How Do You Make It?
- How does Sky Hopinka use his medium of choice? What inspired him to use video?
Hopinka uses the medium of video in order to represent themes like indigenous culture, language, and space. This inspiration to work with this medium came from learning of Chinuk Wawa feeling as though the same approach of learning languages could be applied to approaching video. Learning Chinuk Wawa gave him a foundation as to how to approach video work as well as his storytelling. His videos consist of visuals that give the viewers a sense of mystery, otherworldly, and eerie. Personally, I found "Mnemonics of Shape and Reason", to be weirdly calming.
- What material/medium/process do you use and how? What inspired you to make your work that way?
As a graphic designer my medium would be computer programs like Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. But I think this expands depending on what we are designing. My process when designing is pretty simple, usually when I get an assignment, and I am already coming up with rough ideas, aesthetic, and compositions. For more inspiration I go to my Pinterest boards, but from there I just start designing, picking fonts, and images. I think no matter what project I am working on what inspires me is the end result. There is something so amazing and prideful to see your work finished and in the physical world.
