North by Northwest

The movie North by Northwest did not keep my attention, in all honesty. I liked the idea of the plot, but I don't really like how it was executed. It was about a man that has been out in the middle of a government operation against federal criminals. He's trying to clear is name and ends up falling in love. I'm honestly not really sure what else to say about it. It was very bland in my opinion. I don't know if this is because it is an older movie or if it just didn't tickle my fancy. I'm desperately trying to think of some intelligent critiques, but I'm not finding any. Maybe a better script? I don't think I really like how it was written.

Music Video

Jason and I did our music video in the style of "2 Guys 600 Pillows" by Rhett and Link. We took a long time to decide on what video to do, but eventually we agreed to do a video backwards. It was fun filming at Emerald City Gym. Sometimes we would disagree on shots or we would get distracted for a bit, but we got back on track fairly quick. Some shots were really difficult, but I do believe that it turned out great. Looking back, I wish I took more time to make sure the shots were in focus and making sure that the lighting was at least similar on all three days. The lighting was able to be fixed, but it would have saved timed to do it before hand. I wouldn't change the shots or anything about how we put it together. It was fun, a learning experience, and all of the hard work really paid off.
