This week

This week was alright. Something that made me happy this week is that It's my birthday next week! Something that Frustrated me this week was not placing in the Skills USA Regionals Competition, and then being sick on friday and all weekend. Something that I learned this week is that I suck when working under pressure. Something that I would like to learn in the future is how to deal with the pressure and let my creativity come into action. Here's a cool link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdv55pki5As it's a remake of pulp fiction as an 8 Bit Game, It's so cool!

Church of Comedy

Something that I learned about this article is that the Director of Wedding Crashers and The Change-up isn't, never was a very funny person. (That's Ironic.) I also learned that he decided to go into this genre just because it was the first door that was opened to him. Another thing I learned is that actors have to be funny actors in order to work as funny people in comedies, and that theres no exception. Something that I liked about this article is that it shows how people can learn to adapt themselves into something even if it doesn't really come to them naturally. Something I didn't like about the article is the like constant Christianity joke behind the article, It's not really offensive, but I just don't see the reasoning behind it. A question I have about the article is So if a Unfunny director makes funny movies, Is Michael Bay a good person who makes bad movies?

Lego Movie

Something that I learned from this article is that The Lego Movie Surpassed $200 Million at the Box Office. I also learned that they took some interesting lighting techniques from other films and used them in theirs.  Another thing I learned from the article is that in the film they took some realistic elements away from the film to show off the backgrounds. Something that I liked about this article is that the tips given are actually pretty good and interesting. Another thing I liked about the article is that it addresses an interesting topic: how they made The Lego Movie look so cool.  A question I have about the article is why did they choose to add batman into the movie?

This Week

This week was pretty good, Something that made me happy this week was getting my license. (Finally!) Something that frustrated me this week was Trig class. Something that I learned this week is how to do big jumps while skiing, it's really exhilarating.  Something I would like to learn in the future Is how to make iphone games. Here's a cool link http://youtu.be/UqRSa30a7Ps it's a minecraft animation and I thought it was really cool how this guy integrates minecraft with animation, I think that the animation is very well done and that it is very entertaining.

This Week

This week sucked. Something that I learned this week is that I need glasses. Something that frustrated me this week is the amount of work that was piled up on me, Im really sick of school in every single aspect.  Nothing made me happy this week. Something I'd like to learn in the future is how to get my work done without stressing out, Here's a cool link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kti1zWLvTLw it's another trailer recut, and it's hilarious XD

This Week

This Week was good, Something that made me happy this week was getting a 91 on my Trig test. Something that frustrated me this week was that my PSA didn't come out how I hoped it would. Something that I learned this week was what "Contrast Ratio" meant, and I also learned a whole bunch of other things about lighting. Something that I'd like to learn in the future is how to write better scripts. Here's a cool link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TuRbk-00Sw it's a Trailer recut mashup of the Disney/Pixar movie Up, and the movie Gran Torino. I thought that it was hilarious and that the scenes chosen fit the dialogue very well. 

Despicable Me

Something that I learned from this article is that originally the minions in Despicable Me were supposed to be hulking monsters, not the tiny one eyed, innocent looking things that they are in the movie. Another thing that I learned from the article is that the Directors of Despicable Me are constantly trying to keep their animation artists away from clichés. I also learned that Pierre Coffin, one of the directors of the movie, originally thought that Despicable Me was going to fail. Something that I liked about this article is that it talks about a lot of the choices and changes that the directors made that probably led to the movie's success. Another thing I liked about the article is that it's discussing A hit movie that came from a studio that has only been around for a few years, and the choices that were made to make it a hit. A question I have about the article is why was Steve Carell chosen as the voice of Gru.
