Process/Chance Video

When deciding on my process for making this video, the idea of having everything be completely random worried me a little. Not because it would come out weird, but because there would be no way I could say that this was mine. By following a random process anyone could happen to come up with the same weird thing. Worse if it did come out good because I couldn't take credit for that either.
But that was the assignment, so I came up with a compromise.
To start I chose twenty objects, that became ten groups of two. A coin was flipped for each group, with only one of the objects in each group being filmed. Being left with ten clips, each got an option of two video effects that could be put on it and a coin was flipped to decide for each. And that is the process for this video. I chose this because it felt to me like a fair compromise of the artist's choice and a twist of fate. And I cannot say I'm unhappy with the result.
