Gold Key Ceremony

So the ceremony is this wednesday at the Newmark. Now this is what I know:

1. I will be going last

2. I am going to be introduced

3. I will introduce my film to the audience then while they watch it I will sit in the darkness for three and a half minutes and wait...


Now I haven't been there for about three years. The last time I was for the Platform International Animation Festival and that was really fun (Adult Swim was there and they had Robert Osborne introduce their new show teasers, a joke I didn't get until about a year ago). During my say there I was on the ground floor of the theater. My eyes were always fixed on the the stage so I never really looked up. I just looked at some pictures online of the main theater and I never realized the scope of the room-

A full house would be something.

I'm not clever enough to think up a witty conclusion to this, so this is where this ends.

Critque

My concentration is: Storytelling through the Cinematic Arts.
I apologize if you cannot read all of the text. Please let me know where you have difficulty reading or what part of the story you want to talk about by citing the panel(s) (example: I Like this (panels 1-6) because...)

Some screenshots and Critique

I just found some screen shots and I wanted to put them up. These are from some movies that I think really exemplify cinematography and good use of blocking. especially the middle two.

movies
1) A Fistfull of Dollars
2) Ran
3) Ran
4) Yojimbo

I should put this kind of stuff up more often. Oh and I've almost completed the storyboard for "Between Gentlemen"


Uploading videos takes forever so here's a link to some of my concentration pieces.

My Concentration is "Storytelling through the Cinematic Arts" and here are three full fledged videos:

Yee Haw. So my next storyboard is going to be a western. I'm even putting in the time to write a screenplay for it. It should be enjoyable for all of you. Somebody said that I should put dialogue in future work. well I'm giving it a try and the possibility of doing extra panels for that makes me somewhat angry. But so far the intro is dialogue based.

I don't like the fact that my ideas are poorly timed with Hollywood. I've wanted to do a western for the past four or five months and now the Coen Brothers make me feel like a band wagoner.

Also my Films seem to be getting more and more violent. for example:
1. Pulp. people getting punched
2. Fragile... okay nothing happens there
3. Between Gentlemen. people get shot
4. Western movie. People get shot and killed, worse too.

...maybe a comedy next, I might not be funny enough for that.


and do you have any suggestions for a Western movie title?

A man of the break

Being so busy, does make one think.

That there is little time for this...


I still feel like I'm behind and irresposible. Working hard is funny that way

c'est moi

Dear Ms. McBride, Here is the photo you requested. I hope it pulls a big smile on your face

Another Update

I'm almost done with my animation and that's really exciting.
Ran (1985) is on TV right now and that's great because it's a really good movie.
I need to work on homework and go on a run but i can do the latter later.
two more weeks until winter break, that's nice.
uhhmm... oh I got about six or so photos done for the WOA and I think they all look pretty good.
What else... nothing except to remind myself about the secret Santa
