Replay – Need For Speed
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment we had to take a moment from on of our favourite movies and turn it into a GIF animated image which captures the essence of a key scene. For this I chose the movie Need For Speed which is one of my favourite movies due to it’s automotive subject and since I used to play the Need For Speed video games. For the GIF as you can see above I used a scene of the iconic one-off Ford Mustang which is used throughout most of the movie. It’s an action driving scene showing the car racing on public streets ...
Four Icon Movie
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this 3 star assignment, I had to create four icons using minimalist designs that would show a story or movie that people might know. Then to have people guess what that movie is. So for this project, I didn’t want to make it too easy to guess and decided to pick a movie that I’ve always loved. I figured picking a pretty old movie would make it a little tougher, and wouldn’t be fresh on peoples’ minds to guess. Also, I picked a movie which can be considered a Christmas movie just in the fact that the setting has ...
Limitless Lucy.

Much like the chipmunk-ify assignment a week or so back, I texted my friend to ask her opinion on which two similar movies to mash together for an all-new-movie poster. She was her typical, kind self and threw out a couple of suggestions, but neither of them clicked with me. Mean Girls and Clueless are similar in that they have a strong female lead and delve into female interaction and young adult culture, but the overall tones are very different; one is more empowering and positive while the other is drenched with negativity. Plus, Clueless is one of my favorite ...
The Divergent Games

I did the Movie Trailer Mashup Assignment worth 4.5 stars. I dowloaded both the Divergent and Hunger Games trailers from Youtube and imported them into iMovie. Next, I broke up the trailers into the scenes they featured from the movies, and tried to find similar scenes between the two trailers. I put the similar scenes together and carefully ordered them to make sure a plot line somewhat flowed through the new mashup trailer. I also wanted some of the talking to I made sure to increase the volume on the talking scenes and mute the scenes that did not need ...
Emperor’s New Groove in 5 Seconds
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For the 5 Second Film assignment worth 4.5 stars, I chose to condense the Emperor’s New Groove in 5 seconds. Originally I thought this assignment was going to be really easy, but then I discovered just how fast 5 seconds go by. Another issue I ran into was that all of the best parts of the movie don’t really make the plot understandable when they are isolated, so what I ended up doing was just trying to convey the basic plot within the 5 seconds. The entire movie wasn’t available on Youtube, but I found the areas of the movie I needed ...
movie in four icons.

Don’t talk about it. Guess in the comments! Took a while for me to figure out how to represent this movie’s unique, layered plot in minimalist images, but once I finally did, I had access to the awesome icons thanks to… Proletkult Graphik, Emily Iles, Michael Thompson, and Luis Prado from The Noun Project.
Stitching Together a Movie in 4 Icons
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When it came time to do my One Story, Four Icons assignment, I’ve realized that I have a bit of an odd taste in movies. I’d much rather see live theatre or go to a concert than watch a film, and the films I do tend to watch tend to be not all that mainstream. Because of this, and because I was having fun while doing my first one, I decided to give people three films to guess. To do this assignment, I made a blank canvas in GIMP and imported the four icons I chose from The Noun Project ...
Lulu on the go!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Play by Play was one of the assignments I chose to do this week. The purpose was to “take any real life video and give us a play by play commentary on what we see!” Lulu is a bearded dragon and she loves crickets. She spends most of her time in her cage, but does enjoy the occasional walk under the sunshine. I actually think that Lulu is a male lizard, but by the time we found out, I had had her for a year, and we didn’t want her getting confused with the sudden name change. I had a video of ...
Visual Assignment: Supercut It
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This was a pretty cool assignment. The objective take a cliche from film and cut multiple clips into a supercut! I had fun with the overuse of rain in films and cut together some of my favorite examples. “Create a supercut montage of overused dialogue, themes, motifs, filmmaking techniques, etc. for a particular character, tv show, film, and/or public figure. A supercut is a “fast-paced montage of short video clips that obsessively isolates a single element from its source, usually a word, phrase, or cliche from film and TV. Supercut.org collects every known example of the video remix meme.” For ...
Skipping a beat

Week six we got introduced to design! We had to choose different design assignments, and I choose to do Valentine’s Alternative! This assignment was worth 2 stars, and it was a little bit more complex than I had originally anticipated. I messed around with Photoshop, which I had never done before so that’s where the challenge came in. It took me a little bit to figure out what to do, and what each individual tool was for. I was a little difficult to figure out how to have a background image, and put some more on top as well as figuring ...
