Morning,
A while back we made a mock storyboard which for some reason never seemed to find its way on to my blog. It is now incredibley dated, (location change etc.) however, enjoy!

Nightmares & Posters
Afternoon.
Our problems with Premiere Pro are getting worse and worse. It tends to shut down spontaniously every 20 minutes, and we feel it may get worse, the more HD footage we import to the package. We are working on trying to solve this, possibly by rendering the file, and then importing into the more reliable package Sony Vegas.
We also plan to make a start on the poster soon. Our initial idea is to have the page filled with snapshots and screenshots from the film, reflecting the main characters memory and the snapshots he remembers of Violet and other things.
Hopefully, I'll have a mock up to show you soon,

I Love Death
Title: I Love Death
Director: Hannes Häyhä Year: 2004 Location: Finland
Type: Animated Short
'I Love Death' is an existentialist film that I stumbled across a while back on the futureshorts network. Through the use of stick animation, it follows a man as he grows up from a baby, to a rebelious teenager, to a depressed old man.
It should be noted from the word go that this is without a doubt one of the weirdest animations I have ever watched. In a nutshell, this film is a bleak outlook on the cycle of life, professing that you grow up by accident, and live a monotonous life until you have a child, die and the circle begins again.
This film is all about relationships, which is the reason I am reviewing it. The relationships shown in this film, however, are completely different to the loving ones shown in our film, and it suggests that marriage (one of the key themes of love in our film) is an insignificant thing, and perhaps just a way of finding security and acceptance in hard times. In one particular scene, the man finds his wife in bed with a stranger, suggesting that marriage and love actually means very little. This is only one of the devises in the film that suggests that life is futile and pointless, the most obvious being the cycle completing at the end of the animation.
This film doesn't really relate to our project, but it interested me and I thought I would just do a little write up. If you wish to watch the film, click here however be warned the film contains adult themes throughout.

Potential Problems
Howdy,
We're about 1 minute into the editing of our 5 minute project, and we are starting to flag a few potential dilemmas.
 |
| Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 |
The main one at the moment is the constant crashing of the editing package 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS3'. It seems that whenever we try to load a lot of HD footage, due to the high number of users on the school network, it is liable to crash and restart. Hopefully we shall find a way to correct this. It does allows us to save before closing down, which makes it more annoying than disruptive.
Shall keep you posted!
