This is a really interesting blog that I follow. It shows you what has been manipulated, with Photoshop, in movie posters and ads. Very cool.

The Criterion Collection: "Seen It" List
For film buffs, The Criterion Collection is a goldmine. Presenting important films from all over the world in full restoration and wonderful treatment, The Criterion Collection certainly delivers and, indeed, satisfies the cineaste. Also, it can get really addicting. Ever since I rented my first Criterion DVD in 2009, which was Ingmar Bergman’s “The Virgin Spring”, I was...
Discovering Filmmakers.
Every year there are a few filmmakers and directors that I discover whose works have either been recommended to me by a friend, or just randomly felt curious to explore. Once these directors’ films make an impression on me, I suddenly have an urge to watch every film that they’ve created. It’s happened in the past with Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky, Ingmar...
Ikea.
I went to Ikea yesterday, and while there it made me want to get my own place; my own house or condominium. I never had this feeling before while browsing around Ikea, but I guess moving to Oregon for school and being on my own opened my eyes to the many ideas and possibilities for living. Usually, I would just check out the furniture, living room, and office things and just breeze past the...

WatchHere’s Pacific University’s Media Arts Club’s “Exquisite Corpse” project from last semester. The overall film consists of seven short minute-and-a-half pieces by seven groups (mine included ;P…. can you guess which is ours?). Each group has only seen the last 5 seconds of the group ahead of them.
The concept of “exquisite corpse” originated from a...

WatchThis was a very personal project of mine. During the time I was making this, I was in a very low point. I felt that I was being overlooked and looked down upon as a person with not much importance. As weeks went by in the editing lab, I had no idea where else to go with this project. I realized that other people, somewhere, are probably going through the same struggles as I am, if not worse. So I...

WatchFor this project, we were assigned to take a camera and film twice a day for a week. I love text, so I tried to incorporate that into this piece when I could.

WatchThis film was an assignment for our experimental class in which we were assigned to groups of two or three and we each had to share a dream we had. We then had to make a film about our dream and incorporate something from our partners’ dreams as well. My idea for this experimental piece was to purposefully limit my options on equipment, thus leading me to use what I had available…...
