OKAY NOW ONTO THE TASK

INTERNET DERIVED SHORT FILMS
1. CONCRETE ADDICTION
http://inetfilm.com/movies/documentary/skate.php



I chose this documentary because skating is something i find quite interesting. I could sit and watch a good skater do tricks for hours. Skaters like Tony Hawk and Bam Magera i think are just amazing. They defy gravity in so many ways.
This documentary shows skaters around the city and streets doing what they are passionate about. I find that skaters are looked down upon as a nuisance, which is only sometimes the case. I think that one skater who does something wrong and creates problems gives the rest of them a bad name.
The shots used help portray the message these boys are trying to get across. The constant cuts between skating visuals and the "narrators" gives you a fair idea of who they are and who's sharing their opinion.

2. PARK WARS

okay so i had to put an animation in because i'm a huge fan of shows such as these, not south park specifically, but shows such as Family Guy, American Dad and The Simpsons. Originally they made each show using construction paper, but people are now saying creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, make new elements in Coral Draw and export them as Adobe Illustrator files. The Photoshop and Illustrator files are then sent into Alias/Wavefront's Power Animator 8.5 and Composer on SGI 02 and Octane Workstations, where they are used for animating the episodes.
Each animation has to get Trey's approval and is then sent with the audio to be edited and mixed using Avid Media Composters on Mac computers.
But in April 2001, In the South Park Studios, Karin Perrotta, Post Production Supervisor revealed that South Park is now animated with Maya, with previous items being transferred from Power animator to Maya.

I didnt choose this short film for its content i chose it because of the camera angles and shot types used by the director. The constant panning and cutting makes it intriguing to watch and keeps you guessing. Close ups and long shots mix it up a bit too. Im not sure if they help answer the who, what, when, where and why questions proposed... maybe because there isnt a great deal that needs clarification? who knows?
