Last Post!

Wow! I can not believe how fast college has gone by!Come this Friday I will be done!!!!!!!! There were times that I thought school was literaly going to kill me but it didnt, I was able to over come.
I have learned so much from this class even through there were times when I was sreaming and wish I didnt have to do any of it. But I now know that all I learned in this class will just put me a step above the rest that do not have multi-media skills. My resume looks very diverse now. Growing up I never throught that I would ever be able to call myself a film maker! But I can now. I'm a multi-media scholar.

I have found a song that spells out everything that I have gone through with school and life and what I will still have to overcome with graduation into the real world. It is a song by Miley Cyrus - "The Climb". It is now my theme song.
So here is too the next years of my life! Through I cant say that I'm going to miss school because I have bigger and better things to do now - I dont know what that might be, but I know it will be unforgetable.

Opening Credits - Barbarella



I dont know about you but I like opening credits that are live and in motion, not just a bunch of words on the screen. I like the story to start to unfold before me because lets face it if I want to know who is in the movie I will stick around and read it at the end. So for my groups tat doc, we have been trying to come up with an interesting way to introduce our film. Well this has nothing to do with our doc but I thought that the film Bararella had an interesting way of showing thier opening credits.
Now I have never seen this film so when I was watching the opening it had me wondering what was going on and I liked that. Here you have this space setting and this thing is taking off it's gear and it's cool because you see that there is a women that you are watching. I was really paying attention to the music to see if the music did something different when the woman did. Sure enough when Jane Fonda's head thing starts to come down, words start in the song of "wondering"and "woman." Then what was really cool is when she shakes her head and the credits land everywhere. Then when she is completly naked the words cover her body. Then just the faming that is used throughout really ads to the shots. Over all this was a very creative opening.

Tattoo Video



Okay I have decided that I want to be a music video director! I'm sure that it will naver happen but I got this great idea for a tattooing music video. The Jordin Sparks music video for her song "Tattoo" is good but I want to change it! The song talks about how thia guy is on her heart like a tattoo, well a video should be maid of her thinking about went she got a matching tattoo with her lover and now in the present of her looking at her tattoo.
It could be made really cool of gettig footage of the tattoo process and then putting in footage of her in the present. Just going back and forth. I got this idea from a Norman Rockwell painting that I saw. The picture was of a WWII navy guy that was in a tattoo chair and the tattooist was crossing out a girls name and putting another one below it. The funny thing was that there were five other name up his arm that had been crossed off. So I dont know I guess I'm just in tattoo info mode and have tattoo ideas coming out my ears.
