Final Film: Stress of Perfection

Madison Hurst

Stress of PerfectionDownload

Following the guidelines:

The different ways my film was able to follow the guidelines was, first, through the way I was able to incorporate stop motions scenes throughout the film. On this film I was able to use up to 5 frames per second of stop motion. Secondly, this past semester we had learned about film and how there can be obstructions on the different ways of how to make a film. An example of this, is seen in my film, Stress of Perfection, through the theme of one’s difficult strive for perfection being portrayed by the usage of different and unique individual pieces of film.

Dome Projection Trials – Maria

For my project, I chose to project various footage of cells and organisms observed through the lens of a microscope. The goal of this experiment was to be immersive, and test how some of life’s smallest structures could be displayed on a large scale.

First, I took all of my images and placed them over a black background via Instagram stories. This allowed me to quickly, and easily, crop the top layer image (through the microscope) into a perfect circle. I saved my creations back to my camera roll. Since I could not follow this same process for other forms of media, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create a circular black mask around my video content. I then uploaded all of the media into iMovie so that I could arrange my content, add transitions, and adjust play speed. Since iMovie formatted everything onto a black rectangle, I utilized Adobe After Effects to crop my final into a square the size of my circular content and export as seen above. This would allow the footage to be compatible with RMU’s dome projector.
