The Great Train Robbery

Like the other silent films The Great Train Robbery is a truly terrible short film. The plot is useless and poorly done. But for that day and age it was groundbreaking. For movie goers in that day and age it would have truly  fascinated them and made em feel like were transported into the world they havent seen before. The use of gun shots and color in the end are weak but for that day and this use of technology is amazing.

Stop Motion

In class we learned about stop motion videos and how they are becoming a new and improved form of art. I watch one called Big Milk and it completely caught my attention. The use of the stop motion and lights immediately capture my attention. It is provocative and makes you think. I had to watch it a couple of times to fully understand what was going on and I still don't fully. The use of the skeletons was really fascinating. I also love the length of it and how the man who is painted like a skeleton starts and ends by eating out of the empty cabinet.

Vernacular Photography

This was a major switch in the photography industry because now everyone can be photographer and most people want to know their creative brains. The use of photography became a very social and happy aspect of culture. Before vernacular photography came into play photos were dull and appeared to emotionless. But now picture are happy and and playful and showed a lot of creativity. This picture is one of my favorites

Abe Morell

Abe Morell's Camera Obscura is amazing. The concept of blackening out a room and cutting out a small hole to project the image of what ever is out side fascinates and amazes me. It almost looks like magic. On his website all of his pictures amaze me. The ones that I were particularly drawn too where the bedroom ones. The beds are perfect center piece to the amazing scenery. its so magical and almost something out of this world. The picture is so vivid and amazing. I was completely unaware how such a simple idea could turn into something so amazing and revolutionary

The life and death of opera

When i watched the life and death of opera I was fascinated by the evolution of opera its self. I also love how it dropped alot of interesting facts about the birthplace of opera and explaining how its not about the stories but its mostly about the evolution of stories and how the music has changed dramiticly and how its different in each country. my favorite part was how it evolved in to broadway and how the words started off to be sung in a different manner and how they were changed later on.

Deus ex Machina

Dues Ex Machina is a when a problem in a movie or book is solved instantly with a solution that does seem logical at all a prime example of this is in the movie The Other Woman in the end all of the three women that the man is cheating on meet up. and then they end up banding together to black mail the guy and ruin him. In logical world will the girlfriend wife and mistress all talk and end up liking each other and using what each girl has to bring him down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZcQfnGcqDU

Madama Butterfly

This animation was very morbid but got its point across in a very beautiful manner. The butterfly appeared to be a symbol of innocence. I love how it was portrayed with very innocent kid like dolls but it deals with issues like having children before marriage, sex, loss of a child, and suicide. It kind shows how people can view things in a artistic lens to make morbid things seem like an art form.

Juan Carlos Delgado

his art amazes me. I have never seen an artist freeze sculptures.  It reminds of something out of Narnia or Alice in Wonderland. The ice and how it changes with the temperature of the room gives each of these pieces emotion and almost make them come alive. Another piece of his that stood out to me was a glowing green door it was eerie and made me think of a haunted house
