I have been interested in the visual arts for a long time. I have worked on various animations in the past but something I have just come across that I love is cinematography. I was the cinematographer for a documentary recently and I captured the b-roll footage to put throughout the movie. The documentary was a group project that I did for a video production class. The footage I got was meant to be small interesting clips to cut into an interview. I have provided an edited version of my footage…

The musicale had a lot of variety in the performance of the songs. The pieces ranged from being purely instrumental to art songs. There was also a mixture of music from the Baroque through the Modern era. The assorted musical periods and instruments contributed to a more varied Musicale. The group pieces at the beginning and end of the Musicale sounded the most contemporary. “On stranger Tides” was a good choice to start with because it was from a popular movie with which most of the audience…

in both pictures. This is compositing. Doing this five minute project I’ve used: Masking, Alpha Channels, and Mattes to create a composite.

was obvious that the voice actors who performed the tracks (including Christopher Walken as Louie and Scarlett Johansson as Kaa) don't have singing as their day job. Given that music is a big part of Disney magic, this definitely took away from the film. Additionally, there wasn't a lot that kids would laugh at. It's not that the movie is inappropriate for children, I'm just not sure they would find it consistently entertaining. It honestly serves adults more, and only does so in the setup and…

Until I was introduced to the 50 Shades Trilogy, E.L. James, I had never read a book from cover to cover, including school-required books or any type casual reading. After two weeks I read the entire series. With this new found love of mine I was stunned that I actually enjoyed having time to read. Before I began to read the 50 Shades Trilogy, I honestly did not think I would be able to read even one book, let alone three. I have always preferred movies over novels; therefore, never in a million…

create an all around superior film than Nunn’s portrayal of the Shakespeare play, the time period, the cast, and the way the film is shot.Michael Radford kept the time period that the film takes place in the same as the original text, while Trevor Nunn did not and changed the time period in his movie to in between World War I and II. The cast in this adaptation of The Merchant of Venice are great actors and at the helm is Academy Award winner Al Pacino. The way this film is shot feels like a…

Set as a fast paced film with a Forrest Gump-esque approach switching between the present and past of Allan Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson).
