August 31 : Concept Briefs for WoundSeal Project Brief

First Idea: 
Boy runs up to dad shouting that he got shot in the head. The dad, not even worrying, pulls out his WoundSeal Pouch and pours the powder on the boy's wound. It heals up. The boy asks, "But dad, what about the bullet?"

The dad laughs heartily and says, "Don't worry son, it's all in your head." And he winks at the camera.



Second Idea:
"Fix it!" Yells a soccer player. He's bleeding from his leg and is lying on the field. A medic rushes to him and applies WoundSeal. It heals up. The soccer player is still angry. He says, "Not me! The Ball!" And the medic turns to see a deflated ball lying on the field.



Third Idea:
In a metal workshop, there's a lot of pointy objects. A father is showing his son around. He says, "This is where I work," and loses focus of his son. He hears a scream and turns around to find his boy sitting on the ground. He's hurt. The father rushes to the boy and finds he's bleeding a little. "I scratched too hard at a mosquito bite." The father smiles and applies WoundSeal. It heals up.





Idea Generation:
The way I developed these ideas is by thinking of ways people can bleed but not in such a graphic manner so that it puts off the viewer. Then I began to think of the target audience who might want to buy WoundSeal. I thought of children and sports players. From there, I just dug into my imagination to see what I could pull out. Something humorous that could be conveyed in twenty seconds.

August 16 : Good/Bad Video Content

Good Source: Youtube

Bad Source: Youtube

The first video is good because it starts out with just one guy dancing, as all the classic harlem shakes do. In the second video though, you can clearly see that there are two people dancing at the beginning. It doesn't give that sense of isolation that you feel with the first video. The good video also wins in the transition. The best harlem shakes transition the two clips with a simple cut without having the camera move at all between the two shots. In the bad video, the transition is a crossfade and that ruins the surprise that the best harlem shakes are known for. If they had cut in the bad video though, it would've only looked awkward and clunky because the camera would've slightly shifted between the two cuts. In my opinion, they should not have been hand holding the camera. As for the second part of both videos, they did pretty well. The bad video could've featured some more wacky acts, but I'll let it slide.

August 15 : First Post

My name is Felipe Sanchez. This is my second year as a computer animation major. The reason for taking this class was so I could see how different people approach storytelling and to hopefully find people who share the same passion in writing stories as I do. Mainly, I hope to learn how to tell stories in unique and imaginative ways.
