I am looking forward to working on this final project.  It will be a lot of work but I’m really looking forward to using everything I’ve learned this year in class and put everything together.  I honestly cannot believe that this class is almost over.  For this project I decided to focus on my dog ...

Review of 2 References on Remix:  I really enjoyed watching the references on remix.  This has really helped me get an idea on what a remix is and how to create one.  Remixing that I found out by these videos is putting two or more different things together.  There are remixes all around us.  I ...

Okay, so I watched Everything is a Remix Part 1 and also A Fair(y) Use Tale for my exploring the concept of remix part.  The references that I watched were actually really informative in how they were laid out.  I figured that they would just be boring clips about what remixes are and how to make them. ...

So this post was supposed to be done nearly 24 hours ago by now, but YouTube seems to be refusing to process the video in question. The video that this was SUPPOSED to be was a video of a certain … Continue reading →

Title: Supercut It Description: For this assignment I was asked to a supercut montage of overused dialogue, themes, motifs, filmmaking techniques, etc. for a particular character, tv show, film, and/or public figure. A supercut is basically a fast-paced montage of short video clips that obsessively isolates a single element from its source, usually a word, ...

Title: Product Review Description: For this assignment I was asked to pick any item around my house that I either enjoy using, find helpful on a day-to-day basis, or even something that you own but don’t find worth the money you payed for it.

Generalities These past two weeks, we focused on Video Assignments, which I, of course, put off to do until today–so much work these past two weeks, in all of the classes. Anyways, I think I ended up getting some really good footage, thanks to the help of beautiful friends. I did a total of 7 ...

For this Assignment, my friend Rose helped me out, and did a spot on reenactment of the Sittin’ On Tha Toilet video on YouTube. Gold. She sent it to. Didn’t even have to edit it–too good to be true–and I uploaded it to YouTube....

Assignment. This is Meg Roll’s Five Seconds of Fame. Here she demonstrates her “Man Gettin’” Face (aka, the expression she uses to pick up dudes–genius, if you ask me. She took this video, and emailed it to me. I then edited it, and uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy.  

For this assignment, I had a few of my friends get together and have our very own That 70′s Show circle. I had them sit around, cross-legged style, and we passed around an iPhone that was recording. Whoever the camera was passed to, they recorded the person directly across from them, and the person being ...

Scenes with an Impact For this assignment I used scenes from 10 Things I Hate About You, Pretty in Pink, and My Girl. All three of these scenes/movies had a different effect/impact on my life. I really don’t have a … Continue reading →

I love movies. Plain and simple. I do not love creating them, however, as I found out these past two weeks. It takes so much more than a camera and a subject. There are way too many things to think Continue reading →
