I built the wishing device!
.
Footage shot. In the editing phase now.
.
Completed and unfinished sections of the film:
√ 1. Beginning: a chat on the hill about what we would do on the last day of the world (1’08 min)
.
2. A video explaining “What happens to Earth after an asteroid impact.”
Video is turned off suddenly.
I break down.
- Option 1: the record of my real breakdown triggered by a documentary about the pandemic
- Option 2: the faked ones I shot
.
√ 3. Introduce my idea of making a wish to the asteroid. (2’31 min)
I become excited and explain the idea of wishing to an asteroid.
I talk about how and when to wish,
and introduce the idea of making a wearable device.
.
√ 4. Test the prototype and tie knots. (1’30 min)
(Tying knots) Making Chinese knots in middle school craft class was my nightmare.
So hard to get it right.
(Hang up the string and pointing at teh knots) Zaojing knot. Double connection knot.
Hope this helps the wish come true.
。
5. Montage of buildings and tyings with news reports. Time flies. (My next priority for cutting.)
1) building
.
2) tying knots
- more technical vibe? more scenes of the orbits of the asteroid/more analyses??
- code testing with the real device
- beads glowing in dark
.
√ 6. Ending part (4’19 min)
- Strong wind and heavy snow
- A relatively bright sky
.
- a long monologue to the camera. Some last words.
- go up the hill
- when the sound rises, make the wish
Electric part works, but worse light condition and no wind.
I prefer the one with wind. (Option: post produce the LED effects in AE)
.
.
Extra: Also took photos (excluded from the film)
.
Already 9’30 min. Aim to edit the whole film down to 15min.
