Assignment 2 Video

Narrative:
I stand as witness, a witness of the falling of a giant.


I witnessed the superstructure that once stands tall above all, now a lying in a heap; and all the elements that enables it to tower above everything else returned to its original form.

Concrete that are so robust in its form can reach for the skies because it has steel as its bones.

Walls that are strong and thick were once brick and stones.

Glass that looks pure, transparent and Omni can shatter to a million pieces.

I held my hand up, all I can see now are tissue that forms my skin and muscles, the veins that carries by blood, the molecules that forms the DNA strands in the cells, and the atoms that can be split to even smaller parts.

These are “all” the” ones” that make me “one”

Then I realise, everything is made the same.

I am just “one” of the witness in the crowd; the crowd is just one of the groups of people that belonged to this city; the city is one of many in this country; the county sits on a piece continent formed by many nations; the land, the sea and the atmosphere formed our beloved planet earth which sits on the third place in terms of distance of the sun that give warmth to its planets………

We are merely numbers to the country; we are no more than dusts to the planet; we are near to nothing if the universe decides to look at us.

Time is our judge, in the end we will become “one”, with the world, and with the universe.

Narrative.

I stand as witness, a witness of the falling of a giant.


I witnessed the superstructure that once stands tall above all, now a lying in a heap; and all the elements that enables it to tower above everything else returned to its original form.

Concrete that are so robust in its form can reach for the skies because it has steel as its bones.

Walls that are strong and thick were once brick and stones.

Glass that looks pure, transparent and Omni can shatter to a million pieces.

Story Board

This is my story boarding for Assignment 2, I lost my key Frames Sheets, so i cant post it up. XP
There are notes on each frame...............if u could read my hand writing that is........














It seems alot but that is because each frame only lasts about 2~6 seconds max (40 frames in total).

References for Assignment 2

These are the videos that I used as a references and examples for assignment 2.

This is the opening for an anime called Gunslinger Girl II Teatrino, Song by KOKIA.



What i would like to take from this video are the way the picture slide shows fade in and out from the frames, and by syncing the progression of the relative images and texts to the beat and the song lyrics a dynamic video presentation can be made (of course).

another few video, which is a bit off topic which i like to show are also very good in this sense.
They show superb control over the images in relation to the music used
This is an AMV made by "Gunma" - "ToHeart2 - Last present"



This video is just so dynamic that i fell in love the first time i saw it.

There are other videos that are very good in this sense which i will not embed but i will leave a link so u guys can still see it.
