I just copied a handout a yoga teacher gave me for a friend and thought I would put it here for the world to enjoy. The original had tons of xerox noise on it so I made a new version in illustrator.
The aspect of the chart to pay the most attention to is the breath. This metaphor of the breath linking the mind and the body is a powerful way of looking at ourselves as organisms and it would do everyone some good to recognize how important the breath really is.

I ended up adding sound anyways, I love tones, what can I say?
It is a bit shorter than I would like and I might expand on this for a future project but I thought it turned out alright. I enjoyed messing around with the mirror filter a lot and did a little masking as well. I ended up creating quite a few draft effects and transitions before settling on this one and arranging it like this. The effect I like the most, the strobing at the end, was achieved just by copying and pasting the short clips over and over next to each other. A very effective technique.

Well I have gotten into using the mirror effect in final cut and it is looking pretty abstract, I will post a screen shot soon as I am working on this a psychology paper at the same time! Nothing like procrastination to give the brain a good squeeze.
This is starting to head into playing with some transitional effects, I will see how far I get with this avenue...
I have started to craft my project and I thinking I will deviate a bit from my original approach of synchronized "notes" of color, instead concentrating more on strictly the colors and how I can manipulate them in a way that reflects the medium of video.
