This was a first semester assignment where I had to create something autobiographical using the mini DV camera.
I decided that I would document my hometown and put a little twist on it. Like it has changed so much I cant remember it. I suppose there is a certain amount of atmosphere here. Working with limited knowledge of the camera and FCP7 I think that the final product isn't too bad.
I'm really not going to critique this one because it is obvious what could be critiqued in it. It was my first semester and I had only used this equipment for a month.
My latest project for Concepts was a collaborative effort between me and two of my classmates. The assignment was to document an encounter. I think that our storyboard is relatively straightforward but I guess that for you to decide.
So this was my first creative project for grad school. It is a digital photography based project using a Canon EOS 7D camera. The project was to document a place while interjecting a narrative, providing the class with enough information so that they would be able to figure out both. We we only allowed to use 30 slides max. As you can see, I took two of my friends for a day in the woods of Bedford, NY. Our goal was to find the beautiful, flowing river which once split the Mianus River Gorge, unfortunately what we came across was a desolate space reminiscent of some sort of post apocalyptic terrain. To make matters worse, upon getting lost on the way back to the car, my friends met with some truly tragic circumstances. I shot about 1200 images and narrowed it down to 28. Each image was mildly altered in Photoshop (basically just cropping them). Then, the images were put together using IMovie where I also added the sound effects and the main piano theme which you hear in the beginning and end of the slideshow. All in all I think it came out pretty well considering it to be the first time I have ever used an advanced digital camera AND IMovie. This video embedded from my YouTube channel.
