Self-Critique

Project one was the transition project. The project involves me dropping a camera "accidentally" and the fall of the camera. This came about from the want to capture the decent of a camera and old timey studio films and the amount of control and freedom the directors had to pan up or down the whole side of a building. The theme I would say is not to place cameras on ledges or they will fall. The problem I had with this video was rolling shutter on the way down. Since I did not have too much control on the decent of the camera there was a lot of jarring and unwanted motion that got translated.

Project two was a pretty interesting project when it came to editing. Since i have never made a video college this whole experience has been fun. The video as a whole is a collection of footage from around the school showing action through out the length. Overall I wanted to instill the idea that flowing streams of media don't always necessarily have a narrative, but instead that viewers could invest their own idea of a narrative. I think I was able to work a good visual rhythm for the piece. One proble area that i always have issue with is a lacking of footage. I felt a bit rushed and was unable to get all of the shots I wanted.

For Fun

Made this the other day, the music is just for fun. I will be using this in my video collage. Again this is a video just for fun!

Storyboards For 9-7-11

Lately I have become obsessed with collage art in my personal work and sketchbook, So the idea of a video collage is extremely interesting to me. Layering, Editing, Composition, and color will all be essential in creating a successful rhythm. The shots I have storyboarded for are all shots that I have had a desire to shoot for a while now. I hope they turn out looking good
