5. Stop Motion Animation
4. Rhythmic Edit
3. Crowd Sourcing
2. 360 Video
1. Film Manipulation
I really enjoyed working with actual film, I haven't before this semester began. The process of working with it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the creative freedom we had with the animation on the film strip and the many different effects we applied to the films. A close second was the 360 video, just because it is such a new technology and is incredibly fascinating to try out. I really enjoyed working with this format just because it was so relevant to the time. The crowd sourcing was a lot of fun, but it was a little tedious with the drawings, we all put significant effort into it, so the final result was awesome, but the process was tedious. The rhythmic edit was fun, but got quickly repetitive and a little frustrating to edit, I struggled with this assignment. The Stop motion animation turned out interesting, but I didn't like how we had to combine all 4 techniques into the same film, I would have liked to really explore one of these methods to fully immerse myself into that topic. The last would be the video letter, I really struggled with defining a new way of working with film, I have tried a large amount of ways working with film, but I didn't see how I could do something new for this project, so pushing myself to be creative was frustrating.
