6x1 part 2

I suppose you could expand upon the 1 min film idea in a few different ways. You could incorporate the intermedia ideas, like still photos, flash etc... I enjoyed using the older filming techniques like the Bolex. With all the technology overload, I find the older cameras and using film instead of video quite refreshing. It has a different texture and feel. If we had and optical printer maybe you could do something with that. You could vary the length and call it two squared and do 3-two min films. You could also do a longer project incorporating the different techniques learned.

Mystery workshop

The star wars segment, I do not know did not feel like I had much time for this one. Updated response to workshop, I really enjoyed the 3-d shooting, i would like to try this on my own. I think I remember the steps but when I attempt it, I might need a reminder on the steps, right eye /left eye. 50% opacity, alpha channel left eye, I think. I really like the hands on expreimental aspect of this class. Although I have no intention to do this sort of filming, I believe in gives you knowledge and a wider range of tools to uses, even doing conventional film.

Rough Theater

My rough theater is taking the unexpected and unknown and making something with it.

Yes Man

I thought this was a great film, as it relates to the video race, I suppose taking whatever senario is presented to you and running with it. By acting like representatives from the WTO and subvering their own doctrine in contridication to the guise of who they were representing it is amazing of what you can get away with.

saturday shoot

I thoroughly enjoyed the long shot assignment, Ever since then i have been obsessed with finding a Bolex camera. I like the way the film looks and enjoy the lack of technology with the camera. I have been watching ebay for bolex cameras that are in good condition and I can afford. I am interested in trying to do the entire process, filming, developing and the transferring to digital. having total control over the process.

ideas for 48 hour race

Not knowing what the mystery prop will be I focused on how I was going to capture the film. I found a child's underwater still camera and thought I would try shooting whatever the prop will be underwater.
