The Pretty Pretty Princess |
The story behind this video is simple. The students wanted to make a 'movie' and they were studying alliteration in school. So each student was assigned a letter and we made sentences where every word in the sentence started with the assigned letter. (e.g. Tyranny typifies tremendous tarantulas.) The letters chosen were: A, M, T, S and C. We then tried to make a story around our alliteration exercise that sort of made sense. Sort of. That's the nice thing about making films after school - they don't have to make sense as long as you're having fun - and we had fun! Note for the tech-minded: This was edited using the first original version of Final Cut Pro. In the opening titles each letter was individually motion-tracked and it took quite a bit a time to get this effect. Now it's a breeze on FCP 6. |
