Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.42,0:00:12.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Elliott Hundley: Evoking Emotions]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.38,0:00:24.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm staging imaginary operas.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.86,0:00:32.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the things I find appealing about opera\Nis it's kind of a ludicrous proposition.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.90,0:00:33.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[LAUGHS]
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.16,0:00:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a convention that we all read as normal,\Nbut it's a funny convention.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.64,0:00:42.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like how artificial it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.79,0:00:48.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But being so artificial, it definitely strives\Nto evoke strong emotions.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.24,0:00:53.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The music is the vehicle for the intensity\Nof the emotion,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.51,0:00:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's the priority, I think.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.10,0:00:58.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's definitely my goal--
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.35,0:01:11.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,creating some sort of emotional response from\Nthe work that I make. Absolutely.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.14,0:01:23.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,During the day, I spend my time collecting\Nall of this stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.64,0:01:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that I can do with help.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.20,0:01:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's easier to work when I'm by myself,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.74,0:01:38.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it’s quiet.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.47,0:01:43.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there's also no time limit, you know,\Nwhen you work in the evening.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.92,0:01:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Collage has been one of the most relevant\Nforms of art making.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.41,0:01:56.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's resonant because it is made of\Nthe stuff that we see every day.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.68,0:01:59.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's familiar. It reflects our reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.30,0:02:02.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's self-evident.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.64,0:02:07.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's no esoteric technique to make a collage.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.04,0:02:16.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because some of my subjects or the things\Nthat I'm trying to make
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.69,0:02:22.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are maybe trying to get at something mysterious\Nor something unknown
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.48,0:02:25.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or something emotional,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.50,0:02:30.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think what's appealing to me about collage\Nis the fact that it's so straightforward--
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.63,0:02:34.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it's a good foil to my subject.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.94,0:02:49.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I use stories to get the picture started,\Nor to find components,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.29,0:02:52.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or to locate a compelling narrative--
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.36,0:02:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a compelling situation. Maybe that's even\Na better word.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.20,0:02:58.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or a compelling psychology.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.24,0:03:03.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm interested in staging--
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.07,0:03:07.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, all the tricks of creating the scene.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.44,0:03:21.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know for what high school musical\Nthis backdrop could've possibly been made.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.48,0:03:23.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's called "Sci-Fi Office".
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.22,0:03:26.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got this backdrop just for the photo shoot;
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.22,0:03:27.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I rented it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.46,0:03:28.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,--[HUNDLEY, OFF CAMERA] It looks good...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.80,0:03:30.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,--Three, two, one...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.16,0:03:31.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[SOUND OF CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING AND FLASH\NFIRING]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.10,0:03:35.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[SOUND OF CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING AND FLASH\NFIRING]
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.40,0:03:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,--Perfect.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.90,0:03:47.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like to include images of the people in\Nmy life.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.42,0:03:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All my friends know this about me, that I\Nspend a lot of my energy asking their opinions.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.26,0:04:02.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What's important to me about including my\Nfriends and family is that it raises the stakes;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.88,0:04:05.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they’re not just images.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.19,0:04:06.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not just color.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.46,0:04:08.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not just a model.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.42,0:04:12.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's people with identities.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.73,0:04:22.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that if someone encountered my work,\Nthey would not necessarily know
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.04,0:04:29.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the model in my photograph or painting\Nwas someone important to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.83,0:04:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I do think that it changes my attitude\Ntowards the subject,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.87,0:04:37.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think that ultimately that's what changes\Nthe picture.
