The Ultimate Wedding Dance



This movie was shown to me by my husband to be. When I was first viewing this video I was not sure why he was sending it to me because it takes a while to get going but the wait is well worth it. This has got to be the funniest thing that I have seen in a long time. You can imagine that with my wedding a few months a way how much I really like this video. I would totally do something like this because I love how original the idea is and I love how the couple might have seen how boring a couples first wedding dance can be to the rest of the people watching. So if I can get Jake to do something like this we are going to! But I really don't see that happening. Then on the other hand my dress is very form fitting so maybe it would not be such a good idea. But either way I hope my wedding is as much fun as that wedding turned out to be.

Anyway enough about me lets talk about the video. Besides it being really, really, really funny, like I said before I love how creative the couple was to think of something like this. So they get 10 stars for making a memorable experence for thier guests. I just love how when they were first dancing everyone was talking in the background but has soon as they got with it and broke into thier secret dance moves all the talking stopped behind them. I just hope that maybe a movie that I do one day will stop people in thier tracks. I know the quality was not good but the idea was and that is what really makes this video. What could have make the movie better was if the camera guy would have known about this event before and placed himself or her in a place that would have had a clear view the entire time. Maybe the camera guy did know but they just did not pick a great spot to be. But other than that I have to say that this is my favorite youtube movie of all time.

Animals are the Best!



People are interesting but watching animas is so much fun. But from personal experience they can be hard to shoot becuase they do not understand why they have to stand still or do something over again because you messed up the shot. Patience is something that needs to be taken into account when dealing with animals. You have to be willing to wait on them also when they are not ready to do something. But in the end when eveything had finally been shot it will be worth the hours it took to get an animal in action.

When I saw this video on a trick hores it made me smile because I used to have a mule that would lay down on camand. But for some reason she never liked too when we where taking pictures of her. So when I saw that this horse was not camera shy I was glad that I was able to see this horse in action. The shoots are pretty fuzzy so I wish that they would have focused the camera before they started. I wish they would have planed out their shots more so that we could see what the trainer was doing to make the hores do it's thing. The zooms were either to fast in some places or to slow in other places. Sound, I really wish that they would of incorperated into the video. It didnt have to be music but I know the sounds that horses make and it would for made the video better if we could of heard the animal.

Graduation Day



Well keeping with the theme of graduating I founf this music video - Graduation Day with Chris Isaak. I Really don't like the song but I really like how the movie was done. I'm a big fan of black and white so I love it when movies are done in black and white when it is needed. The use of balck and white really works for this song becuase it is talking about the past and regrets I think.
I like how the film shows his memory. It's not just him singing it's him singing and you get to view the girl he is taking about. The fading that was used in the shot to show his memory coming back to the present is cool. Your going in and out with him.

I like how the setting is at night because his memory is sad almost and night is dark and can give the feeling of that. The old cars that where used and the drive up movie that is playing in the backgroung just really gives the film a coolness to it and makes it seem that he could be anywhere and that is what makes it relatable. So bad song but it has some good ideas for shooting.

One last Time!

Wow I can't believe that this is my last term of school forever!!!!!! I can not wait until May 2, 2009 at 11:30 in the morning! So ya I really dont want to take this class because I hate computers and tech! I really should of been born in the 1800's when everone was doing the hores and wagon thing. So a little more about me and what was on my list - I love Jake, my husband to be in a few months! I love our black lab Tater! I really love green chili and the color pink. I hate getting sick and computers. I fear letting people down. I beleive in God and I value God and my family. I want to graduate and find a job that I love and I cant wait to get married and have kids. What I know about myself is that I cry a lot, I'm hardheaded and I'm very determined!!!!! So even-though I dont want to take this class I'm going to do it and get it done so that I can get out of here!
