response to class on march 8th

Class yesterday was very interesting, for multiple reasons. Not all of which will be shared here. The improv everywhere exercise was fun but we didn't get the response we wanted. i would say the best we got was the pregnant lady we whose exit we blocked causing her to walk half way around the build to be able to leave. At least she laughed so we wont have to feel bad about making her work too hard. I will post pics from yesterday when i have some extra time! i was fun though to see the look on the face of our fellow class mate who were very confused when everyone froze up. i think matt was the most abused member of our conspiracy, what we can learn from him is to never emulate a human statue while hold item especially a can of soda that is open!

march 1st reflection

blah. the first half was awesome. the last half was like nap time. this dude got frosted like a cake by some random. mmmm! cake!

onions! oh the inhumanity!!!!!

so for my blog i decided to sit down and actually create a logo for my company. the logo isn't the onion, the company is. The name of my company is summer of solace productions. I call it that because last summer i decided that film school was unrealistic for me. during summer 1 i was in 2 classes, a video class and an audio class. during the session i watched Quantum of Solace which inspired me to do some of my best work to date and help me realize that i need to go to film school because that is what i really want. the logo is on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3573491&id=625918836. i call it summer of solace because the movie inspired all of the work that i did that summer and hardened my resolve to achieve my dream, so why not name a company after it!

circle jerking, or something like it..... and the sims!

what is a circle, what defines it? a circle is some thing round, or anything there the end meets up with the beginning and no sharp turns or corners are involved. how does a circle make you feel? i guess technically   a circle is supposed to make you feel safe... however, after playing the sims all weekend long and enduring the infinitely repeating circle that is everyday life i would say circles cause me to feel stir crazy...(what most of my sims are feeling anyway.) circles make me flip out, they are too predictable. when dealing with a circle you know for sure that the end will meet the beginning sooner or later... I would rather go off the grid! Everyday (from living on circle...) -40 mood! my list of examples is as followed:



non visual circle examples:

circle of life
rotation of the earth
c=2πr
solar system
what comes around goes around
russian band called the circles
blood cells
wireless bands
sound beacons (sound waves)
coming full circle
infinite loop
the process of composting
"circling the drain"
"the force"
peace
an invisible circle



visual examples:

rainbow wheel of death
crop circles
w3c logo
doughnuts
water droplets hitting a surface of water
sheep circle
earth
records
clock
wheel
stone henge
the letter "o"
monument circle
the cable hole on the back of an imac
the record button on a remote

circle jerkers united llc!(feb 8th recounted!)

class was different today, special brownies should have been involved. Maybe a creepy clown doll too! MUAWHAHAHAHAHAH! anyways... circle jerking... sounds like a disgusting family tradition for the guys in your family, cough! hopefully not! anyways, i wonder what everyone will come up with cause i have no idea what im going to do, maybe something with a circle of jerky... or my famous jamacian jerk chicken! anyways, loved the disco ball, still think i should have gone with my gut and started playing daft punk!

crop circles nd stuffs!

so i decided to do a oppisite crop circle that is small enough that you can take it with you! it also happens to be deliciously tasty for a "crop circle"(currently thinks about doing doughnuts in a corn field!). anyways,,,,, BOOM!!!! so, i spent all week trying to think of crop circle in a different way. When i actually looked up some pics of crop circles i was surprised at how detailed they were. so, the only way I could out do the original crop circle concept was to be different! Hence the choclatey political brownies i made that represent the future of the human race if we dont stop using nuclear weapons. will post a pic of the brownies later maybe!

Response to class on Feb. 2nd

Class was what some might call different, although im not sure that describes it. Im not really sure how to describe it so i will just say... Wtf, and Omg.. moving on. I did like the red apple exercise although i dont think it worked for me like it was supposed to. Crop circles. thats all i have.
