off again.  This created the allusion that I was getting ready to go for a run, but then not going.  For my final video I decided to push this idea even further, which made it more humorous.  I decided to put my shoes on, tie them, stretch, and then proceed to eat a bag of chips.  I did the exact opposite of what the viewer originally thought I was going to do.
