Intentional Fallacy

We finished our MATX 604 group project today! The film is called Intentional Fallacy. It's a stop-action film made from over 2500 digital stills and hand-drawn graphics. The graphics were manipulated in Photoshop and the video was edited using Adobe Premiere Pro.

My group consisted of Jenn Figg, Jennifer Smith, Sean Stewart and Melinda White. Sean, Jennifer and Melinda came up with the brilliant story idea, and handled the producing and directing of the shoots. Jenn Figg and I did a lot of the photography (Sean and Jennifer shot a bit too). Jenn created the drawings and Sean mastered all the Photoshop post-production. I punched the keys and did the physical editing, but we all conspired on the content and final product. Patrick Scott Vickers scored the piece with original music and it's perfect! We hired actors by hosting a casting call in the InSight studio and began production a week later. We had 4 shooting days and many days of post-production. We shot all around Richmond...the Canal Walk, Maymont, Franklin Street, Cafe Gutenberg, The Civil War Ironworks, the mural outside of Kuba Kuba and the Main Street train station. Richmond is VERY photogenic!

I am REALLY proud of this little film! So much so that I already created a WithoutABox account, posted the video to YouTube and we're entering it into a bunch of film festivals! Congratulations and big thank you's to my group for being so awesome.

Here's the video (crappy, compressed version, but hey, it's online!)
