The Ranking of all the Projects

1. My favorite video we had to do was the Direct Address video letter. I decided to use a scanner to make my video. I had a lot of fun manipulating the scanner by moving objects around to create a distorted look. I used a couple frames to create a sort of stop motion effect. I also messed around with the colors of the frames so they didn't always look the same. I figured I'd address the audience by putting up words they could read instead of just saying them out loud. This was mainly my favorite because of the freedom that it allowed us to create.

2. My Next favorite was the Bollex long take. Going outside and staging our film was a lot of fun to do. Getting everyone together and seeing it on the screen was a treat and showing our sensory elements was cool too.

3 My third favorite was the Rhythmic edit. Teaming up with Porshia to create two different videos showed how crazy our ideas could get. Editing Porshia's video was a challenge but I'm glad about how it turned out.

4. My forth favorite would have to be the Earth Art Animation. I feel that this project gave me an appreciation for stop motion and how much work and thought goes into making those kind of films.

5. My fifth favorite was the Direct Film Manipulation. Messing with the film by punching holes, drawing on it, putting pieces of comic books was cool and seeing it all put together was a treat to see.

6. My least favorite goes to the Creative Crowdsourcing. Maybe its just me but it definitely took me a bit to get everything scanned and put together. It is process that takes time and while I'm glad mine images turned out fine, I just didn't enjoy this project as much as I did the others projects we did.

Daniel Tammet Different Ways of Knowing Response

After watching the Ted Talk's on Daniel Tammet, I had to applaud him for the fact that even though he is a savant and autistic, he didn't seem like it. Most media portray autism stereotypical and it was refreshing to see someone like Tammet, go above that and even made a joke about how savants are thought as. Going into the Ted Talk, I really enjoyed watching and seeing how his synesthesia makes perceive things differently. When he was talking about how he sees numbers as colors and shapes, I found that very interesting. I see numbers as just numbers, not as a spectrum of colors and shapes. I also liked that he can see the numbers as art, like when he made a painting out of the number pi. Art can be found in almost anything that we can think and Tammet strives to find it in anywhere he can. I also liked his idea of what a word can mean by how it sounds. It is a concept I can get behind and that is how I usually think of words when I try to figure out what they mean. Finally, th...

Rhythmic Edit Experience

So when I set out on doing my rhythmic edit, it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do. I brainstormed what we could do with my alter ego. I eventually decided on a guy who is very over protective but wants to ride a bike in spite of that. When Porshia came over to my house, I had gathered all my equipment on the table, and went through everything I wanted to do with Porshia. I started with myself getting my gear on, going outside, opening the garage, and getting on my bike. I'm very good at doing stunts on my bike so I knew how to fall properly and the gear I had on helped prevent any injuries. As I was falling down, the neighbor next door asked if I was okay, and I said that I'm fine, I'm doing it on purpose. After we'd finished filming my alter ego, we went and shot Porshia's. I wasn't sure exactly what her alter ego was suppose to be. She had a mask she bought from the drug store, a fake snake and a lighter all together. We started with the lighte...
