One Minute Movie

This was an especially fun project because we were given a short amount of time to cooperate, brainstorm, shoot and composite everything. This usually makes for a good project because the movie actually gets done. I enjoyed practicing my directing with people and having them see things the way I wanted the scene to come out. I was glad that the team had similar ideas as me, that they could get what I was talking about and were cool with using everyone's ideas.
P.S.- this video gave me a laughing induced asthma attack.

Car Crash

This was a neat project because we got to go outside and stand in the street. It is actually nice to go outside sometimes and this project took a lot of cooperation among everyone.

Difficulties: Communication is always the number one issue when it comes to working with people especially when you want them to see what you are seeing in your head. That day we had people standing across the street trying to work a green screen with cars coming and a camera pretty far away from the green screen. This made it tough for everyone to be on the same page. However in the end we followed the tutorial and it came out decent and we all went out for fried ice cream.

Apple Quasar: Final

I tried to figure out what kind of scenario would take place in which the kinds of visual effects we learned over the semester would most believably happen. I also have always wanted to do a trippy sequence with intense music and visuals.

Difficulties: The only difficulties in this one came from not getting enough footage in a certain take or keeping the camera on something or someone long enough. This included the normal scenes and when my friends were on the green screen. That lead to some work on my part in post production but good to learn from. These guys were such good actors though that directing them was easy and it seems as though they were born ready every day to play a part in a movie, just hoping to act silly in some way. What made this project easy as well was that there is so much green screen footage online that I can key and use in my projects like the moving R2-D2. It would be fun to make something like this for my capstone, a little longer and with more plot and people on green screen.
