The Chicken

My apologies for the ugly compression.

Course: Fiction & Allegory
Quarter: Spring 2006
Editing: Final Cut Pro
Professor: Isaac Artenstein
Actors: My family

The assignment was to tell a story without any dialogue.
I am not really satisfied with the lighting and some shot angles.
Also this does not seem to have a resolution and some scenes may confuse the viewers.

I will not type out what my intentions were for this project because it didn't really go well as I planned.

I am just telling myself that I made a mediocre home video with my family members and it turned out alright.

Either way I made many of my classmates laugh and they were surprised at my dog's acting skills.

I want to make more random videos with my family to cherish our weirdness.

awesome job ~!

[RemiFebruary]

Thank you~!

[zenhill]

oh shitsure shimashita, a girl not a boy- Lucky, please give little lucky a pat from me. I look forward to more of your home videos. This whole movie made perfect sense to me. The only part I wasnt sure about was when your (sister?) was at the window, smoking I think?

[RemiFebruary]

Yes, my sister was at the window. That shot was a little ambiguous.

I want to re-shoot and re-edit some parts, but perhaps I will just use other actors and write a better script for it.

LOL that dog is great! He deserves an emmy award! Love that part. I really really really like this. I like it because I can completely relate to it with my wife being Japanese and all. :)) And the food thing!! She watches me very carefully when I first start eating, I have to be careful. :)) This video answered so many questions, why your english is perfect, your japanese is perfect and your imitation of a japanese english speaker is so perfect. すきり！すきり！　LOL

[RemiFebruary]

Lucky is a girl desu!

During the summer I hope to video record more random home videos that makes no sense. Otanoshimini~!

[Galbally]

Very very cool. Do more...

[jeishun]

Omg your dog was so cute!! :)

[erniesbudolab]

Your work is new to me. But this vignette was nothing short of genius.  Yokudekimashita!

[MrRay47]

Wow, 5 stars for sure. I didn't appreciate your corgi until I saw this. She's quite an actor, guess performance art skills run in your family.

[fierojeff]

yep yep.

[zenhill]

ahh, you are a perfectionist :) Personally I like this one the way it is. I hope you don't take it down and replace it. Also using your real family is great. I reckon.
