Yesmen & editing

The Yesmen DVD clips we watched in class made me want to pull some sort of international pranks like that... in fact since watching them, i have been thinking about websites i could i buy now while the person or corporation is small and either sell it for a bunch of money or tamper with their lives. Its encoraging that they were never arrested for any of the stuff we saw them do. I do wonder about what the reaction of the real WTO is. Ive been looking around for the DVD so i can watch the rest of the stuff.

The rhythmic edits came out good. a couple things i noticed that I liked in several of them are a variety of shots. high, low angles, long, medium and close ups. also various locations added another variety of shots to the mix so almost nothing was repeated. It was. It was cool to see everyone's daily lives sped up and cut together very fast and rhythmically.

I just finished and exported my 48 hour video race video. It came out OK...I always have a better image of things in my head, and sometimes that image is unreachable so im learning to let go and accept. Im excited to see how the rest of the class used their blocks my guess is that a lot of people (including me) spelled something out with the 3 letters...just a guess.

Its sad that the semester is over and the class aswell. I enjoyed this class so very much because of all the projects and hands on learning we were able to experience. I learned a lot and have a couple films I plan to submit to the Student Screening.
