I had a fun time with the video race. Because of my work schedule I didn't have much time to go get the prop exactly when it came out. When I went Saturday afternoon, I must admit I was mildly disappointed with the prop. My first thought was "These will be so easy to scan," however after wondering around my house I figured out that I did not want to scan this stuff and instead wanted my project to be stop motion. I found just about the weirdest thing I could... a doll torso jewelry holder, which would be the resting place for all the gels.
I wanted to create a fashionable world in my room so I grabbed some scrapbook paper ans set up a "runway" in the corner of my room where the sun hit it best. I took about 150 photos on my iPhone which consisted of headless jewelry holder, tin foil, an evil makeup brush holder, and some horrifying judges.
After I was done with the photos I took them into Iphoto and enhanced the colors a little bit to give it an extra boost. In final cut I cut down and sped up some of the images in a way that made the timing feel just right. I had no clue what to do about sound. I was thinking about doing some ADR but then felt that might be a little cheesy, (and I am horrible at voice overs.) Instead I landed on RuPauls "Supermodel," song which instantly got engraved into my brain. I still am singing this cult like song.
This is the first video race I have ever been apart of. I really wanted to do the 1 hour 1 take VR at visions, but was not able to participate in it, so when this assignment came up I was really excited!
