6.Freestyle



Surprisingly the freestyle was not my favorite, I just didnt have enough time to have made it as I would have liked and things kept going wrong. But I am really happy I learned how to do a scannimation that is really cool!! Just was time consuming and I didnt like how the sound turned out.
My favorite assignment was the sound of multiplane  and the concept of a rhythmic video.
I just wish I would have taken the time to learn how to do the 3D edits but because Im so new to premier it was just straight over my head.

The Rough Theatre

Well, theatre is always rough in my world. Especially this past weekend during a stage performance an audience member enjoying her own laughter and beverage decided to laugh louder that the buildings walls, unexpectedly to our attention we started a new game of dodging the sporadic screaming laugh so that the rest of the crowd could here us. The same audience member had stood up during the show to ask the lighting department if she could go on stage and although completely disrupting, I think it would have been hilarious. Theres nothing quite like live theatre. Film will never be able to change its delivery the moment the audience is watching, and the roughness and raw atmosphere of performing or watching whenever and wherever is where i personally find the one special aspect. I have been on grand stages glimmering with chandeliers, the old buildings are always filled with so much enchanting character. I suppose the one difference between watching a play and watching a film is the atmosphere change. I wish in our generation there were more spectators of the theatre, and not just popular theatre thats over priced where you have to sit still and old people yell at you if you sneeze too loud, on that note I am a fan of rough theatre for my demographic. (unless I'm seeing phantom or something big). I think where were heading on the final project dealing with secondary senses while watching the film could be an attempt relating to theaters characteristics to some degree.

wheres the camera

"Cameraless" film assignment, to me was a way of creating homemade filters and creating a film that we only had a certain amount of control with. I was most nervous about how my animation would turn out, because I drew with a tiny ball point waterproof pen. I ended up drawing Chinese fire and water symbols that twirled clockwise, and I would gradually draw them a little bit thicker as I went down the film. To my surprise they worked! What didn't work for me was trying to use a lighter to burn a needle and imprint on the film, so instead I got a lighter and heated up scissors and the first mark just cut straight across. Therefore the rest of the time I just had to do light X marks. The magazine transfer was my favorite part of the process, I think its pretty cool how tape can just copy right over. Overall I loved this project! Not knowing how it was going to turn out when we slid it through the projector was the most exciting part. I also used my own bleach at home, which after about a minute I was able to smear and smudge, intertwining pieces of tape about an inch apart. I think the final project once watching the film became very beautiful, especially the blue ink on the clear film. I hope to do more experimental camera less art work in the future because of how abstract and unique each persons film turned about.
