Steve Johnson

I liked the TED talk that we watched because it is true. Good ideas do not come from the isolation of an individual most o f the time. Good ideas appear from individuals collaborating and sometimes just talking trash to each other. I think he is right that coffee shops are a boost to innovation.

Experience making Film

I had a great time working in my group for this final video. The most difficult part was the amount of time we were allotted. We had so many different ideas but did not have the proper amount of time to fulfill them all to our expectations. The best part of filming in a group is the fun that we had. Although our video only contained a small blooper at the end, we have a vast amount of outtakes.

The Gap

I understand what he talks about when he discusses the gap between art that is mediocre and disappointing, to the art that astonishes and is everything you want it to be. Right now I am currently in this stage. My art work is mediocre and is slightly disappointing. I think every artist or creative minded person needs to see this video. I don't care if they are already accomplished or not, they will be able to relate to this struggle in their career and help others to continue as well.

Onward to the Edge

I found the video to be interesting. I already knew of this video though because I have seen the one called, "We Are All Connected". I find them useful because it becomes a rhythm in your head that becomes very easy to understand and remember.

Green Screen Editing

The most challenging part about using green screen would probably be trying to eliminate the green screen completely from the video. Also keeping my transitions in there. I discovered (at the last minute) that once you move he video around, it disregarded the transitions that I placed. The easiest part would have to be creating the sequence and sizing the videos or image to be large enough for the film. The most surprising part about working with green screen would have to be the fact that it can be used to place anything in the background, from images, to other videos.
