I was quite eager to see what the Cheerleader group had to present this week. I’m kind of a fan of their project because I find their central character so fascinating (besides the fact that I know her peripherally). I enjoyed their rough cut quite a bit, and it flowed so well. They didn’t need [...]

The editing sessions with Tom were actually the easiest part. Before this, I found that was having to force myself to feel enthusiastic about the subject. I felt like my levels of interest rose significantly during the editing process. Perhaps I was a little disinterested in the latter stages of pre-production because I couldn’t see [...]

I feel that our group worked reletively well together throughout this project. Although we generally felt a disdain for the subject and the technology (or was that just me?), I think we managed to pull it together. I feel like we all contributed something valuable to the project whether it was creative or organisational. There [...]

One issue that Tom and I have encountered post-filming is the idea of subtitles. Initially, I was all for subtitles. When we were interviewing Tseker I couldn’t really understand everythig that he was saying because he has a rather thick accent. I was worried that it would somehow be a distraction and that people would [...]

The idea of this group’s video was quite cleaver and the twist was quite effective. I liked how they included live action footage and wove it in with the Second Life footage. At first, I thought the film was slightly clunky, but once I clicked with the twist I really enjoyed it.

This group’s Kribz video was probably the best in terms of style and aesthetic. The idea was original and wonderfully comical. The group guided us through their elaborate set so well by using the style of a MTV cribs episode as a means of showing us what they’d done. Very good!
I was so impressed by [...]

The quality of this group’s video was quite high. The set was quite impressive, and it was well directed. The video also utilised colour grading and sound effects and music to great effect.
I was quite impressed by how much effort had gone into the construction of this film. It’s obvious that they have acquainted [...]

This was a very very very long day. We’d had a lot of trouble organizing a time to actually film our machinima. Everyone was more committed to their TV2 documentaires, which was completely understandable. After we’d finally knuckled down and started filming, we realised that this would take forever. There weren’t any actual glitches as [...]
