Process: The Movie Business

Bubbles in the Face

It just slipped out. This is stupid, so stupid. Wash your mouth out. Who does that? It’s like a medieval torture. Why not leaches or the rack, Mom? She can’t be serious. Forget it, I’m not doing it.

I’m old enough to say whatever I want. Ms. Langley deserved it. I was only trying to help. Mom grabbed my arm and shouted for me to be quiet. She wanted to know where I heard the word. I’m in fifth grade, stupid. Everybody says it and worse stuff too. I’ve even heard Mom say it. It’s not fair. Why doesn’t she come up here and wash hr mouth out. Cause it sucks, that’s why.

Peter forgot his homework, and I let him copy. So. No biggie. Ms. Langley made such a big deal. Why did she have to call Mom at work? I was trying to be the good guy. That’s a joke. I hate Peter. I hate Mom. I hate Ms. Langely,

Maybe if I just get the bar wet. Mom won’t know. What, is she gonna check my tongue? Probably. I’ve never seen her so mad. Who cares? Nobody cares about me, nobody. This is worse than Ms. Langely, a mouth full of bubbles fucking sucks.

Process: Huh?

Found this on Clinic of Cultural Collision site...in reaction to the every increasing restrictions of passenger rights on airplanes. Plus its kinda pervy.

Definition: Wash Your Mouth Out

How cool! When I published to the blog it turned my project this neutrogena orange. I love it! The hard copy is blue with blue bubble-but this looks much better--thanks blogspot.

Plus, thanks to fabulous Jill I was able to find measurements for the soap box recreate in InDesign. I was so proud of myself...

Phase Four: IMove...decisions

Phase four on my IMovie was tricky. I thought I had alot that was working, but it bothered me that the first image of the house looked unlived-in and even not quite built! So, I looked for another image of a suburban house in a cul de sac with spooky lighting--or at the very least at dawn. Hmmm, tall order. Plus, the house would ideally have ventian blinds, two bedroom windows, and an air conditiner in the window. AAAAAAAHHHHH!

Needless to say, I could't find an exact image--so. Here are the top running choices.
Picture one, is a prfect surburban house. The lighting is right. The windows are not quite right. But it had a great look and feel.
Picture two, the whole neightborhood of houses. This is interesting...I eliminate the need to duplicat the house directly. We dn't zoom into the bedroom window persay, and we get this great surburban zoombie cul-de-sac from aerial view.

Decisions, decisions...

Bang Art

Our group, after finally moving on from a particulary stupid idea involving a bathtub (oh, I think that was mine), landed on the story of a kid who blows a really BIG bubble, lifts off the ground, is attacked by a bird, and lands in a bubble puddle. I especially liked the the passing of time. The clouds would move across the page.

Still Image Narration with Style

The IMovie assignment--to say the least--has been challenging.
In preparation, my husband pointed out several effective montages in award-winning films which use sequences of still images, set to music, to tell a story. In particular the opening sequence in SOYLENT GREEN and the middle bridge in BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. Well, such great examples are something to strive for, anyway.
