I really missed doing normal blogs... And having 2 genuinely interesting articles as their comeback brings me joy. But with that sentiment aside let's do some junk.
This week I learned that rapid cutting is good for adding tension and building up momentum in a scene. While i may have learned that from a video, given that we're on the final project, it's fair to say we won't really be taught anything from now on.
What I want to know is how to get really good morph cuts. I remember all the really beautiful morph cuts from the movie Stay and I want to try one out in my final project.
Easily the best part of this week was watching Captain America: Civil War! It was really good. It gave us really fun and imaginative battles between the heroes, and that this really was them fighting each other over genuine philosophical differences makes it much more compelling, not being able to fully root for or against either side. And Ant-Man was awesome.
What sucked? Turns out I have a field trip on Friday so I lost a day on my Final Project. Hooray. Honestly if it's not perfect when I hand it in Thursday I'll still work on it. If not for my portfolio, for creating an entertaining short.
As much as I like the new Spiderman, I'm of the mindset that the first 2 Sam Raimi movies are the best incarnation that there has ever been or will ever be, much like the first 2 70s superman movies. I could have wrote a long article on why they're so good under a pseudonym, but this video by someone more skilled should do better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3h_bT0Mfg
I missed normal blogs too.
