Sam D Makes An Autobiographical Movie

In which I actually show the polished version of the movie from the edit in my last post.  Assignment:  autobiographical movie about 30 shots in 60 seconds.

Sam D Makes A Depressing Movie

Assignment:  make a 3-5 minute concept film in the style of something you'd watch in a museum.  The concept?  Love.

I sat around for a few days not having any ideas, then I listened to Gymnopedies and decided to just make something that tried to capture the feel of that piece.  I'm pretty happy with the result apart from the dirt on the lens in a bunch of shots - there was one really beautiful one I had to cut just because there was too much dirt.


EDIT:  Here's a link to the other film I edited today.  It was a good day for editing; I was in the lab from like 2pm until 10pm.  So much fun.  People all around, fellow CAMS majors... We talked, we edited, we discussed next fall's classes... It was great.

The assignment:  come up with a universal sounding question, ask it of a bunch of people, then edit together the results.  This is the results.

Sam D Makes A Movie

Turns out I do that from time to time.  Actually, this one got made back in the fall, and I just forgot to put it up here.  It was always my intention to use this site as a place to store movies I'd made and was proud of, and since I haven't had the time / motivation to write anything as of late I thought this would be an acceptable alternative.  There's more of these in the pipeline; I even filmed some today!  I never thought holding a boom-mic could be so exciting.  And I shock myself by saying that without sarcasm.

Anyway, here's a video:

EDIT:  Oh God it's embarrassing to go back and watch that again...
EDIT2:  Okay only the voice-overs are really embarrassing, and they were only there because they were required.  So I'm going to call this one a net win.
