Different Ways of Knowing Daniel Tammet

Mr. Tammet's synesthesia is something of a special gift, despite all the social disruption it puts onto him. He uniquely is able to see the world definitively through his own lens, which I quite honestly am jealous of. I can't even begin to imagine the creative and emotional stimulation he gets from things that we regularly think of as just day to day life, and that should be cherished, and more importantly documented. That sort of life experience is unlike any other on this planet, which is astounding to realize.

1.Creative Crowdsourcing- We had the most freedom on this project, and when we were able to collaborate with all of our classmates to make one cut, it was so exciting to see the creativity that we all had to offer.

Earth Art Animation- Another project that allowed for a bunch of freedom, and we were able to control pretty much the whole scene in any way we wanted to. 3.Bolex Long take- The long take was very interesting to work with, as it gave perspective on what it was like to shoot back in the day. 4.Rythmic Edit- Not very free in terms of creativity, and the edit did not come out the way I hoped. 5.Video Letter- Was more or less vague and did not learn too much from it. 6.Film Manipulation- The project was incredibly time consuming and I feel like i didn't get the payoff I was hoping for after putting so much work into it, only to not be what I thought.
