Amazing Stop Motion



One of the coolest things that I have learned about through my Digital Video Production class is the ability to create stop motion videos. It's simply amazing that people have enough patience to create a video such as this lego one. It must have taken the creator many hours in countless days to create something this simple, yet complex. I am just apalled. Through the future of my career in media I would definitely like to experiment with more stop motion videography. It's simple astounding to create a stop motion masterpiece.

Beautiful Still Images



These images are beautiful. I am naturally attracted to water because it's so calm and beautiful yet so daunting and intense. These photos are amazing because they depict the waves of beauty. I love looking at cloth and different materials in water because they flow so fluidly. It's also amazing how the photographer was able to shoot the model looking so still in some of the pictures. They are just gorgeous.

My First Camcorder Experience



Just to warn you... a few curse words are said throughout this video. This video is called Making Soup With Kayla And Andrew. It was quite an experience. There is no camera quality whatsoever... We ended up putting way to much of everything in the soup, and it turned out kind of like mush. It was definitely quite a good time though. I want everyone that watches this video to notice how low the water is when we show you the pot of soup for the first time. It's about a third of the pot full of water. Then towards the end, we had to make a second batch of soup to eat. We had to use two pans. Another thing about this video I like is the chemistry between Andrew and I. We have been really really good friends since third grade. We crack each other up. I hope you enjoy!

This song, entitled "Show Me The Way", is sung by Styx. This song is one of my all time favorites because it carries such an amazing message. It has also helped me through the hardest times that I have been through. It is just a powerful example of how touching music can be. The video is not my favorite. I believe that Styx could have done a better job with creating a powerful image to display what this song has to offer. I also believe the lyrics imitate something more vast than just death, as depicted in the video. This song carries the message that could help many get through just their day to day lives. I hope that you watch this video and enjoy the music as much as I do.
