Cameraless Filmmaking!!!!!

Cameraless filmmaking.... 
So i kind of goofed on my animation. i thought i was being clever but after i finished drawing on the film i realized that my smileys are going to be sidewase. its gonna be ok though, i think i can live with it. i'm learning to let serendipity take control. this is art not science. and heck, i think it may actually be cooler this way.


Plus i've leaned that it you think it will look cool it probably will; even if it's not what you anticipate.

wells.. I like animation...

Growing up i loved cartoons. I really liked the Animaniacs, all Disney work, especially the princesses   and the Fairly Odd-Parents. I liked theses animations for what i realize was their self reflective qualities (except for the princess films...hello, i was an 8 year old girl)

I always knew that there was some animation that i just didn't like (later i realized that it had to the the aesthetics of the animation style.)

I Never really concerned with work that went into that type of animation. but now that i'm in college and have friends that are in animation, i have learned to respect all the work that it takes to be an animator. the only chance i will ever have to be a success in the animation field is with stop motion. I'm not necessarily artistic but i am damn crafty. I helped on a stop-motion project for the first time last semester and found it extremely tiresome and rewarding. 
I have a keen interest in the Storytelling in film whether is is in animation or live action. In animation the key to my approval (vs. just respect) comes in how the styles utalize the medium. breaking the 4th wall and standing past a ravine is defiantly something that couldn't easily be replicated in real life

I made a movie without a camera!!!!!!

I find cameraless filmmaking is amazing. I am still astonished that i can create moving image with out a camera. that may sound a bit lame but, my first exposure to the film world was through the Flicker Film Society. they were all about cameras, lighting, narrative structure, and "the industry". when it comes to art...i love getting my hands dirty, literary and figuratively. there is nothing better than having paint covered or dye stained hands (in my professional opinion). being able to touch film is something I've only done as a projectionist in the past, and man have i been missing out. i think i finally understand the filmmakers i studied in my history of avant-garde class. well at least about why they chose their medium.

Synesthesia and Cymatics readings

I just notice this was missing.
I will find my original document and post it soon!!!!!
