Video Project Blog Entry

1.      Video Project (or Alternative*)

A.          Post a video to YouTube or Vimeo of one of the following;

1.     a documentary on the importance of your project

2.     an animation explaining your concept

3.     a narrative story that illustrates your theme

B.          Include planning documents:

1.        script.

2.        voice over dialogue or narration.

3.        dialogue.

4.        music.

5.        storyboard, script or shot list.

6.        identify needed assets:

                                                                    i.      actors

                                                                  ii.      recording time

                                                                iii.      set design 

So my video that I plan to make is going to be an animation explaining my concept. 

There will be no script because there will be no dialogue. The music will be friendly 

and fast-paced (like most music in a stop motion), where the frames will be keeping

up with the beat of the song. The storyboard is pretty much many frames of my friend

Minh Nguyen smoking a hookah, and then aging with each frame. We will be adding 

makeup to his face to make each shot an older version of himself. It will be showing

the harsh affects of addiction and using drugs everyday. Like, I've said a million times

over, I don't care about marijuana in my presentation. This is not some lie that says 

that marijuana ages and kills you. This focuses on heavy drug-usage like heroin, 

meth-amphetamines, and other addictive substances. I'll need Minh as an actor,

a lot of time to record each shot, and the set design will just be my house, i suppose.

I guess what's next from here is actually put relevant information on the site to make it useable. And to expand on my poster design which shouldn't be too difficult seeing as how I'm almost done with it. My video is the least important to me in all reality because I don't really see my project being much of an entertainment thing, which is how my video will be. I am focusing in being completely informative, so the main points of my project will be expressed on the website. I think I'm also designing a little pamphlet or brochure just to kind of get the name of the project out there.
I genuinely don't see the video working out as well as the poster and the website. I honestly won't put nearly as much time into the video as i will other things.

Poster.

So I presented my website and I actually really enjoy it. Even though I'm completely worn out with the whole "Capstone" thing. My website is starting to look really nice. The layout is really cool, and even though wix isn't really what people want, I think that it should be used because it just looks overall better and more professional. Especially if you buy your own domain (which would be cool, but I just don't have the money for it). I really like my capstone project because it falls into my passion for everything I believe in.
