My Self Portrait / Music Video

... I really enjoyed this project. I of course used my family as my inspiration. I first just filmed my everyday life.. hanging out with my girls... etc. Then I begin to wonder if it was just too much. Yeah... cause there was no way I was going to fit almost an hour or taping into a 3 minute short. So, I pretty much spent much of my time in the lab saying no.. don't need that... no not that... not to serious.. and so on. My finished project I used the things that matter to me most. I am glad with that.

MUSIC VIDEO
Over the weekend I had an opportunity to meet with our music group. They are some really nice guys and their music is really cool. I assume that everyone has a copy of the song. (Thanks to Michael) Our last group meeting was good.. so when the dust settles from our own self portraits we should really get together soon and make a plan!!

Project 1

The Finished Project
- Happy as a dog with two tails…
What a laugh.. I am so glad that it is over with. I was really excited in the beginning of this assignment. I thought that it would be really cool to mix all the sounds together and then add the pictures.. Etc. etc.. but after while honestly it was all just so frustrating. When it got down to putting it all together to complete the project imagine my surprise when I found out that my partner did not know final cut… and imagine her surprise when she found out that I did not know final cut.. Well it was like the blind leading the blind. I know that this was surely a set up for failure. On Saturday afternoon up until the late evening.. We were still in the lab trying to figure things out… and it still wasn’t good enough. At least not until…. We ran into some other students working on their project they were kind enough to give us a crash course they were able to give us some great pointers…. And thank heavens our project is now complete. It may not be the best of the best but we came along way. If nothing else we now know final cut… (A little more now since yesterday) Thanks for the help!

Light Source

Light Source 1
In a poorly lite room on the table there is a candle in a red class candle holder
It sits upon a white table cloth. As we sit at the table as air blow cross the top of the
Candle it flickers light across the table and ceiling. As we sit and talk the candle illuminates our faces it looks a little spooky .The light bounces off the glasses on the table and shimmers against the silverware. The table cloth reflects shades of pink..
Light Source 2
I sit at a table next to a window…. My only light source is the sun that shines through. My back is turned to it but it shines onto the book I am reading.. Give or take a few shadows from the shades… The sun casts shadows across the pages of my book as well as shadows across the table moving across the floor just touching the end of the hall.
