cyber surrealism

This is a video I decided to take of forks. It is stop motion animation and the characters are made of plaster cine except the forks. The concept is that the "Man" fork comes on stage, he hears a sound and then appears a "Woman" fork. She has hearts in her eyes and decides to chase him around. Once they come around the table they both hear a sound, they drop to the floor and out comes a girl/ woman (doesn't matter) and becomes suspicious of what had happened recently.

optical toys/ Illusions

Alright...so i was looking at some optical toys on a site. I like most of the devices but there is one that is my favorite and that would be the Zoetrope. The Zoetrope was invented in 1834 by a man named: William Horner. To create the motion the "drum" is spun, the faster you rotate it the "smoother" it moves to create the illusion. so if you want to check it out just look under: links and experience the optical toys/ illusions.

Video Sequencing

A few days ago i got another assignment to check out a few links. I was reading this one link and thought it was cool. The person who wrote it gave some useful information like: " when shooting a sequence you have to anticipate action." and " Try to shoot a variety of shots." I think if you were to read it, it would be helpful.
