Constellation Quilt

Emily Fischer

Born and raised in rural Wisconsin, known as a fabric designer and has her own business in Haptic Lab. (Haptic refers to to the scene of touch.)

The SoftMaps quilt project began in 2002 where Emily was inspired by her mother who was diagnosed with glaucoma.

Theme: The video was taken just around where workshop or studio is, scenes in her studio making her quilt and even her walking on the streets, maybe around where she stays? Scenery on the rooftop of the building laying out the quilt she made.

Structure: This is like a character based video, where it's like she's telling her story in what she does in life or her up bringing. Most shots were of Emily always doing something with her hands, very close up films, then wide-shots when she's outside of her studio with her quilt. The video-maker makes the quilt the main focus of the film.

What I like about this video is that it's short and sweet (01.57minutes) Good film to watch, the thing I didn't like was the film in between 00:00-00:30 to 00:00-00:47, it looked weird having that put in with the rest of the whole video, it just looked off.

This image is a wide mid-shot of her studio where all the magic happens, as you can see her facing her back to the camera while she's do her work.

This image is a close up of her fingers and a felt pen that she's using to draw her work, the depth of field is shallow because the background is slightly blurry. It's more focused on what she doing with the felt tip, which is pretty cool.

In this image is pretty much the quilt in one picture, wide mid-shot, good filming.
