Assignment 0.6 | 3D Max | Lighting Fixture

Weekly Blog 3 10/19-10/25

This is the first movie I ever made on Final Cut. I was 12 or 13 and got the program from one of my teachers. We made the movie in his neighborhood using a tripod to film. The soundtrack is from the Spiderman movie. It is such bad quality because I had to over-compress it in order to fit on the blog.

This is very interesting to me because I have seen this knot in the library of shapes in 3D studio max, but seeing it like this actually looks like a real image and not a 3D rendering. the lighting and reflection make this image very interesting.

The next in my series of story boards, the group of my grandfathers brothers are confronted by a German officer who picks the oldest of the brothers (second in the family under my grandfather) to work for him. He is told that he is lucky, but is as of now unaware of why being picked to work is lucky.

This movie I made with one of my friends. He had an assignment for one of his classes, he had to make a movie with no words and he asked me for help. Neither of us had any ideas so we started without any story line, and ended with no real story line, but we made it as shocking as we could for the small Catholic School. Even the name "Another Victim of Santa Style" has no real meaning, we came up with it after looking at a postcard I had in my room, and thought it was a funny addition to the movie. When my friend turned in this assignment, not only did they refuse to show it class, but they called my friend in for a psychiatric evaluation in front of the entire administration and decided that he was sane. This entire movie was really designed to see what my Jewish friend, the student body president of a catholic school, could get away with showing, eventually the movie was shown in the class by the teacher.

This lighting fixture makes great use of lights and shadows in order to create an ascetically pleasing and interesting sight. instead of only giving light, this piece withholds light as well, making it a great example of what I want to do with my project, create interest not only with my use of light but also the use of the dark lack of light, shadows. This is an example of an innovative and interesting lighting fixture.

This is the next story board for my future movie. The focus switches to the other three boys and their story entering the camp. They have there first view of the smoke stacks and the environment they are to be thrown into.

This is another film I made for my film class, however I was never able to complete this movie so I only have a trailer. The plot behind the movie was three boys who wrote a script and all took turns giving there idea on how it ends, only one idea is ever actually presented in the movie. I made this using my friends as actors.

After messing with 3D studio for a while and seeing my results, I looked on the internet to see what can be done with the program. I found these images and many more like them. They baffle me, I don't understand how they can make such complex forms and keep them looking realistic. I am sure they are using many tricks that I am yet to learn, but the idea of making images like this is very intriguing to me and drives me to learn more about the program.

Assignment 5 SketchUp Red Blue Chair

These three images are of my replication of the Red Blue Chair. Using SketchUp and blueprints of the chair I created a scale 3D image of the chair. I colored the bottom and back the traditional blue and red, but the frame I changed up, the vertical faces are yellow and the horizontal faces are green. This makes the chair look a different color at a different angle, and also helps to clear up the framework making it easier to visualize as 3D.

This film was made with my film 1 class at the Santa Fe Community College. We were given a script of dialogue, but were told to create a story through the acting, filming and editing. When every group was done we presented several different stories with the same dialogue, highlighting the importance of the visuals in story telling not just what is being said. I helped to shape the story, was director of photography, and edited his film while the rest of my group acted, directed, and handled the sound.

I was greatly inspired by the presenter from Image Works we had the pleasure to have in class on Wednesday. Film making is what I have always wanted to do, but I have never really thought of that aspect of blended cinema. Listening to what she had to said and seeing the break down of how the movies were created really enticed me to consider this as a career path. I hope to learn more in this class about the programs used to create these movies.

Yet another story board for the movie I would like to make. The family is separated more when the group of boys that were captured together are separated and searched. This movie is a long way off considering the budget would be millions of dollars, however I feel it is important to remember the story and the way I am imagine it in order to use when I have the means. These drawing though primitive at best convey the idea of how each shot happens in my head.
