At 7pm on Friday, June 18th we met with 72 other teams and drew the following genre: HORROR
Then we were given the following 3 things we had to incorporate into our film:
prop: PLATE
character: CONSULTANT
line of dialogue: “You’re not going to believe what happened”
We (Team Chinese Takeout) had 48 hours to produce at least a 4 minute long film and this is what we came up with. We’re pretty freaking proud of ourselves considering none of us had any previous animation experience.
We’re missing some sound effects in this version, but will hopefully update it. Let me know what you think!
So I’ve decided to run a video gaming video podcast focused primarily on iPhone/iPod/iPad, etc… games and applications. And because of it, Timmy and I acquired a pretty amazing list of gear:
Semi-professional HD Video Camera
Canon T2i, which also shoots in HD
2 beautiful lavalier microphones
A Zoom Microphone (provided by my wonderful boyfriend, Chris)
Lots of SD cards
DV Tape Stock
Vimeo year membership
Green Screen
3 professional lighting lamps
A lot of these goodies was purchased from our good friend Ethan Bloch who runs Flowtown, a hot startup that provides an incredible service — they help you get social media information from individual contacts in your address book. The first 50 contacts are free, too, so there’s no reason to not check them out.
Ethan’s old gear is in good hands as proof from this following statement: We won the Audience Award for the 24-hour film festival!
Yay! The cast and crew had about a couple hours of sleep each but were still on top if it by hour 24. Way to go, team! Here’s the cast and a special thank-you:
Canon T2i (Digital SLR with HD Video capabilities)
Cost: $800.00
Why I love it: For $800, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything else like it. With full DSLR functionality and HD Video capabilities, external mic hook-up, the ability to shoot at iso 6400, and high fps, my video reviews will now be flawless. I am completely in love with the camera so far and will update this site as soon as I have some footage up.
Tom Wujec, Fellow at one of the world’s leader in 2D and 3D design software, Autodesk, designed a Marshmallow challenge where a team of four people are given 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, one marshmallow. The goal is to build the largest standing structure with the marshmallow on top within 18 minutes.
