So for our third assignment for the film/landscape class I’m taking we had an interesting assignment: Explore the post-apocalyptic landscape. But wait, there’s more! We were supposed to make a movie that explored Race, the Apocalypse and Landscape. We were to do this by doing another montage of footage from Children of Men, 28 Days Later, and I Am Legend.
Me being myself, I chose to go a different route. I chose to shoot and create my own apocalypse.
This proved to be rather difficult however, because as of right now I still don’t know the Boulder area nor do I know any people to con into being on a film crew or to be actors. This meant I had to make the apocalypse alone.
With the help of Andrew Gingerich, the Wikimedia Commons, and Night of the Living Dead, I’ve created this: Shrimpocalypse! Now originally it was to be due yesterday (Friday), however it’s been pushed back a week. This means that you, my seven readers, can tell me if this works or not. Please, any feedback you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please. Tell me anything.
I was actually using La Jetée as inspiration or what-not for this film, I figured it was the best bet I had. I have considered making it all black and white, but not in very much detail. Right now my only concern would be that some of the images would be reduced greatly in quality (as they’re pretty zoomed in), but I’ll take a look at how a black and white version would look.
Nicely done. Reminds me of La Jetée, and not just because it’s got still images in it.
Have you considered making it black-and-white? Or better yet, how about making everything black-and-white except for the footage of the cassette tape at the beginning and the images of Nepal?
