    Aaron, Dylan, and Ethan showed parts of animation.

    * understand logically why our projects lead to one another.
    - Raph needs to see what we are doing, even if he says it's up to us if we want him to hear it or not. Bring shit in when he says so.
    * black and white with subtle colors. -limited color palette.

    - you shouldn't give a shit about what Raph thinks, just bring anything in that you have.
    -push yourself to find a sound that associates with the real sound.
    * engage, engage, engage!

    Even Cowgirls get the Blues-
    - Raph will contradict himself for good work.

    "Screw you Raphael, I can do better!"

    - you have to be able to bring people into the world you are creating.

    - Do not jump cut.
    - Develop better working habits. You should be working 3 projects ahead.

    put work in progress on iDisk by 12 AM tonight.

    After Break- given open conceptual ideas for projects.
    * animation, multiplication, duplication.

    How to get a duplicate of yourself-- mirror, projection, subsection (TV inside TV), split screen, green screen, blue screen, black screen, white screen (works best), layers using blend modes over masking, flash.

    2 export formats to use video in photoshop-- image sequence, film strip (best)

    Think of Combinations of Software.

    The most important transition in the piece is at the beginning

    Bring people into the world that you are creating.
    Don't make a jump cut into the piece.

    Work things things 3 projects ahead always.

    Think about different programs that can be used together to make an interesting project.

    Everyone should turn in 10 seconds of work by midnight in order to redo project over break.

  7. start with the basics and add to the mix every project that you do as a new media student. your work should reflect and be an additive to work you have done in the past.

    The culture that is developed in New Media is too gentle and doesn't depict the outside world very accurately.

    Even Cowgirls get the blues

    beat me
    whip me
    and make me write bad checks

    mirror
    interact with projection
    split screen
    green - blue - black - white screens
    flash
    image sequence / filmstrip

  9. Reviewed Aaron's, Ethan's, and Dylan's work in progress

    Even cowgirls get the blues

    image sequence - exports frame by frame as images
    film strip - basically an image sequence laid out in a document and can be universally manipulated

    10 seconds by midnight, won't get graded until after Spring Break

    After break need to work and give progress reports constantly

    Combining software
