12 journey steps

i just bought the new resident evil movie. the movie is like an ongoing cont.
but so far, it does seem to follow the steps evenly...until the mentor part. because for awhile, alice is on her own thru the movie..so she doesnt meet up with her comrades until she takes on enemies early on. so her journey is more like a self relization simulation. she isnt exactly sure who she is. and really, i dont see a mentor or guide through the movie, if flashbacks count then maybe. because that was the way that she found out about the cure, something triggered her memory as she was getting deeper into the hive.like her mind follows the steps but the journey itself doesnt.

no steps r skipped. they are just outta order. but i to to recap the first one, because thats where it started. the second one just leads into an infected city, then the third one..the entire planet.

the boondock saints

one of the coolest scenes in the movie, is when conner and murphy storm the russian mafia headquaters. and the camera shots used to make the scene were point of view shots. the light was pretty mid, not too bright not dark. the scene was mostly done in slow motion. conner and murphy were upside down the entire time.

10. minute vid. ideas

#1.i want to start a vid, about a guy that suffered from amnesia. he can't exactly remember who he is..and the whole story is him trying to remember his purpose and why he exists. he struggles to keep in touch with the real world..his best friend later on turns out being his alter ego..which everyone around him even his girlfriend just believes he is crazy.

#2.There's always that one house on the block that speculates rumors of a haunted history. Kate and her kid brother learn the hard way. Kate is a tom-boy that hangs out with her child-hood guy friends, joey and ed. who constantly dare each other to sneak around the old house to investigate the truth. finally kate takes the dare...and she finds out that the house is like one big illusion..the front door disappears as soon as her and her brother enter.
o
#3.a lead investigator, a spy, named cynthia, is told by her chief to do the most dangerous task of her life: to hunt down and get information from a serial killer. but strangly enough she starts having feelings for him...

linkin park vid.



this is a music video by linkin park. it's all animated. the cool thing i found in this video is that the band is animated as well. there is alotta crazy effects in there too, like breaking glass, giant machines, panic,like reverse action when the lead singer to the band falls off the building hits the car, then bounces all the way back up to the top of the building
kill bill is a great movie. it is very unique, i love how they blended black and white filming and color. that's something you don't get to see often. they put a animated scene into the movie as well. i loved that touch, there's rarely any movies that do that. when i seem this film for the first time, i thought to myself, i wish i can make something that neat.
