Time Bomb

Well today me and Esther finished our last newmedia project. We entitled our video Time Bomb mostly because that is how it felt. The whole pace of the video was such that it seemed like it was running down almost like time was running out. One of our last sequences was of two images flicking back and forth rapidly and then cutting to a clip of a nuclear explosion, to me it felt like a timer going off followed by a detonation. The meaning of our video was time is running out to save our earth and if we dont do something soon it may be to late and we will have to live with the consequences. In the end I actually really enjoyed working on this project, the program Premier was not to hard to work with all thought at the end there was some things that were kind of fidgety. I wish we would have had more time to work on it and then we would have been able to really find high quality footage and really fine tune our video. One thing that would have been really nice to do would have been to sync our still shot cuts in time with the beat or certain notes in our audio, unfortunately we did not have enough time to do that kind of detailed work. It was neat to put audio music to our piece after we were finished because it seemed like the music was almost written for the video we created, it was so neat to hear how everything just came together in the end. As people view our video we hope that they will feel like there is something wrong with our attitudes towards what we are doing to our earth. The interesting thing is im not really an environmentalist or anything like that so to make a movie that seems to push an environmental agenda is not something I would normally do, it was just that we did not want people to think everything is ok. As the old saying goes ignorance is bliss we decided to see if we could erase peoples ignorance and possible evoke some sort of personal evaluation about what they are doing to our earth either directly or passively to effect it in a positive or negative way.
