“Strings” by Christina Turtriak is a claymation depiction of giving up when faced with a challenge. Christina Turtriak explained in her presentation that the theme in many of her projects is the human form without a soul. She shows this idea through her creations of deformed people in drawings, sculptures, short animations, and her performances where she dresses up as a blind, painted figure, bringing her two-dimensional ideas to life. Her claymation video “Strings” starts out with a…

In this version of “The Second Son,” I took your advice to tell the story from another POV the extreme and changed from “single I” to an epistolary piece, with no central narrator. In this version, Mal Dallon is less of a “crazy” man, wandering the streets and fighting off his own personal demons, and more of an ignored messiah, in that he’s bringing a message to an unenlightened world (through his death), only for it to be quickly forgotten for the next news bite. Is this version better than…

While he is at Shawshank he remains to believe that he himself is innocent while the…

only color base but also the camera angle they use and also the action of each scene. When I say camera angle I mean back in the day they barley had film, let alone high quality picture. When you see films now a day you may see a back shot or mid shot or maybe a wide shot. These are all way to get your view to see the picture differently. back in the day they didn’t have the technology to have all the camera angles so they shot the film regularly. Another example is the action that goes on while…

Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed film, 2001: A Space Odyssey opens with a black screen and a haunting overture that spans the length of nearly three minutes. Eventually, the overture fades out, and the audience can see it’s first glimpse of color; a dark blue background surrounding the film studio’s logo before the film’s first act officially begins. The momentary silence created by the ended overture does not last for long. The beginning of the film’s first act is marked by an operatic title…
