Final Critiques Day 2

"The things they carried" by angeline
I really enjoyed the sound track. Seems like alot fo people are finding or making some really nice composures.
The concept is interesting about people and what they carry. I know I used to carry TONS of stuff in my backpack/purse.
But it's alot different now as a college student because when I'm on campus, I'm stuck here. So I definitely bring less and only what I need. And maybe things that I might need. But I don't really bring crap any more.

Sylvia "Unheard tracks"
It's kind of interesting. MY favorite part was the dings and the cars on the freeway.
And if the pieces could be longer that would have been cool. I also really like the people walking and the different sounds in the different quadrants.

Clarence "Living Room Time Lapse"
This video has me confused. He was trying out time lapse. Made 3 separate ones, and layered them.
I'm not a fan of the silence. I would probably add sound to the things he did.

Saba
Not sure how I feel about SO much talking with no video.
I don't like how the recordings have no video to them. She could have at least had some kind of plain shots.
I did really enjoy the person who recited the poem.
I felt like it proved her point very well. By making it personal, it made it more interesting and not just facts.

Chris & ?? - Zetta Kappa
Very well composed and shot. It was dark, but I saw a little online and it was not as dark at all.
It was pretty well written, acting was not bad at all. The music and sound effects were great.
Especially all the sound effects of them hitting the zombies and stuff. People get so bored they turn into zombies or people get so into studying they turn into zombies.
Looked pretty professional. I really enjoyed it.

Cindy - Light Bodies
This is a very experimental video. Makes me think of aliens. I didn't like the text cause it takes away from the image because I have to try and read it while the pretty image is going on.


Ahhh!! Aaron is still not here and he has the video!!!!!! We can't show nothing!!!


Soching
I really like the music and the concept. This projector is lammmmmeee!!!
Very interesting how she created the stop motion. The reversing effect was pretty cool. Definitely kept my attention and I had no idea what was going on in the part where he burns the letter, until it was played backwards.

Aaron & Gracie - Bum life
People thought it was composed well.
Cindy really liked it. She knew someone like that. Made during a budget crisis, which went well. She liked the cuts.
Chris thinks the story was good. Could have used better camera/sound equipment.
We experimented with movement with the camera, but the shots didn't turn out the way we wanted it to.
If extended:: Bringing in idea that Niel never asked the bum about the issue at hand.
Same thing happening to Niel. Chris says it could be re-written to be a feature.

4K PROJECTSSSSS

Nick
SOOO cooool!!!!! I love the way the videos crash into each other. And when all the pieces swirl around the sun.
They are lost in the internet universe. The black hole of the internet!!!
I really enjoyed it and thought it was awesome. Would be cool to have the 0 view videos hit the popular videos and crash, while the popular videos live.

Chelsea
Pretty awesome piece. I loved that I could tell what movies most of the lines were from.
The gender flips were interesting. It made the concept feel different. The flipping of geners makes it awkward a little bit.

Final Critiques Day 1

Andy-
I really enjoy the music. He edited it and chopped it a little bit, but it still sounds really good the way he mixed it.
The images are also very nice and I just find pixel moshing very interesting because I've only seen it a few times before.
It's beautiful in its own way.
Remixes were playing at the same time as the original. Seems to be a very confusing way of how Andy put it together.
But it turned out really well and I personally really enjoyed it.
Seems like mots the people in the class enjoyed it.
Pixel Moshing is confussssinnnnggggg!!

Katy + Vanessa
Second Life
Glitching. Seems interesting from what we've seen. I'm really enjoying the music. It matches well with what's going on.
Video over lapping is really cool. Especially how her second life character walks up to the real life her.
Very dramatic lighting along with the overlapping of the second life images coincide really well together. I liked this better than when they talked about their final before it was made. I really enjoyed it.
The ending was maybe a bit over dramatic, her killing herself Mostler merged by overlay. They used one scene with projection.

Natasha
Photographs made into a movie.
Parts where it sees what her eyes see.
Mixing realities with memories.
Sounds was very good. It matched the video very well.
She used library walk, and granted it's seen in many students projects, it still fits very well and it actually makes sense because library walk is always full of people and she's all by herself.
I really like the part where the girls is looking at her photos, and the photos were all inviting her in.
The ending leaves the viewer guessing and wondering if she goes into her memories or not.
I really enjoyed it because I love photography, so it's interesting to see how people incorporate photos into videos because it's not often when it happens.

Kendall
Stop motion flip book.
Music went fairly well with the movements and such. It's a creative idea to turn a flip book into stop motion.
Really enjoyed it.

Production of Final

Yesterday Aaron and I shot all day.
We didn't come across many problems, other than the fact that his shot gun mic needed and adapter to hook up to my iphone.
So we couldn't find a way to connect the two. So we just used the shot gun on Aaron's camera.
We took many different angled shots of each scene, and there will be different shots put together.
The actors acted very well. They are friends with Aaron from the musical he is in this quarter, so they have acting experience.
I told Aaron that he is lucky that he knows alot of theather students because alot of Media students don't know alot of theater students and end up having to use friends who've never acted before.
We spent all day shooting basically, from 11 to 5. It was alot to do!!
I think the point in our video comes across very well. And after editing it will be pretty clear.
There were two scenes that couldn't be recorded yesterday, so Aaron is shooting with the actors today.
I couldn't meet up with them because I had class.
We are meeting early on Tuesday to look at editing and color correction.
I have alot of experience color correcting, so hopefully I can put it to use on his editing system, Premiere.
I use final cut 10, so I have no idea how to use Premiere.
But I guess we will see.
I'm glad we are going on Thursday.

Final Video Update

I have no idea how to find and copy MTV videos from the internet, so I'm not to sure my idea will work.....
Or maybe I can use some of these if I can find enough footage. with Janelle and her mom.

Hmmm, yea, none of those videos work because Youtube sucks!!!
