Trailer Remake Extra Credit Project
This is a project where the teacher asked us to remix a movie trailer to create a different impression of the movie, the first two videos are examples of that technique, and the third is my actual video. It is longer than I intended. Sound bytes from “Moulin Rouge” used as well as a scene from a spanish soap opera.

Animation Project
The Circle of Life: A Lion King Remix
For our actual animation project, we were assigned any type of animation we wanted but we had to use three “oblique strategies” in order to assist the project’s development. These were the strategies I used.
Cut a vital connection – I decided I wanted to do a scene from the lion king. I ended up cutting all the connections to visuals that came with that idea. Removed all understanding of the lion king, the lions, and used something new, something different
Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element – I originally had music in the background, but this gave me the idea to use the origonal wrds. I understand that his was not really “a rythic element” but it was because of this card that I came up with the idea.
Emphasize the flaws – I originally had intended to crop the part at the end where you can see the edges of the “background” but I decided not to when I saw this, it was kind of cute in the end. We all knew it was home made anyway

In Class Animation
We were told to create an animation for practice in class. This is the traditional hello/wave video with a new twist.

Horror Movie
This is a movie we created as an assignment. The teacher assigned a horror/gore movie. I went more toward the horror angle, the movie is meant to be a nightmare. The video can be played as a loop if desired. It is about a girl who is trapped in a dorm hallway and cannot escape, as common friend’s rooms become totally different, and the door at one end of the hall leads right back to the other end! Unfortunately my computer repeatedly froze and I lost data each time, so the clips were much smoother before and the transition between beginning and end was almost seamless. Oh well, it’s still fun!
