Adobe Premiere - DnB Kung-Fu Video
Below is a short video montage I made for fun today.It contains various fight scene clips from a few of my favorite kung-fu movies - Wu-Tang Master,One-Armed Boxer and Goose Boxer.I have used part of a live drum n bass set (Swan-E w/Eksman,Herbzie,Rizla & Flyte) for the audio.I feel this works very well as the lightening fast kung-fu action goes perfectly with the music.Enjoy!P.S.Quality bit shit beacause films are in widescreen.
Identities Design Board Presentation
After a fairly late start and countless hours on my computer it was great to finally get this out the way, and I was overall pleased with what I had produced.I now now have a much clearer idea of what I'm doing and started to enjoy producing work for it.Think my presentation went pretty well although I seemed to be lacking the quantity of test files of other group members.My website test file wasn't too impressive as I had just made a quick website template on MS Publisher without really putting too much thought into its actual design, although would still prefer to keep it simple as my Dreamweaver skills are still pretty sketchy.Only seemed to have one real criticism from jools and debs and this was because my website test file displayed its text in several different fonts therefore lacking continuity.Although I could see their point, I didn't really understand why it mattered at this early stage as the fonts used would be something to focus on more towards the post-production period.
Here is the powerpoint slide show I produced for the presentation:

Live Performance Show
Finally got this over and done with.Our performance basically consisted of a poem about Erasmus Darwin written by Sherri being read outside St. Mary's church in the Lace Market.The rest of us did some acting/mimes which related to the poem.We all dressed up in green to represent Darwin's link to naturalist theories and also used various other related props.I was worried that we would get heavy criticism from jools and dominic since our performance was only around 2 minutes long but we had a display of drawings and information to look at after the show which seemed to make up for the brief show.
We watched 3 other groups performances after which were all pretty good.It was interesting to see how differently everyone had approached this task.My favorite however was one where there were a number of dough turtles things hidden around a field outside this windmill and everyone had to search for them.The turtles had answers to questions written on the back.It felt this was good as it really engaged the audience by adding a fun interactive element to it.
