Plausible Impossible

In this picture Dopey is swallowing soup that Snow White made for the seven dwarfs. When he does swallow his head squashes down then back up. The plausible is if you swallow your food your head will some what follow your food down your neck. In reality our heads are not flexible so they can not squash down but this is impossible because he can squash his head when swallowing.
This picture shows Dopey slurping in the soup. He is holding it away from his body though yet still slurping it into his mouth. The plausible is if you sucking hard enough then the soup will slurp right into your mouth without you holding the spoon to your  mouth. The reality is you must hold your food to your mouth in order for you to eat it but impossible because he can actually do it holding the spoon away from his face.
The seven dwarfs are trying to get the soap and spoon out of Dopey. They decide to open his mouth and reach in to grab it. While doing so Dopey hiccups and causes the spoon to float out of his mouth in a bubble. Th plausible is if you swallow soap, then some other object and hiccup the object will float out of your mouth in a bubble. The reality is if you swallow soap and an object you will not have them floating out of you. The impossible is in this film you can hiccup and have your swallowed object come back up.
This image shows Dopey who just swallowed the bar of soap. Once he does Dopey starts to hiccup bubbles. The plausible is if you swallow a whole bar of soap then you will hiccup bubbles. In reality no one can swallow a bar of soap whole and if they did they would not be able to hiccup bubbles. The impossible is in this film everyone can do that and start hiccuping causing bubbles to come out of your mouth.




This picture shows the seven dwarfs trying to get the soap and spoon out of Dopey's mouth. Happy kicks Dopey to make the soap and spoon fly out of his mouth. The plausible is if Happy kicked Dopey hard enough, then the soap and spoon will come out of his mouth. In reality you can't get any item out of you by having someone kick you from behind. The impossible is that this is what happens in the scene.

Scooby Doo: The Chase



The goal of the project The Chase was to have one character be chased by something else. My partner and I did not come up with a lot of ideas on the spot. We both decided to choose what kind of conflict we wanted for the video, We needed to decide if it would be man vs man, man vs nature, or man vs self. We then based our video ideas off of that conflict we chose. The next day we both came to class with a few ideas of what to do for our project. We both liked the idea of Scooby and Shaggy being chased by a monster so, We started story-boarding. Throughout the process of story-boarding, I was checking to make sure we had all six shots and didn't go over the 180 degree rule. It was then time to film.

Throughout this project I learned the value of teamwork. I missed two days of filming due to the flu and then my partner missed the next day. It was a struggle to catch up with the other groups and finish filming but; we pulled together as a team. We finished it by the deadline. I also learned that your shots have to have a flow to them. When filming,  your shots need to flow from scene to scene. I switched a few of my shots because I thought the order did not go well with my music I added. These experiences have helped made me a better videographer. 

If I had the chance to redo this assignment, I would fix my continuity errors. The person who played Scooby Doo changed outfits in the middle of the video. There was also one shot that was a close up of Scooby and Shaggy that was not focused on their faces. Next time I would make sure to watch out for details of each shot. I would keep the way I filmed the first shots with the flashlight shining into the camera. It added a cool effect. I would also keep the running shots. I thought it was creative the way we had silhouettes of Scooby and Shaggy running. I thought I did a good job coming in late and leaving early. I would also keep my dramatic twist of having our video teacher be the monster.  

For my next project I will continue to think outside the box and be creative when filming. I believe that all ideas are good ones because it just might be the weird idea that makes your video unique and creative. I will also make sure to pay attention to all detail to avoid continuity errors. 

I thought this project was super fun and can't wait to gather what I learned to make my next project even better!

Inch Worm


In eComm we created an animation of an inch worm scooting across the grass. We used Photoshop to design the worm and grass then, opened both up in Adobe After Effects. It was there we used the keyframes to make our inch worm move.
