The World According to Graduate Students

Graduate Students' perception of the world. Plans, paranoia, and simple pleasures.
Yes, the quality of the shaky cam was rather intentional.
Indeed, we do have a tripod. And a mike.
This is just a sample.
Ideally we would approach the film school, get a better director, equipment, and hit the music school for better sound track...all in one campus.

terrible camera work

@salemthegreencat So is the sea of dashed hopes!

Thank you for posting it :)

I think this is great! The complainers miss the point, that the bad audio and camera work is done for effect. Nicely, very artistic.

@jcpelly Actually, it was all composited from a still photograph. First, they totally threw off the color curves in Photoshop to emulate a video camera that isn't properly white-balanced. Then they dropped it in AfterEffects, designated it as a 3D layer, and created a simulated camera to give the illusion of tilts, pans, zooms, weird canted angles, and shaky handheld camera work. After that, they dropped it in Final Cut Pro for the final touches: adding some awful jump cuts for added realism.
