Final Project: Yes, Girls Play D&D May 5, 2009

I decided to use this final project as a chance to do something my friends and I have been meaning to do for a while – make a short documentary about how there is actually a group of girls that play D&D in this world.  We’ve discussed the idea among ourselves for quite some time, [...]

Commercial: DHL Commercial March 31, 2009

Well, I thought about going with a trailer for this one, since that technically counts as a commercial in my mind, but… I ended up going with this instead.  This commercial depicts a woman kissing a delivery man, and then that delivery man delivering the kiss faithfully to what could be termed a somewhat unwilling [...]

Music Video: Handlebars March 25, 2009

I choose this video almost right off the back for using rather original animation.  For the most part, music videos these days seem to just be people singing with a story going on in the background.  I like that this video didn’t need to show the band members rocking out or anything. The animation in [...]

Lion King Review March 17, 2009

I chose to do Disney’s “The Lion King” for nostalgia’s sake.  It’s been ages since I’ve seen it, however, and so I decided to focus on what remains to be one of my favorite Disney songs, “Be Prepared.”  It’s a fun sequence that made no sense to me as a child, because the words were [...]

V for Vendetta Movie Poster March 2, 2009

This is one of the movie posters used to promote the movie “V for Vendetta,” directed by the Wachowski brothers.  The poster features a rather muted color scheme with bright orange and red for emphasis in certain places and faded beige and green as background colors.  The green and bright orange is on the inside [...]

Opening Sequence: Gundam 00 February 23, 2009

So, continuing along my tend of general nerdiness, here is the second opening sequence used in the first season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.  This show was coming out in Japan around this time last year, and the opening sequence, set to the song “Ash like Snow,” by The Brilliant Green.  This is an opening [...]

Eisenstaedt February 17, 2009

These pictures were all done by Afred Eisenstaedt, the most famous being, of course, VJ Day.  That photograph, however, was taken in the heat of the moment, as it were, and while it is rightly famous, it does not appear to fit Eisenstaedt’s usual style of photography, which seems rather darker.  Each of these photos [...]

Photo Essay: The Eye and The Claw February 10, 2009

http://s591.photobucket.com/albums/ss359/miracle_falcon/?action=view&current=1-1.jpg I had one of those claws you can get at carnivals and Chuck E. Cheese or whatever lying around, and I had these odd little toys from when I was ten… And I just figured they went well together.  The tricky part of it was keeping the claw gripped around the little yellow eyeball [...]

Analysis of a Photograph February 9, 2009

I honestly don’t remember where I got this picture – I simply saved it to my computer due to sheer hilarity.  This image was likely taken at an anime convention, where numerous people dress up as characters from anime shows or video games.  The two characters in this photograph are lawyers from a video game, [...]

Web Ad: AMVs.org February 3, 2009

This ad is a banner on a website called AnimeMusicVideos.org, or AMV.org.  The goal of theses banners, which function like ads, is to get people to join the website.  Fans of the website make them for free, and most incorporate (with questionable legality) the images of characters from different anime television shows.  I chose this [...]
