48hr block party (with Dora the explorer)

This project was my favorite to make/ view, during the 48-hour time period i was extremely pressed for time. Making the project that much more rewarding for me after its completion. Basically i didn't have any idea what i could do for this project or how for that matter i was going to shoot it......cell phone, digital video mode on a still camera, scanner, frame by frame stills all possible, but with time being such a large factor i all could think about was which one was the most attainable. But then all at once after hearing a tech-no song the night before (which i replaced with the Kings of Leon) i thought of something simple and very beat savvy, as well as something obvious to the viewer that could be shot in a single location.... the changing of my clothes to the beat of a song (with blocks). Which to my surprise was a hit with people........ NICE!
But after all the projects where finished and then screened i was nothing shy of inspired by all the creativity that unfolded with three simple blocks in a 48 hour time span as well as the quality of work that was presented at the screening.

The after party end of the year screenings was fun and the cider was banging.......thanks for the memories!

Hey DJ, play dat tune!

Rhythmic editing....... this project was what you made it, on one hand it was a great chance to be creative, on the other hand it was the most monotonous project that i had produced all semester. The concept behind my project was two prospectives conjoining to tell a story, the first perspective being an on looker watching a person play with their dog. The second was the dogs perspective coming into the house and seeing what a dog sees and steps (she) must go through to end up with a dog treat. I used obvious objects (blue door, dog bones) and similar movements to help the audience know from the first couple of clips that it was two point of views where telling the same story in the same space. After everything was shot and i was in the editing lab from there i wanted to place the clips in the 5,15,10,5 frame pattern as random as possible by not repeating any pattern twice (on purpose) to see if the audience could follow the "clues" and there by follow the story of the two POV's.
