I learned that paramount was the first to completely stop using film and going all digital other studios were expected to be first as well as removing film from cinema was expected to take long and this sped it up now others might just fallow suit. also shipping is less costly from about 2000 dollars to only 100.

I like the idea of digital movies as long as there are little differences.

I thought film would always be used for movies this is a big shift.

Though digital films are cheaper to ship wont it cost more for tickets? equipment needs to be replaced.

I learned that when making a animated sequence don't just make it look into it see if you could add something new. Look back a the story boards and art to see if you could add any of the motions in and also see if you could add on to them with something the director could like.

I liked the process he went through to look at thing and even film himself.

I think his way of video taping the motion you want and doing different takes of it helps.

Does he go through this every time or only when there is extra time?

This week I learned more about lighting and how different things give off different colors of light like incandescent lights give orange light while natural outside lighting gives off a blue to white tone I also learned how three point lighting looks and what it is

I would like to learn how to do better green screen work.

A thing that made me happy this week is that I finished most my school work.

Nothing frustrated me this week every thing is going smooth.

I guess its time for me to head outside  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hmqguIFMC-Y

I learned that many people don't know how to get into the film industry. Ways they could get a foot in the door is to try and get a intern position, get involved in mid to no budget films and small studios. You could also volunteer at film festivals. If your unsure about the path you want look into what the company or organization needs and see if it works for you be prepared to answer questions.

All these ways are good, but what if you cant find anything available do you just wait?

I think most people just need to get more involved with the studios and get known.

I think this article is all about getting prepared and doing your research.

I learned that they used a lot of VFX for one episode of a TV show around 500 shots. They had good contact with the different departments to help make models and add to them to make it animated.

I think the article could've explained each technique they used.

I think the coolest shot is the one with the moving skulls.

How much time and work was put into each shot?

This week I learned about lighting. Like how some lights have different colors ranging from orange to white then blue. I also learned about each light, key light, fill light and back light.

I don't know what I really want to learn I guess perhaps ways to make better green screen shots.

Nothing frustrated me just stressed from school work.

Im happy thats its a long weekend to bad I probably have to use it to finish my work.

I cant wait to see this movie I loved the books https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PgJ_AL-3nB4

I learned that the two ways modern cinematography are vastly different from each other. One way is on a set with actual lights and environment. The other way is to film on set with green or blue screen and then create everything digitally. 

I think both of these ways should be in the same category of cinematography, but then split into sub categories of digital and physical.

I also think that it mostly depends on the skill of the teams and not the way it was created.

If the way does matter could splitting it into sub category help solve the issue? Then could there also be a overall category combining both ways?

I learned that while looking for a team they weren't just looking for people how could story board well, but someone who could get the point across in a funny way. I also learned that they didn't think despicable me would be as big a hit it became. The teams biggest problem was getting original ideas that weren't cliché.

I think its interesting how they changed Gru's and his minions persona from scary evil to something funny.

I also think its interesting how they explained how fast it released because they all had the same idea and the same track on changing and adding to the film.

How did they make a successful movie thing it was just going to fail?

This week I learned nothing really significant or new every things pretty much the same.

I want to learn more about how a idea becomes a big picture film.

This week my group finished filming which made me satisfied, there is a lot of editing ahead.

What frustrated me this week is I have so little time and a ton of work to do.


This article had some interesting things about taking photos during dawn and dusk.  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/newsLetter/Dusk.jsp
