Been quite awhile since the last post, I've been caught up in this frenzy of catching up with the news and it has turned me a little bit bitter. Sometimes I ask friends a few questions and we immediately jump into an argument - the beauty of politics. I feel like I've been so detached from the world, sitting inside my little bubble blissfully ignorant of life outside it. It has become such a ghastly place recently - the U S of A and I'm ashamed I didn't make myself aware of it much earlier.
BUT! On the bright side it gave me a great concept for a film that I think has enough merit to pursue to the end. I don't know if I'll be able to tell the whole story in anything around ten minutes though but we'll see... maybe 20 will do (10 minutes is already ambitious -.-). With a few tips from my friend Jim, I came up with a sketch of the protagonist - Milton James Harvey.
This is the evolution of the Moe character - pretty neat how far he's gone :)
Speaking of Moe I did this really small commercial clip using a Butterfinger bar. I'll admit that I had 8 days to do it, slacked off the first 4, got sick the next 3, and did this overnight haha. I am so driven -.- Because of the time restraint I'm not really proud of it, but practice is practice none-the-less. The light was too low, the clip was too short, the list goes on and on... but my dad and I got to make some chairs!
Here it is:
Wow man!
ReplyDeletethats a finished piece. Im very impressed!!
the video is a little dark didnt see alot the first time......maybe up the brightness a bit.
otherwise....very well done.
jriggity
Tony, it sounds like you have an interesting scenario there... I like the sketchs of your protagonist. And the clip with Butterfinger bar is looking great :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, thanks guys! Yeah the lighting was definitely low, the overhead light I was using was so weak but it was the only one I could hang above my set on such short notice so I had to use longer exposures with less light all around. The clip suffered because of it - but it let me learn a little about lighting :) On to more practice!
