Before bringing it to conclusion, we're still tying up some loose ends on the Infinite Jest videos, this time by making a companion piece to the totally random Infinite Jest IV.
I consider this edition, subtitled Florence, to be an artistic failure. I wanted to contrast the frenetic IJ IV with the most static, totally boring video I could possibly make, but somehow the music added some unexpected drama to the opening sequence, and then the single-shot video itself has a trance-like, hypnotic effect. Basically, the companion piece to IV, which briefly referenced Hurricane Sandy, became a meditation on Low Country landscape and what existed before the recent Hurricane Florence, so yes, it's boring, but no, not as boring as I had hoped. Sorry about that.
You can access the entire Infinite Jest series by clicking on the Infinite Jest label at the bottom of this post.
While I usually say at this point that I don't hold the copyrights to any of this material, in this case, I do - I actually shot the video myself with my iPhone. So, yes, I DO own the rights to at least the visual component of this piece, but I give it freely to the world to do whatever you wish with it. If you've figured out a way to make a profit off it, good for you! You must be a very, very clever person and I wish you well. However, I don't own the copyright to the soundtrack (please don't sue me) and don't represent that I own the copyright (please don't sue me). I make no profit off these videos, either directly or indirectly, and it's all just for fun. Please don't sue me.
