So I haven't done pixel art in a LONG time, but I haven't stopped doing art. For a class called "Media," we made groups and directed videos. There were three videos: The 8 shot, which was more of a tutorial than anything else, where we had to make a video in 8 shots with each shot being 8 seconds or less; the PSA, which is self-explanatory; and the final project, which really doesn't have many restrictions. I was in a group with my best friend, who is going to college to be a film major. I didn't upload our 8-shot, mostly because it didn't turn out that well (although it was a small eastern-European riding a tandem bike with the fattest kid we know.) The other two, however, turned out really well.
The Elderly - This is our Public Service Announcement. To be honest, the idea of having our friend's little brother dance with old people started as a joke, but I think that the fact that it is so humorous is what makes it so effective. And that lady in the video is my grandma, although she's wearing a wig because she didn't look old enough.
Over Spilled Milk - This is our final project for the class. You should watch it in high quality, because we filmed it on a really nice camera. I guess the idea for this video was "let's start with a crazy shot, and then the whole video is a series of events leading up to that event." That's somewhat glib, but that's what it became. The teacher for the class was really worried about projects not getting done, because the class had earned the reputation of being an "easy A" or a class where you get a camera and you get to film your asshole friends imitating "jackass." In reality, it wasn't that, but I digress. The teacher put the deadline for the final project's script/storyboard less than a week after the project was assigned.
The music in this one was made by my friend Charlie. He has a myspace of his music, which is really schweet. He's the pirate in the video. I'm the one who spits the tootsie roll at him. EDIT: can't find his myspace, but whatever...
And for you Dr. Who/Torchwood fans, yes, my friend is John Barrowman's nephew.
Sorry for the long post, but I don't think I rambled that much.
