Film idea 1

ok so i had a few ideas come out of this extreme restlessness i’m feeling. I’ve been thinking a lot on how much people change or if they actually remain the same only it is them splitting away from the image we created for them.

So my idea is a love story between two people. The movie starts towards the end of a bitter break up. The boy is left alone while the girl happily moves onto another relationship. Morning after morning the boy struggles with his own difficulties alone with no one to be there for him. As time goes on the boy meets a beautiful woman who is his dream come true. They fall in love at first site and they begin spending every moment together. She is everything he could ask for and more. The film contrasts the new relationship with the old showing how this new girl is everything the previous one wasn’t. As time goes on however things just seem too strangely utopian. The new girl knows things about the boy that he hadn’t even told her. This chills him a little but he looks past it because he is in love. Eventually he becomes friends again with his ex and they all go out to eat. This dinner reveals to the viewer a strange occurence. HIs ex claims to not even be able to see his girlfriend. He gets mad and yells that she's right there and the ex begins belittling him for being so pathetic. Eventually he realizes that this new “girl” is actually a hallucination he created out of the desperation of loneliness. The perfect girl who carried him through all of his toughest times in his life was actually himself projecting his ideal woman out of his head. He begins to question what it is that we search for in love. Is it the physical relationship that can be given by anyone? or is it the confidence gained from having someone there for you and believes in you? And if we could somehow find a way to instill this confidence and strength in ourselves would we ever even need an actual person there? He doesn’t care that it's all in his head and still remains in "contact" and in love with this ideal he created until his dying day.

I think conceptually i would just want to provoke thinking of what it is exactly we look for in love? And also is it possible to consciously trick yourself into not caring or caring about an individual. In the end this may all be completely out of our control and love could be some untamable beast that ambushes its unknowing victims only to vanish and leave them completely dazed and unaware of how they ended up where they are.

i miss this blog

ok so i know this was my student blog but i've been doing other work that should be posted to the internet and why not just continue on an existing yet unattended blog. I did this poster for my friends only they don't know it yet and i was experimenting.

Peace Rally poster

A poster I did for some friends. It took a while to get the whole image in the back to tie together as a whole. Lots of layers and filters.

Final images

Here's the last of my advertisement series for computer graphics.

Iron soccer ball for sasquatch. I think this one came out nicely. Compare this soccer ball to the first attempt i made at the bottom of the page. Yeah it's a lot better i think.















Time/space warping phonograph for Cindy McCain.
Ha these topics are so random. i love it. Needs a little work on showing the younger version of mccain through the difference map but i think it's still somewhat successful.














This one isn't due yet so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Just a fake tabloid project.

Mummified Monkey for a Lounge Singer

The Act of the Century

if you view large, look in the top left corner. ha it's sort of a where's waldo for a creepy mummy lady.

crazy advertising

i finished two of my advertisements (without text) in class Friday and i think they're pretty cool. I'm really not sure how to put the text on my wooden teeth for the cubicle zombie but hopefully it'll come to me. As always comments are appreciated .

Lol i feel like it speaks for itself except for the wooden teeth part. I thought maybe i'd put "Washington wooden teeth: be civil again"

I had fun with the haunted aura and i figured the text would read "split the competition" or something like that. The only problem is i need to somehow relate it to Dracula.
