Ignoring the proposal business,

Graffiti Proposal from Alex Luster on Vimeo.

I love the way they did the music with the video.
And I just think graffiti is really cool.

I hate when

people hate on other people's musical talent/are incredibly judgemental and opinionated on music.

I like the guy at like, 5:45, ahahah

Requiem For A Dream

I'm in homeschool right now.

And I have nothing to do, but I'm in the library so I figured I'd post a blog! (For some reason, every website is blocked on these computers except blogger.) I learned motion today. I <3 motion. There's sooooooooooooo much stuff that you can potentially do with it that I think I would never even know where to begin. One thing I didn't like about this week was that my car is officially going to be smushed and stripped of any good part it has. One thing I did like about this week was the assurance that I wouldn't get a crappy car, just less good than the one I had. And one thing I want to learn is just how to use motion more, really. I wish I knew it super well but unfortunately I don't think I ever will, haha.
Happy thanksgivingggg!

Watch this one instead.

The last one's view count froze at 304 and I'm undecided if it's because Hannah and I ourselves watched the video too much or because it was watched too many times not the full way through. So from now on I'm going to dedicate hours to refreshing that page and watching it for the full 3 minutes.

...sigh

This week. Oooooh, this week.
One thing I learned was motion. One thing I want to learn.. is motion. Seeing as apparently I'll be teaching it to tenth graders and I have never even touched the program, ahah. Nothing made me happy this week, because this week sucked existentially. One thing that made me frustrated this week was this entire week.
I miss my car. It was my best friend.

If this is true, it's very interesting.

It's a list of books that Sarah Palin tried to ban in Alaska. If this is true, I'm not sure how she ever even got to where she was. Harry Potter? James and the Giant Peach? Of Mice and Men? To Kill a Mockingbird? Really? A Clockwork Orange is slightly more understandable, but not much. Ih8u sarah palin. list

WATCH THIS

A MILLLLLLION TIMES.
If we get enough views to make it into the top 5 by December 1st, the videos will then be judged on creativity and video quality <3 the majority of the other videos are made in WMM and look very un-cool and un-creative. SO MY BEST FRIEND HANNAH AND I TOTALLY HAVE A SHOT. Just watch and watch and watch and I'll owe you my life. Just like I owe ML and ZP my life for saving me today.

Mad Scientist FTW ;)

wipe transition

I think this might be the only video I've ever seen where the wipe transition doesn't look horrible. Super cool editing.

coolest, ever.

Yesterday was 11/11!

SO, one thing that I learned this week was how to make it look like someone is having thought clouds in a video :) Sarah witnessed it. It's rough, but I'm going to make it work out some day. One thing I want to learn is how to make text look cooler in FCP. I haven't really messed around with it enough yet. There was no school for Veterans day, so for community service, I served veterans breakfast. There was one guy named Stanley Maziarz who was 89 I believe (and still in awesome shape), who pulled out pictures from the 40s of himself and the war, and kept talking about specific stories from when he was in Normandie on D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge and how his whole team died except him and his friend. Not to mention, he was a TOTAL babe when he was a young lad. I took a picture on my phone of his picture of himself. I'll post it sometime after I get picture messaging (which should be next week-ish). One thing that frustrated me about this week was that Sarah keeps calling me Jenni, because she doesn't know the difference between us. I don't want to be known as Jenni, because we all know what Mama Licata thinks of her after today.

Cart (thanks to zp for showing me this!)

Besides the general awesomeness of this, it's really cute too. I got a bit emotional..

ZIS WEEK

I learned that the lavalier mics don't fit on the hf s21 cameras, causing me to use a slightly more ghetto method of strapping it to the tripod via that white band thing that comes in the case. But alas, worry not, Madame Licata has ordered converter things to make it capable. One thing I didn't like about this week.. was nothing really. I liked this week. Something I DID like about this week. Well, the first marking period is over. 3/4 of the year till graduation. My parents brought me a veggie burrito from mighty yesterday. It's been a good week, basically. What I want to learn.. hm. I guess learning greenscreen stuff would be cool. I can then make invisibility cloaks, as Sarina pointed out... >:]

What a marvelous idea

A snuggie for all those "birthing-out-of-the-chest-cavity" needs!
