trivialities

[HddtSmz]

It's obvious from the WS that she's chopping the carrots, and the CU of her hand doesn't reveal any "interesting action" that he claims is taking place, thus I consider the CU meaningless and boring. The boredom is caused by writing of this scene where the action of chopping carrots doesn't reveal anything other than the action of chopping the carrots. What if she's crying? What if there's already a mountain of chopped carrots beside the chopping board?

[DerKaiii]

i would do that, too. Am I a talent ? :D

[leonquago]

Sorry but it annoys me when video/movie would focus into some chopping carrots or other things not connected to what I expect to see. That's why old movies of actresses holding onto flowers and looking at the moon annoys me. I'd like to see only relevant matters.

[UnderDog988]

@leonquago Yeah, if they want to teach us on how to make movie they should pick a subject that lets your imagination run wide. Not something basic and stupid like cut carrot or going to a resturant, that just to cheesy and exactly like they do it at school.

[carapar114]

@UnderDog988 irs just an example, the imaginative movies are suposed to be from us

[UnderDog988]

@carapar114 um you missed the whole point... Am saying that they should use appropriate examples... And show how they relates to the story, wat there showing is just the basics of story telling and we o ready know all of this anyways. But to have REAL good examples on how to start off would help people alot more then this crap.

[carapar114]

@UnderDog988 oh, well maybe the people doing this tutorual are not really imaginative or have limited resources at the moment

[UnderDog988]

@carapar114 maybe but then why make a video.

[brownjovi]

um, sorry to have to tell you, but, um...the REAL action is that beautiful woman's well...it's not that carrots anyway...but thank you very much for this vid. very well done. you, sir are indeed awesome....rock on...
