6x1 Part Deux

If I were to create 6x1 part deux, it would involve a super project with all the assignments from 6x1 part one combined. One would have the option of letting the project be narrative-driven, music-driven, anything-driven, etc. I wouldn't mind meeting on a weekend again to film with the bolex, or show up earlier to work on stop-motion. I personally would have liked to film with the super 8 more. Also, for assignment one, going over new manipulation techniques for the super 8 that we didn't discuss in class would be cool.
Overall, if part deux is anything like part one it would be awesome. I really loved this class because it is not like any other film class I have taken. The assignments were extremely fun. I learned camerless filmmaking, got my hands dirty, worked with super 8, worked with 16mm, experimented with different mediums, became a mad scientist, messed with sound, lived through a 48 hour video race, jammed some culture, and managed to keep some of my sanity in the end. And I grew as a filmmaker in the process.

Stop motion = 1, because moving an object and then clicking a button to create a film is amazing. I brought stationary figures to life.
48 hour video race = 2, because it is such an adrenaline rush.
Bolex project = 3, because working with a bolex camera, and 16mm film is awesome, and you don't get to do that everyday. Plus creating sound for it was fun.
Elements project = 4, because I was able to get my hands dirty and create something without a camera.
Rhythmic edit = 5, I had more fun filming this than editing it. Editing was really tedious, but why am I complaining? It turned out awesome in the end.
Found Footage project = 6, I loved working on this project especially because I loved the subject, but its something I can do in intro to editing. BUT the culture jamming aspects that we learned from this project are crucial. They were only touched apon in my intro to editing.

Although I kind of slacked off toward the end of the semester, I enjoyed doing the blogs because they made me use my brain and really reflect on very interesting information directly related to our projects. It feels cool to be part of the blogosphere too.
