A Reflection on the 6 Shot System is what my sensei is requiring of me, so I will.

As mentioned in my previous post (cough), we were assigned to film a short video using the 6 shots and the rule of thirds. 

At first I had the idea of recording my cat sleeping, but then I remembered I don't have a cat. So that was out. Secondly, I thought maybe it could be a video of my friends playing basketball, but then I remembered I don't have any friends. And that I don't like basketball.

Finally, I decided on a man (little boy) trying to fill out a job application, but he has no social skillz whatsoever:

This guy



Best Buy better prepare itself.






After my filming, I imported it to Adobe Premiere Pro (because you know your boy has the hook up), and edited it so hard. I've used Adobe After Effects before, so I kinda knew my way way around, but I did have to search up how to flip a video clip.

What I should've done different, however, was add in some Naruto running and music. Because that is quality humor. 




Welcome to Garmin, friends.





What I would like to keep is the excellent music provided by the LittleBigPlanet video games.

Next time, I will use an actual tripod, and get some better lighting. I think I have some of those emergency flashlights laying around somewhere. 

All in all, I am quite proud of my video. Link in the description below, and make sure to-uh, yeah jus-just smash that like button.

My First Adobe Premiere Video

Our second e-Comm assignment had me moderately excited to finally start filming, since I love to film and make crappy videos. 

My class was introduced to the six-shot system, and we were itching to get started with our little iPad minis. However, I did not have any friends in this class at the time, so I decided to film my video at home. Problem was, I did not own a tripod, so I had to improvise (like I always do).

The sad thing is that this boy's build is better than mine was. 


K'nex beats cardboard hanging from the ceiling like scissors beats paper.


Even if my video gives me a bad case of The Cringe, it took blood, sweat, and tears. Blood from cardboard cuts, sweat because my basement was very hot, and tears from keeping my eyes open too long without blinking.

Here ya go (music belongs to LittleBigPlanet 2, and Media Molecule)
