and his voice!!

and I get fixated with recepies - Rosted Kale Chips with Salt and Vinegar

from Kalyn's Kitchen blog
Roasted Kale Chips with Sea Salt and Vinegar
(Makes 2-3 servings of kale chips, recipe adapted by Kalyn with inspiration from many other bloggers who also made kale chips.)

one small bunch of kale, about 6 oz.
1 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 T vinegar (I used Spanish sherry vinegar, but any vinegar you like the flavor of will work)
sea salt to taste

Preheat oven to 300F/150C.

Cut away inner ribs from each kale leaf and discard, then tear the kale leaves into same-size pieces. (I made my pieces about the size of a small potato chip.) Wash torn kale pieces and spin dry in a salad spinner or dry with paper towels until they're very dry.

Put kale pieces into a large Ziploc bag (or use a bowl if you don't mind getting your hands oily.) Add half of the 1 T of olive oil, seal bag, and squeeze the bag so the oil gets distributed evenly on the kale pieces. Add the other half tablespoon of oil and squeeze the bag more, until all kale pieces are evenly coated with oil and slightly "massaged."

Open the Ziploc bag and sprinkle the 1 T sherry vinegar over the kale leaves, then seal bag and shake to spread the vinegar out over all the leaves.

Arrange kale leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet, then roast until they are mostly crisp, about 35 minutes. I checked every 10 minutes or so and turned some pieces over. I also found I didn't mind if there were a few softer parts on some of the kale leaves, I liked the combination of crisp and softer parts.

When chips are done to your liking, sprinkle with a generous amount of sea salt and eat immediately.

hit me





INbetweenLINES









working on

Hello,
long time no seen.
well I have edited new versions of:
Hit me - the piece with the shaking girl piece
INbetweeenLINES

In Hit me I tried to eliminate all the distracting moments of the piece, concentrating on her convolutions, rather then in make in it a narrative piece.
I think that it still is a narrative piece, but definitely in a way that the audience is the one who decides how to read it. I made some adjustments to the sound, abstracting the sound more, making it more of a continuous noise. Finally I tried to add some insight in the character, using some forced zoomed in angles. Because of the quality of the film and the extremed zoom in, the footage acquires a surviliance quality look.

For INbetweenLINES I worked on finding a composer and cleaning the footage and especially the transitions. I also tried to make the piece longer and have the transitions between different clouds more smooth.

I also tried to work on a new film, I would say that what I have submitted is a preview of what the film will be about...Nothing is accomplished during the visual, all it is set is a scene of a relationship. Talking with David I realized that I will need to film it again and have clearer intentions. Will it be a narrative or a abstract piece.

To be an abstract piece, you need to abstract and minimalize all the elements.
I really need to be careful about the hands that I will use.
Plan more how they move and the lighting.
