Film Chastity

The last semester of my senior year was surprisingly extremely productive. I got myself into a film class that really helped me explore film from behind a camera.

The first assignment was a study of Dogme 95 which was a group of filmmakers that created strict guidelines, or 'Vows of Chastity' in an attempt to purify the art form of film. Our assignment required that we just follow two of the guidelines so I choose to abstain from using filters or other optical work, and I used no out of place props. We were also not allowed to use a shot for more than 15 frames at a time. The last stipulations seemed to really override all of the Dogme 95 Vows, but it still made for an interesting assignment.

Senior Thesis GO!

The last thing I did over the summer was begin pre-production on my senior thesis. Everything was really loose and ended up drastically changing by the middle of my first semester, but I managed to make this short intro storyboard before changing the story. I was also messing around with some After Effects puppet animation and looking back I'm a little sad I didn't give it more of a shot. Those legs look pretty sexy.
