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.
