Fun with 3D

The 3D camera shoot was an awesome day. I'm glad Andre actually got ours fixed up after the issues we were having with after effects. But it came out great.

It pretty much worked the way I thought it would have to work with the 2 camera setup eye-width apart. The tough stuff was perfecting what filters to use and wear to move the 2nd image in after effects. But all in all it ended with relative ease and I know my group had a blast. Any day you get to do soul train during class is a good day.

I actually decided to do a quick edit of our soul train dance with music, just for shits n giggles. And the making of our own 3D glasses was crucial. (Although note for next time: bring more colors of paper...i got stuck with white...) Anywho, I loved the 3D shoot. Alotta fun, and I def learned a cool new trick that i'll probably be using soon for a future project or just for fun.

6x1 part dos.....

Being as that I'm probably not the most in tune with experimental film, I wouldn't know much other experimental projects that could be done than what we've done so far. I will say that no matter what, a fort must be built in every 6x1 class. that was awesome.
Having said that, maybe a sort of "Given" footage project could be done. Where you give us a certain amount of film from random other projects or stuff that you've done, and we would have to create something out of it. It kind of resembles found footage but it provides a nice little artistic constraint on our part.
I would say more working with actual film. Even just using the small regular 8 that you had was pretty fun and interesting. Maybe even incorporating a little more animation would be fun. Learning a little after effects or flash would be cool. 1 minute animations can always look pretty sweet.
Maybe even doing an interesting "star wars uncut" type of deal but with a different movie. You could cut up a certain scene into 16, 1 minute segments, and each student (or pairs or whatever) would have to recreate that scene, and then you would attach all the segments together.
Other than that I can't really think of too many other 1 minute productions....I think part I of 6x1 covers quite a bit.

Rough Theater

I feel as though in an odd twist of fate, my rough theater has (for whatever reason) become dance. And not an artistic, sensual style of dance (though some may strongly dispute that). But more along the lines of an eccentric, stylized version of hip swaying and arm movements.
As we've already seen through several projects this year, if someone should be called upon to perform a little jig, it is Tory. Whether it be all around Wilmington, or at a bar, everyone now expects me to dance when they want a mini show.
I don't mind performing my dance moves (the titular "hair gel" has become the most recognizable), I'm just not sure where it neccessarily started. It might have been senior year of high school, when i took part in the Mr. OCHS competition/ fundraiser (it was basically a faux talent show for senior guys to try and raise money). We had to perform several synchronized dances on stage, which is where i realized I actually could dance. Unfortunately, after 4 years I've put on some weight and my bones are creaky, but I can stilll whip out a good move here and there. I suppose the actions of dancing upon command to perform for others does count in the category of rough theater.
