One Shot

Now project 4 was a fun one. I really liked working with the bolex. It was something that I had never done before and not may people in our class had. I brought anything I could find in my house that I thought would look good on film. It seemed to work out good with the costumes and insterments. everyone had imput in our group and that was nice. I was also fun because I think I was involed in every group but one and that made it that much more fun because you had a part in all of them and I know our film would not have been what it turned out to be without others helping and makeing and apperance. So that aspect made it more rich and fun and got everyone a chance to be a part of many projects that all had different looks and ideas. The editing went good me and colin just tried to make music that went with the project and look up some soulnd clips of flags and such. For the most part the final product turned out nice I think we could have stoped the music and done something unexpected with the sound maybe but for the most part I and happy with it.

I did want to blog about the first film that I saw at the film festival. The film was called Thread, It was a surfer film but what was interesting is that it was made by a filmmaker friom New York City so it was done by someone completly out of the surfing world which gave it a different feel then other surfing films. One of the best parts of the film was this story of this artist who would do these large patterns and pictures in the sand of the beach. The pictures looked like crop circles in the sand. Some he would start of by making circles about the size of pennies in the sand and move back and make the circles bigger and bigger until they were 15 feet wide. I;ll try to find a picture.
