Rough Rough Cut
Here is the rough rough cut that I showed at the critique session today. The file is an MP4 video file (24.9MiB), which you can easily download and view with VideoLan Client or Quicktime. I would very much appreciate anyone who downloads and watches it to give me scathing criticism on structure, shots that are [...]

The Red Camera
I ran across a very interesting thing during my research for my SOS: Media application, which I happen to be currently diligently working on (woo procrastination caused by imminent destruction!). At this blog entry, linked from this blog, found by this google search, I read about the camera Red, which completely blew my mind. Basically [...]

Witty Abandon
I have decided to scrap my project, which is entirely too much work, and really just isn’t working. In its stead, there will be a 10 minute video quite similar to the following, but likely more seizure-inducing and horrible. just kidding.

Thanks to a comment on a previous entry, and a trip to Jessica / Twigette’s myspace page, I happened accross a rather excellent video (higher quality) by the Visual Kei Japanese rock group Dir en Grey. It is a really inspirational music video, and I laughed out loud several times while watching it. Perhaps you [...]
A Conversation, and an Update on Progress
I made a very rough video in 1.5 hours, for a guy who was paying $15 per video you uploaded to his website, which is interestingly devoted to probing the phenomena of online instant message conversations through the medium of user-submitted re-enactment videos. Being somewhat intrigued by this idea, and somewhat poor, I submitted a [...]
