Video Player Added

2007 Apple Insomnia Film Contest

In addition to putting the video player up as planned, I added permanent links so you can easily load any of the videos stored in the player. The animation is currently the default film, but I will put up more films soon. I also have currently added a test cut of the hummingbirds I filmed in slow motion last summer. There is plenty more of that stuff in my archive, and I’ll have something cut together before my big journey off the grid. The image above is from the Apple Insomnia contest entry. It ended up being a musical with an new song written specifically for the project. I should have it on Untold Voyage soon. In the mean time, I need to study for my last final which I have on Thursday. Merry Christmas!

Here is the permanent link to my animation.

Ragnar: an untold voyage

I finished up my final animation over last weekend. I had a screening of a rushed version last Friday. It still went well and the audience laughed in the places I hoped they would. It’s exciting to have a large number of people all in one room watching your own work. I will be putting up my video player on Untold Voyage tonight.

I also added a visual pun using only Trajan as my typeface for all titles. I actually like the typeface a lot. However, some poor souls are getting sick of it since it is used for almost every movie out there. My video player will have something most others usually don’t, subtitles. I actually implemented something similar to a project I had when I used to work for my university’s athletic department. Well, until the next post…
