Other projects in the class updates

A Brewing Community-Zach's doc has really started to take shape and it gets more fun everytime I watch it. I love how Zach uses music in his films to create a mood, usually positive, and really bring you into the story. I can't wait to see MORE BEER!
People Like You-Whitney's style and humor definitely comes out in her animation and I love the balance of absurdity and parody that Whitney paints in her story. Her simplistic animation style is super fun too. An awesome short that I can't wait to see the final!
The List-What a talented animator James is! His thirst for life shines through his mini animation about crossing things off your bucket list. I love it and I love his animations style. His color palette is welcoming and inspiring and his use of sound and motion creates an awesome atmosphere for the entire sequence. James took this project head on even though he knew it would require A LOT of work! But he killed it and I know the final will be even better!
Portrait of an Artist as a Young Woman-This film, similarly to ours, has definitely come a long way since our original pitches. Kateland has definitely dug deep into the soul's of these young artists and really has engaged herself in their passion. It's really awesome because Kateland uses her skills or portraying a subject to portray a subject that portrays another subject! I know! Crazy! But their film has improved so much since the preliminary cuts we watched, I can't wait to see the final! Docs rule!
Estranged-Jessica's project was the project I was most tentative about understanding when we first had class but after seeing multiple cuts, I know this project has meant a lot to Jess and that her final showing will be very powerful. From Jess' color blending flashbacks to her heartfelt, gripping interview footage, I think everybody at The Black Sheep is in for a surprise. I know I'll be able to feel every ounce of Jess' passion for this project during the installation.
Killing a Southern Belle-I love Mars' writing and the humor that comes through it, and I've been a supporter of his installation from the beginning. His writing cracks me up for a lot of reasons, but I think Mars' take on natural conversation really brings a lot of humor to his characters. I know I'll be pretty engaged in his installation but I also can't wait to laugh my ass off!!!
