so far so good!

SO far i have throughly enjoyed the class. The experimental projects that we are doing in class so far remind of the films i saw in Kruels class a year or more ago when i first took intro to film. The stop motion animation films and shorts that we watched last class were both inspiring and strange. I enjoyed the time and thought that pes puts into the simplest of projects, ranging from the movment of couch change to the classic toys and antique keys in his creative shorts such as kaboom. Since i've already done some stop motion antimation when I was younger in high school with my parents old 8mm video camera from the early 90's. I most used rough clay figures, houes hold objects, or even food such as ham sandwich beacuse of these experiments those short really hit home for me. The brothers Quey kinda of wigged me out did really find it to appealling since i never really knew what was going on!

On anoher note the elements: earth wind fire water project is sick. The fact that im dealing directly with film is very cool. And the more creative options that i have with the film the better. The more scratching, bleaching, magizine transfer, and painting the more interesting the project becomes. This basic form of direct film art is very interesting to me. It's nice to see somthing so raw with out the polish of post production digital effects.
