One more video project with RenEnder!

Hey Sp7/11

For this video project I teamed up with another class mate, Red Ender, to create a video project built around special premises of our own choosing. We call this format, No-Shot-Stop Video. The idea behind it is to express the idea in only one take and quickly move on to the next, then later in production we maintain the idea of simplicity is continued by utilizing software people can gain access to easily, and put in very little or no special effects.

 Inpiration for our video came from the MV for the song N'importe Comment by The Toxic Avenger featuring Orelsan. In this video they illustrate the functions of facebook as if they could apply to real life.

In our video we take the same idea and apply it to twitter using our No-Shot-Stop format.

 
It is rough around the edges, but that is the nature of our format. The idea behind it is that everyone can express themselves through digital storytelling without fancy tricks and equipment and still come out with something which expresses ones thoughts and feelings.
I hope you enjoyed our project, and thank you for watching.

Other project!

Hey Sp7/11!

This is a post related to the lines that I made for each of the movies, as we can see the lines are basically talking about the character. I can see that probably for me the most important thing in movies is the characters and their thinking. I actually realize it during this project and the movies I watched after made me confirm it, so it is another thing I learn doing this project. It may be a good exercise to understand ourself a little more, seeing what I the most important thing we see in a movie and why it is. I identify myself with the characters and thats why I love all kind of movies, the story is very important but the evolution and personality of the characters is more important. I feel same way with TV shows I need to feel that the characters is "part" or "related" to something inside me (hard to explain) but it works.

Once I read a study that TVshow that stay for long time is because show what ppl want to be and feels identify with them. For instance, I dont wanna be a professional boxer (even close to that) but i feel very identify with Rocky in all his movies. I love his spirit and his thinking about life, I admire him and try to follow his "advices" and his recommendation in some parts of my life. In the other hand maybe some people only see the story as main thing, I dont know Please give me some feedbacks in what is important for you and why? I m very curious in what is the most common one..

I was thinking a lot (still this class is a real MIND BLOWER) I cannot stop having ideas but after them evolve to other completely different and I dont know what to do anymore!!

So finally I decided to:

Make an audio recorded modulated so its distortioned for each of the lines. I used the software TALK IT! its free and its very cool! basically you put the test and voices read it! you have a lot of voices you can use and can change the speed etc..


The lines that I made are:




Movie 1:

" A polititian that falls in love with a random women and it would do anything and fight against his destiny to get her"

Movie 2:


"Our story happen in the future after third world war. Feeling are illegal, anyone who feels will be prosecuted by the goverment."

Movie 3:



"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

Movie 4:


"Our characters have to take refuge in a mega store, where they get stuck and have to stay for long time, while the outside is getting more and more dangerous" Also I would love to put a quote that I love from zombie movies "When there is no more place in hell, The dead will walk the earth!"

Movie 5:

"The main character start to suffer pandorum effect (but not in Space) and people should help him realize what is real and what is not so he does not hurts anyone"

Movie 6:

"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team."

Movie 7:

"Our characters that have been following same path finally got different ways and each one must follow it. This choose will make them enemies for ever!"

Hope you enjoyed!Thank you!

New project based in previous!

Hey Sp7/11!

I have been thinking long time about my project.. I came up with sooo many different ideas in how to end up everything and tried to make it the best as possible.. Finally I decided to take into account professor Otto recommendation but take it with another perspective..

So i decided to make a Newspaper news about the movie. Which means that I create a story within the story of the movie and everything projected in a newspaper story..

I thought a lot about the story that I can explain in this project and finally watching youtube videos of old movie trailers I came up with a collage of some of the stories I watched. For instance the paper of the goverment trying to proctect law or citizens right but at the same time they are preventing their citizens to enjoy and learn from it. It is a very hard concept to explain in words but I think in the story I wrote we can see the idea.


What I used to make the news is basically photoshop and write the text around the pictures. I edited a little the picture and I made some newspaper research to see how it works. I am not so good writing, specially news, but I hope all of you will enjoy the story..

I will make another post putting all my lines and make something more!

Please give me more feedback!

Thank you all! Free art!

Movie Project!

Hey Sp711!

So finally I finish my project! I have been thinking a lot about how to finihs this project and finally I got to a decision.. maybe it is not the best one but it is the one that I liked the most..

First of all what I did is I took all the movie poster I post during this days.. With this poster I had to make the poster of my story.. Creating tittle using (blackout) and making the poster by matching all the posters.. I decided not to use ANYTHING external because if i do it will become too professional.. So i stick with the posters I posted.. It have been very challenging since the resource where limited.. but the final result it have been very greatful!

I used Photoshop and I basically start to cut and conect all movie poster together.. I applied some styles so it looks kind of better.. Also I decided not to touch the title backgrounds after cut them so it looks more collage and I liked it better..

This is the final result! (please check previos post to check that I did not use any external picture):


The tittle of my story/ movie:
"Rocky Pandorum, First equilibrium team bureu"

Rocky pandorum is my main character and the equilibrium team bureau is about the story that I took from the movies.. (that I will post in my next post)

Subtittle "Your world has been dead" Meaning that since feelings are illegal everything is dead!

In the poster there are several actors so its free choice for us to choose the one we think will be the main character...

Please give me feedback! I m very interested in your thinking because I m not good story teller or artist.. So I like to learn more and try to improve for my next projects!

Thank you for reading!

Movie number 7 and LAST! Xmen FIRST CLASS (2011)

Hey guys!

Today is my last movie post! Actually yesterday after class I went to cinema cus I wanted to watch the XMEN! I am actually not fan of this kind of cartoons and stuff, but my friends push me to go.. So i went.. I didnt like too much the previous 4 movies (only the wolfrine and because I really like hugh jackman).. So i was not expecting big things form this movie..

I am very happy to say that THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME! I really like it! specially because finally i understand a little of the past of Xmen.. before i thought i sjust a bounch of spidermans around there.. but no now i understand how it is..


What I liked the most about this movie is how show that u shouldnt care about your apperance and care more about who you really are.. Also I loved Magneto from previous movies, just because I m always with the bad guys.. in this movie you can see his evolution and HOW COOL he is! so what I got from this movie to put in my story is kind of the ending that EVERYONE SHOULD know before watch the movie if know about xmen..

Basically:

"Our characters that have been following same path finally got different ways and each one must follow it. This choose will make them enemies for ever!"

Tomorrow I will make the most of my project and lets see how it looks!

Thank you guys!

Movie Number 6! The A Team (2010)

Hey Sp711!

This last days have been very though because school have been sooo busy.. we are rapping up all our classes so all tests, papers and works  are making our lifes hard!!

But there is always 2 hours for relaxing and try to chill! So i decided to put a movie that is based in the famous TVSHOW the A team! I really loved that tv show so I expected the movie to be at least not bad!

The movie is good... but I expected a little more because the TVshow was sooo great that my benchmark was too high! Anyway its a good movie to spend one night with friends and relax! I recommened for study days!

Trailer:


This is my Movie number 6 so only 1 more to go! and we ll see the result of the project.. Maybe I m thinking in remake the project (since I got a very good suggestion from our teacher Otto!) I will explain it in the next post!

What I got for this movie is basically the intro of the TVshow (because I just love it and its my prject so I choose):

"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team."

Enjoy! Have a great night!

Movie number 5! Pandorum 2009!

Hey SP711!

Hope you had a wonderfull weekend! My weekend have been very busy.. i watched some movies and I decided that the movie I will use for my project is Pandorum! Its a sci Fy movie!



This movie is great! it plays with human mind and makes us think about our future!

Check the info here


It is very hard to choose one part because all the movie in general was great! So I decided to choose the movie explanation of the title: Pandorum effect! (a psychological disorder you develop in deep space) where you feel that everyone whats to kill you and become crazy.

My setence will be that:
"The main character start to suffer pandorum effect (but not in Space) and people should help him realize what is real and what is not so he does not hurts anyone"
