Inspiration Strikes

I used to believe inspiration came from all kinds of sources around the daily objects we touch, to the daily elements we see, and all things that are captured by our senses. But now that I need inspiration to guide me in the process of starting my film opening project... Mr. Inspiration seems to be H-I-D-I-N-G. Perfect timing, am I right?! But well if life gives you lemons make lemonade... and life gave me the internet so I spent a whole afternoon researching famous productions and figuring out what genre was my piece going to be. The following video Top Film Openings was extremely helpful in providing me a initial idea on what I should look out for in my project to have:

  • hook
  • innovative
  • appealing to target audience
  • interesting angles/shots
  • quality image

I decided to follow my own taste and found inspiration in my favorite movies for the genre science fiction and drama. Keep tuned and don't be doomed!

For the first seconds of my film opening, to portray the credits and present the production company Cascade Studios I will be doing the previously discussed domino effect circuit. After thinking about this scene thoroughly and analyzing the best approach to record this, I have reached the conclusion of utilizing a illumination and special effects box. I will be the one responsible for the creation of this box. In this post I am merely to discuss the step by step process that will constitute the development and creation of this box and later on in the blog I will provide photographic evidence of the results and move on to using the box. Cut out the top of the box and the front, leaving a bar across the top to help your box keep it’s shape                                                                       ...
