Project 3: Money On My Mind




       
     Our location is at the theatre and the basement of Hunter College. In our video, the actor can be seen fervently chasing after a one hundred dollar bill. Inside the theatre, the bill takes on mischievous character traits and it can be seen hiding where the actor cannot see it. When the actor finally finds the $100, he realizes to his dismay that it is actually a $1 bill. The video concludes with a sad and dejected actor.
            I came up with the idea for a comical money chase scene. We shot the footage on two separate days; we were not aware that our footage during the first day was not adequate to maintain continuity. We experienced many difficulties during the shooting phase because of issues with time, space and lighting; inside the theatre we had to use ISO 3200 but we still had insufficient lighting. We came and met together to edit our videos numerous times whilst enduring many hours of frustration. In the production phase of our video, we encountered numerous obstacles. We were riddled with encoding issues, USB size issues, horrible rendering problems, different versions of final cut pro, non-existent internet connection, and limited hours of the media lab. In the midst of this agonizing situation, we are thankful for Flonia’s assistance and helpful pointers in regards to our video. We hope that you appreciate the time and energy we have inserted into this video and enjoy its contents.
