Can I embed on here?
I guess I can…
Fun times. The best thing about it is that it cuts well together. Good coverage. I’ll save you the “Why do you include a close-up of the water glass?” style breakdown, because it sort of looks like the purpose of the project was to block things out.
The aspect ratio is a bit off, probably related to your choice of export codex. I do not know what you recorded on but if it was card media, you should match the export codex to that card’s native media; if it was a tape, the problem could also be from digitizing the footage in a codex outside the footage’s native settings. Something to play around with.

I was confused when exporting it of what setting to use, so i asked one of the lab aides and she helped me. Once I watched it though, it was clearly stretched >.< I’ll probably re-export it at some point.
I am sorry for asking this but Polaris, do you expect someone else to post from your account? I mean, seeing that “—PolarisDiB” at the end of your post is really getting on my nerves. I can hardly focus on what you have written in your post unless its extremely long.
I am not a film maker but whenever I think of performing a task with hands, I think of Bresson. His camera usually dwells in the lower half of the body and the way he shoots the hands is so methodical. I was strangely reminded of the scene in A Man Escaped where the prisoner makes the rope in his prison cell while watching your video.
well thank you. that’s quite nice.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but here’s a short little video I did for my cinema/ television production class. The only guideline for the project was that you had to edit by cutting on the actions. A lot of people basically did a “how to” kind of thing. I however, took a more…. unique, approach. It’s not perfect, there’s some lighting issues and some awkward edits towards the end. Overall though, I don’t think it turned out too bad.
