Are You A Frog?

The frog much relates to any college student. It hops place to place, trying to get each task done. Everyone thinks the frog is having fun. The frog is tired of hopping. He sits out in the sun, and he takes some quick breaths. Then soon after, the frog rests.

Hollywood is it’s own world.

She was always told, “A dream is not just a creative thought, but also a goal. One day, you’ll reach that goal.” She wanted her face on TV, but not in that way. The scandals got the best of her, and she looks back wishing she never felt this way.

 You don't know me, until you know how much my friends mean to me. I've had a lot of people walk out on my life. I have been lonely, lost, hurt, but despite all that there's only one person who has stuck around. I'm so thankful for that. This girl is practically my sister. (And that's an understatement.) I could not begin to explain what we've been through, but I know no matter what we will always have each other's backs. Thanks for being a true friend. I miss you!

Coffee ( A Dangerous Drink) (Project "Joke Video")

We used Kyle Loftus’ storyboard of joke number 5.  The process of turning the visual storyboard into a video was generally fairly simple with the benefit of minor changes.  We chose a storyboard that was clear in the direction they wanted the story to follow.  The most difficult part of this assignment was the constriction of creative freedom.  There were times when we wanted to add or take away movements or change dialogue to make things more natural, but we had to constantly remind ourselves that we had to strictly follow the storyboard.  Specific issues that we had to compromise from the storyboard were timing issues.  In the storyboard, Kyle stated actions lasting a specific time amount such as “after about 15 seconds of standing there in disbelief he puts down his business card and walks away,” or “after writing for about 2 minutes she notices everything is back to normal” and because of the time restraints on the video we were not capable of following these directions specifically.  Another complication when filming was that the storyboard stated that the event was to take place in Baker, but obviously for noise and availability purposes it was not ideal to film there so setting and scenery were not perfectly fitting.  We feel that overall the storyboard was reasonably well written and laid out, and we believe our adaption was quite respectable.
