video feed back

This is the feedback from my client

This is quite intriguing and gave me vertigo as i was in the position of the builders up high! I didn't realise it was going to say coca cola till the end, so that was clever. I think the thing that is lacking from the video as it stands is the sense that you might be critiquing globalisation. Is there something you can add for the exhibition that will give us this perspective, for as it stands, I'd read it as coca cola is great- almost like a clever ad for it. Is there something which could counter this that could go alongside?

I'm glad the Coca Cola sign wasn't obvious till the end. If i did this again, i would try to get on a multiplayer server and have one view of it being built at a distance with two people building the logo. As for the exhibition add on, I could write a piece to go along side explaining the concept.

final video

This is the final video i have made.

I am now awaiting feed back from the client.

Today

Today i have been watching time-lapse videos on YouTube, to give me an idea of what i need to do for my video.

For Example:

I would not be able to do a Time-lapse like this one because i don't have a modded server, so i will have to Record myself making it in first person.

Stuff Ive made in Minecraft

Todays lesson

Today i had a go at building 8bit characters in minecraft.

I made a Avatar of Mr. T and Megaman.

I Also measured the amount of blocks you can stack in Minecraft, (32) so i can make sure i can fit everything in when i come to do the final Video.

Image progression

This post is to show some things that can be done in Minecraft,

I Started with this photo and put it into Illustrator and added a grid to draw in lines that look 8Bit.

Here is the image with the 8Bit mask over the top, i then took this image and coped it into Minecraft by building it from blocks.

Here is the image in Minecraft 8Bit.

24 hours check point

At the 24 hour mark of our project, i have so far been exploring both my ideas using Mincraft to create figures and building and i have also been drawing some 2d animation.

For far it has been going well. i have converted full quality pictures into 8 bit the created it in Minecraft.

next i plan to do an in-depth look at other people who have responded to Globalization though media, hopefully as related to what i am doing as i can.

Final Video

Here is the final video for my pilot web show.

Final Video/Rough Cut comparison

Video Stats

This is the viewing statistics of SDC.

The chart shows that sins the video has been online its had 52 plays so far, only 16 of those plays have been watched all the way though, wether this means people are stopping the video before the credits finnish, or people don't like it and give up half way is unknown.

The comments posted generally leads me to believe people like the show, people saying things like,

"I really enjoyed watching this webisode because I find it very funny to watch. I like all of the special effects which have been used and I would definitely watch the next episode if there was to be one."

And

"I like the use of different shots, especially when one of dancer's falls backwards into the other dancer's arms, and you see it from their point of view. Also, quite funny in places. Good use of special effects for the superpowers."

Rough Cut

Rough cut SDC LIAM ROB SVEN from cmdiploma on Vimeo.

This is the Rough Cut for S.D.C. The class Feed back was:

+Good use of dance

+Funny

+Montage looks good

+good use of casting

+reverse shot

+music

-dose not make sense

-Sound/dubbing

Teacher (Steve) feedback:

I have to say I know it’s a roughcut but I found myself following quite intently right to the end. Probably maybe because I was in it! There is a good flow with the action, classroom setups at the beginning, dance routines being practiced and then the corridor scene all build up the characters and general story. I’m looking forward to seeing how the special effects add to it all. This will obviously tighten up the editing of the parts that have the added effects.

Action man ... Plan

1. test footage of teleporting

2.compleet animatic

3.rehursal for filming tomorrow

4.dance routines

Today we managed to complete some test footage for our web pilot, we have found a way for us to make Billy teleport.

Here is some more test footage of super powers for the web show, invisibility.

Market Research

Today we made a poll, Asking which webisode to produce... Sci-fi Dance comedy, Horror/Thriller, Modern day cowboys

here is an image of the results:

This table shows that people we asked in the age group 16-19 are not as interested in cowboys films as horror or Sci-fi-hybrids.

Genre Ingredience

1. Narrative ----> Exposition, Development, Complication, Climax, Resolution

2.Themes ----> Comen theme presented in new ways, audiences are not keen on change!

3.Settings ----> Verisimilitude creating a believable word but knowing it still not real

4.Characters ----> Character types - range/target audiences

5.Iconography ----> Props - mise en scene that we expect to see may also include action

Movie Poster remake

Book Research

George Lucas - by Jim Smith

under Copyright act of 2003

First published by Virgin books Ltd in Grate Britain

Thames Wharf studios

Rainville Road

London

I chose this book because one of my ideas it to make a light-saber fight video. I picked this up because i thought it may contain information about George Lucas' creation of the star wars films.

Film directing Shot by Shot - by Steven d. Katz

Under Copyright act of 1991

published by Michael Wiese Productions, 3960 Laurel Canyon Blvd

I picked up this book because for both my ideas i will need a variety of different shot types.

I think this book is about different camera angles and shot.

I think this book will help because it contains different shot types and ways of story-boarding.

My Saatchi review

The Saatchi Gallery is the first place to go for new and innovative modern art, with a range of very different art styles.

This modern art invokes many different opinions for example, "The work in this show feels lighter in spirit than British art has for a generation."

(Richard Dorment - Daily Telegraph)

I felt a little underwhelmed when in the Gallery, with only two rooms really doing anything for me, The oil room and the room full of speakers.

I think i preferred them because of the scale of the piece.

A quote from Charlotte Sinclair of vogue, "if the exhibition had happened at the Tate Gallery it might have been less amazing in a way, but because it was at the old, fuddy-duddy

Royal Academy it, suddenly took off."

I found much of the art in the show to be strange or slightly confusing, not to my taste. But a few select pieces were utterly amazing, For example 'Untitled' a room full of 300

speakers all connected to a self playing piano playing an erie sound track.

I enjoyed the Gallery and show as a hole but disliked allot of the work in it.

"The art is less attention-seeking than anything seen in the headline-grabing YBA era"

(Andy Warhol - Artist)

Film remake assessment

What people in my group did!

Emma: Worked hard making play doe plus delivering a killer line!

"where's your locker?"

Tina: Also made all the play doe food with emma and gave most of the direction for the camera during the shoot.

Alex: was the camera man for the shoot, and edited half the video.

Charna: played pedro in the video and also secured a locker for us to use. i don't think she wanted to be in the video, but stepped up when Alex wouldn't. Plus edited the second half of the video.

Constructive feed back!

Emma: Nick said emma was in the background laughing. but delivered her line well.

Tina: i find Tina could of been more open about participating in the video, but gave good direction on angles for Alex

Alex: I found Alex not willing to participate in the Video and gave no reason why, but his camera work came out well.

Charna:

Todays Task

Today we were given a task to recreate a scene from a film.
we were given a scene from Napoleon Dynamite.
The sequence included three characters, some dialogue and some challenges in terms of camerawork and editing.

we were told to replicate the sequence

Emma, Christine, Rob, Charna, Alex Napolean task from cmdiploma on Vimeo.

EX PRO

1st idea!

A music video, with a song written by me and a few friends, then recorded so we have a clean soundtrack to lip-sync and play-sync too, this will give us a better quality edit and a cleaner sound to lip-sync to. then record and edit the music video.

2nd idea!

A short film, based on star wars including a light saber battle with intercut narrative.

(depending on the outcome of the after effects lesson. that will be this week NICK!)

Here is an Example!
