SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE…CLICK THE PICTURE FOR DIRECT LINK!!!

TO DO LIST FOR FIRST SHOOT: TUESDAY 9/20/11
12-1pm= Joon set up Produceville set
1-2pm= Cristina and Joon set up studio
2-4pm=PRODUCEVILLE shoot
4-5pm- HAMLIN’S ROOM shoot
5:30pm= crew break down set

VERY pleasantly surprised! Got the goodies for Produceville and Hamlin’s room for tomorrow’s shoot–for under $70! (the budget being $140.) But I anticipate the goodies for the Foodtopia shoot to cost more cause it will be mostly fruits and veggies. For candy and other “processed” goods, I got from a 99 cent store so I could [...]

Growing up I loved art & writing! I drew, painted, wrote poems and short stories about animals and friends… it was only naturally that with New Age technology– I’d be expressing my ideas through the visual aid of photography and film. My problem has never been coming up with ideas, but rather, dimming down my [...]

Before starting Foodtopia, I had to present a “Proposal” to my professor in order to get the “green light” to proceed. The following pre production elements had to realized: Story Treatment-synopsis, settings, character Detailed Storyboard-graphic depiction of story Syllabus-describing project milestones and deadlines Shot list-description of…[Read more]

Cristina Moving Practice Apple
Due to my carelessness…my Flip is missing along with the awesome Practice footage Danielle shot at the studio.

Bummer

But will be using Sony Bloggie for videos and Canon PowerShot SD400 for pix!

Last Tuesday, my crew (Cristina and Danielle) and I  practiced the techniques that we’ll be applying for Foodtopia. We spent a few hours (2-6pm) arranging the studio, playing with different light temperatures for different settings, and practicing how to move our characters. NEXT week is the REAL DEAL…so I have to get the materials and [...]

Currently making a new blog for Foodtopia…been doing so for about 3 hours now

FOODTOPIA: AN EDIBLE ESCAPE

I love a class that’s low maintenance, reflective, and USEFUL. Especially now when I have courses over the 300 level, I would go insane with work load if this class was ran differently.

Just in time for Father’s Day! Synopsis: Handy Man  illustrates the daily grind of blue collar family man Donald Joseph Brush, who despite his grueling schedule of work, carpool, and very little rest–still manages to find happiness in the small things in life; snacks, cats, and togetherness. This short film shows how a hard working man (small in [...]

FINALLY done with my final project :p It’s a hefty 6 minutes and a few seconds, and needs to be compressed before being uploaded. Anyhoo, I wanted to share my experience with 3 different cameras that I ended up using: Canon T2I, Panasonic HMC40, and my handy-dandyFlip. CHALLENGES WITH T2I: I came across some difficulties due to [...]

I’ve made a few changes to my final project to fit a better standard. For one, I changed the name to Foodtopia because Frutopia is misleading–the foodscapes are made up of not only produce but pasties, cereals and other food items. I also included my current Treatment_Foodtopia and revised Foodtopia_syllaus. Although I have completed a shot list, [...]

Joonmarie’s Final Project: Frutopia OBJECTIVE: Using the simplest form of motion story telling, I want to show the multi faceted splendor of stop motion animation through complex settings, music, lighting, and techniques, while conveying a simple “coming of age” story about youth, friendship and adventure. Compared to contemporary films, stop…[Read more]

Food stop motion animation

SINCE Professor Smith (Michael) said I won’t be approved to do Stop-motion until I can prove that I can do it, when I got home, I started practicing the basic technique, while researching other people’s works. This is VERY rough, obviously I can do better, and I actually learned a lot of what NOT to [...]

MEETING DAWN: (4min.) Using light as a metaphor to express emotions. Male (Travis) is in the darkness, until he meets DAWN-his female (Me) companion (light.) I’ve always wanted to film dawn or dusk because “Magic Hour” feels one and the same (depending on when the sun rises and set, 6am can look very much like [...]
