28 Days Later Crack




    For this assignment, I failed to find a pinpoint definition to a 'crack' video. Doing some research on Youtube, I found a mix of two things: First, videos of movie scenes being synced to music or dialogue from other movies for stylistic effect, and the second and more abundant kind of video were of movies being synced to music or dialogue for comedic effect - with nearly all of all of these using TV static to cut between its sequences (similar to the TV series Robot Chicken). Wanting to try something new, I decided to do a little bit of both, and as such I took a horror movie - 28 Days Later - and synced it to lighthearted music that didn't fit the scene at all. When working on the finishing touches of this video I had actually discovered that my idea wasn't too original, as other users on Youtube had actually done the same thing with other horror movies. Nonetheless, I was satisfied with how the final product came out.



Enjoy - Not recommended for the faint of heart however.

Cloud Delta

     Seeing this assignment gave me a great idea to utilize a song that's been stuck in my head for the past few days, and the opportunity to play around with one of my favorite movies; Using iMovie, I put together 3 different scenes from the movie Cloud Atlas, and synced it to play with a song called Delta by C2C, a band consisting of 4 French DJ's.     It seems disjointed without seeing the movie and understanding the context of the scenes, but it's still entertaining to watch nonetheless. Enjoy!

The Visuals of Storytelling

    This week I was tasked to do some reading on how to become a better photographer, as well on what elements create the narrative and tell the story for visual presentations. From the readings I learned that nearly every detail in a picture, video, or movie can be tweaked to design the desired narrative and emotional effect in a visual presentation - the objects in the foreground or background, the spatial awareness in the shot, the contrast of different colors or objects within the shot, etc. I then went back to some of my favorite superhero movies and paused them for a moment to analyze and attempt to identify the narrative that the creator may have intended for that particular shot.    First i went back and watched a somewhat dramatic piece, "The Dark Knight Rises". I paused the movie during one of my favorite moments, when Bruce Wayne climbs to his freedom after being injured and imprisoned by the villain Bane. In this particular shot I recognized firs...

Bad and Sunny

    For this assignment, I had the task of finding a music video and placing a new song behind it while trying to make the two fit as best as possible. When thinking about how I would somehow make essentially two songs fit together, I decided to pick two songs that happened to have the same BPM (Beats Per Minute), and use the video for one. Luckily enough, The Beatles and Migos with Lil Uzi Vert had something in common - their BPM. Overall it all turned out pretty well too - Enjoy!
