La Jetée

In 1962, a Frenchman named Chris Marker released his film La Jetée. The film is a series of still images, except for a single filmed shot, that tells a story about time travel in a post-nuclear war world. An unnamed man is sent back in time in search for a cure to the world's contemporary problems. On these journeys back in time, the man falls in love with a girl who he vaguely remembers from the time before the war. I will stop there, but if you would like to find out more here are a pair of links to help you out with that:

We were given an assignment to make our own film in the La Jetée style which would be based on a series of subtitles from the movie. Coinciding with this, we were reading an article on copyrights and plagiarism, so we had to include images that were not our own, incorporating them into the film as if we had taken them ourselves. It is a very large Quicktime movie file, so I would advise following the download link instead of playing it directly in your browser (please have some patience with the download time). Also, it is a proprietary Quicktime file, so you will need Quicktime (available here for free) installed on your computer in order to view the movie. Without further adieu, here is the link my film: http://www.zshare.net/video/4588262359ac88/

New Drawing Showcase

Wow y'all, sorry for the lack of posts! It has been a month, but I have gotten a lot of work done in that month. Hopefully I will get a lot of that work up here in the blog. Mid-terms came and went, which were the main cause for my lack of time to put into the blog. Most of the work in this post were part of my drawing mid-term. Also, I will be finishing my 4D midterm this at the beginning of the week so be on the look out for that. So here are nine drawings. As always, click on the thumbnail for a full screen view.










There you have it! Hope you enjoy them and, of course, any comments or criticism would be great!
