Fight at Desert Rock

I've seen many videos about the proposed Desert Rock Power Plant and this one I felt was the best. I really liked how they interviewed many opposers of the power plant and how they started with someone who is fighting for the plant. I liked the natural light used with the second interview and the use of a story or visual. This film is also short and to the point.

SEA TURTLES

This film is so cute because I love sea turtles. The film is very unprofessional because of its sound, and the lenses not being clean.
The people who are filming this have good intentions and really need a nice experienced film taker. They must have been using a prosumer camera but when you need to show something you work with what you've got.

J. Trudell

I like this short interview of John Trudell. I liked the black and white effect and the turning of the camera as the interview was taking place. It gave a nice dramatic effect.

Uproot today

I had to go through a lot of recordings of this particular speech made by Bush and this one was the clearest. The sound is lower but the quality of it was way better. I was more intrigued by the message than anything else. A lot of Native activists across our nation were in a uncontrollable and contagious uproar about his response.

Sovereignty means "supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by a state or community" (dictionary.com).

I came across this one and was intrigued by the syncronized lighting and music. They came together perfectly. This must have taken a lot of time and thought. This is a great experiment with sound and motion.

distortions

when I first saw this I was blown away. The realization of the flipside of what really happens in some advertisement is atonishing. This small piece says alot of where we're at today and the troubles that are happening within our society. Now, I am more aware of what looks natural and what is distorted. Automatically my mind does not trust what my eyes are seeing especially when I see an advertisement that's trying to make me feel like I'm inadequate.

I really like the way the model is still while everything around her is in full operation. The message it was trying to portray was met and in a short amount of time. Essentially some of us earth dwellers live in a face-paced society and this met our ADHD time limit. Our attention span is twindling.
