The Fourth Project

 Original: http://www.ubu.com/film/lenteng_5seconds.html

Artist's Statement: This project had a lot of bad luck for me. After I got back from Spring Break, I found that the pictures I originally took for this picture became corrupted. After taking several hours to find a way to fix it, I finally found a program that had a fair shot at recovering the files. Unfortunately, even though several of my files were restored, none of the ones I needed for the project were recoverable. In the end, I wound up having to take them all again, somewhat at the last minute. That's why all of these pictures were shot in the night time. However it wasn't all for naught.  I did learn quite a bit about Final Cut in this project-- it's my first time using FCP. Although my project differs from the original by using still shots, I believe it creates more interest my way. That, and the addition of music. However, I believe that my project still remains true to the original by retaining much of it's simplicity, with little edits, and with the central themes and concept.
