Part of what I wanted to do for this project was embody a friend of mine. He is the man of his house due to his parents divorcing when he was younger and as a result he has become very protective of his family. Through his life he has also studied a form of sword martial arts and it matches the sculpture pretty well in terms of having a sword. Going in-depth as to how the glitch effects further this idea, through my eyes I see him breaking and fracturing while occasionally coming back together. The training puts a lot of stress on his body and it has not been able to return to the way it was before he started. With the years of experience and stress both from life and the training, the original image of the guardian has become fractured and reformed resulting in a final image that's similar to the original but different to show that what he's experienced has changed him.
The process of creating glitch art is much more expansive that it may initially seem and requires specific tools to work properly in the end. To begin with any transition into glitch art, it is important to use Photoshop (or another image editor that allows in-depth setting changes) to export the image as a .tiff file. From there it is important to use a program not usually used to edit images to create the glitch effects that appear on the images. The program used for this project is a free audio editor called “Audacity”. These come from the unconventional edits that are intended for audio rather than photos. After adding any number of effects, it is possible to export the new file as raw data, which can then be returned to a .tiff format.

As Time Passes from Joel Schreiner on Vimeo.
Following the same concept as my earlier project ("The Guardian Stands Tall"), "As Time Passes" is closer to how I picture my friend. Through the creation of this stop-motion, it is easier to see how his life was once normal and the events that occurred along the way. This results in a different picture and a different way he held himself at the time. I do not know how many events have occurred in his life, outside of the two big ones he has told me, but every encounter changed him for good or for worse.

Once that is set up, you can import your newly formatted .tiff (usually as raw data) into the program of choice and add any number of effects or code modifications. Afterwards, it is possible to export the edited file as raw data, which can then be returned to the viewable .tiff format.

Do You See Now? from Joel Schreiner on Vimeo.
The third in a series of glitch videos, “Do You See Now?” is a different view of the same subject. Compared to the last two, this one shows a better portrayal of the person in question in terms of what others would see when observing him. What may seem like a dramatic change in life on the inside may only appear as a slow transition on the outside. After all, dreams always feel longer on the inside than how they appear on the outside.
In this video, I utilized three different layer blending modes called multiply, screen, and overlay to achieve the desired effects on the images. There were several differentiations of opacity, as well, with the base image to make sure the original image was never the same underneath. The wind was included for this one as an atmosphere mood setter for the changes in the pictured sculpture. As it appeared to erode and change, the blowing wind acted as a passage of time to enhance the idea of erosion and further rusting near the end.
