I thought this was pretty funny...but the synchronization was off!

OMG STOP MOTION! (the best is last)

So, even though I don't think I have the patience to do it, I absolutely love watching stop motion.



That was amazing! I don't even want to think about how much time and effort went into this; not only in the actualy filming, but also in the designing and layout. Not only are you doing stop motion, but you're having to deal with the inconsistances and unreliability of candles! It's amazing. Also, old Nintendo for the win!

I felt like this was really, really smooth animation.



I have a friend who loves rubik's cubes, so I emailed this to her. I was only able to find one inconsistancy. Can you find it?

And, of course, the best is last.



There is so much that is beautiful, sad, elegant, amazing, breathtaking, creative, and mystical about this. It's absolutely incredibly, and I definitely recommend watching it. It's totally worth it.

Heart wrencher

I think it's pretty cute =)

Super Cute!

I thought this was adorable, even though it's a GE ad. I guess at least they're trying, right?

Short Horror Film

I was surfing youtube and I found a few student-made short horror films. This one runs a little under six minutes, but I thought it did an excellent job of creating a story, making it suspenseful, and also adding a creepiness factor.



There's a shot at the end I thought was really well done. It's where the killer comes up behind the girl, and we see it happening through the shadows on the wall. I was thinking of all the lighting and placement that had to go into the shot, and I thought it was really well done.

The Princess Bride

The script that I looked at was William Goldman's The Princess Bride (http://www.godamongdirectors.com/scripts/princess.shtml).

I was actually a little surprised at how closely the movie followed the script. Most of the differences I noticed were just small changes in dialogue, possibly unintentionally added by the actors. I was really amused to see that the wedding scene was written exactly the way it was performed:

Mawidge...mawidge is what bwings us togewer today...

So awesome.

I was also really surprised how stupid the dialogue looks on paper. It's amazing what a great group of actors can do.

The Holocaust cloak scene was nice to actually read on paper. Andre the Giant (Fezzik) had an incredibly thick accent, and in the movie it's difficult to understand what he's saying at that particular part. It was nice to read it, so now I will officially be able to quote the movie start to finish!
