Other digital media project reviews

Alex's piece: Not exactly sure what the argument is, the artwork is extremely well down though.  From what I could see while he was standing up there it's related to his tattoos. It needs a little further development but I think it has potential.

My own work: got the argument, music went well, good quality, good visual of buildings, visual wasn't distracting.

development: sadder music audience would've cried, more audio splicing, image fade in/out.

Craig's work: argument, everyone needs a montage. fantastic acting, video clips fit in really well, appropriate length. development: working high quality, little more space in between some videos

Steven's work: argument, what is like in the dark? What do friends do as they wander around the town, having fun looking for a good time, not really anything else. Pros: great cinematography, solid camera shots, music fit great with the piece, clips fit smoothly together. Cons: I could see how some people having trouble following the work.

Ronnie/Stevie: argument, actions speak louder than words, everyone's different from what they say they are and how they act. Pros: funny, the video splicing is very well done, I like the chapters split up. Cons: maybe language? some sound quality is a little bad in spots, not a lot of people know what the MICUP program is.

Sarah's work: Argument, the will to live? Maybe to keep running and trying even if you're tired. Pros: good song choice, fit the visual elements. Cons: wasn't really sure what she was doing in the beginning of the video, message was a little unclear.

Greg: argument, getting out knowledge about bills in house. Pros: very well broken down for many different generations, friendly looking, easy to navigate. Cons: scroll buttons didnt highlight on my browser, could just be the computer though.

Kay's video: argument, kindergartner development? pros: good shot transitions. cons: hard to tell what exactly we were looking at, not sure if that was the best song choice, seemed a little heavy for this type of video but it is her style, maybe add some before/after shots to help show his progress? Best quote: "When I grow up I want to be a green crayon."

Kyle's website: argument, showing off his portfolio and his website. Pros: easy on the eyes, quote in the center is inspiring and not threatening, easy to navigate. Cons: older browsers make the page look like crap, image didn't scale well.

Jifu's video: argument, save me from myself? Pros: different song than I would have expected, good intro, I liked the different view points from different players, using cs instead of css was a good chance of pace. Cons: the argument was a little unclear, video was rather long and ended abruptly.
