James Franco's Oscars of apathy

A little late, but I just came across this article. Pretty funny and probably true… but I still adore James Franco.

I want to be at the beach right now instead of this bitingly chilly weather. “Feels like” 4 degrees? No, thank you.

I found these pictures in a folder of scans on my computer at home. Me and my mom, then Hayley and my mom. The dates on the pictures show we’re each 2 years old in the pictures. Too weird!

Typography II project. We did a ten minute timed writing based on one of three quotes and then chose some words/phrases from the writing to do this typographic exercise. Variables: Typefaces (limited selection and only one family for the final product), weight, size, placement, black and white So, here it is!

This combination of colors always catches my eye. Hmm…

This is a reverse storyboard of Disney’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. I did it for my multimedia class as a sort of intro to motion graphics. We were allowed to pick a scene from a movie of our own choosing. So, I walked to Second Time Around (a used DVD/CD/Videogame, etc. store on Brown Street) and picked two to choose from: Clue and, obviously, Alice in Wonderland. I chose the latter because I thought illustrating an already illustrated movie would produce better results. Not sure if this is true, but whatever. The scene had to include at least 17 camera changes (I believe mine had ~24). Then, the fun began. Play, pause, draw play, pause, draw, on and on and on. The sketches were to be fairly rough, with enough information to at least be able to distinguish between characters, foreground, middle ground, background, etc. We were also told to include arrows to help the viewer understand how the camera and characters were moving. Probably have to click the High-Res link to see any detail. And then you’ll probably have to zoom even more. So, I think it will take a very long time for me not to have Alice and the White Rabbit’s lines running through my head… Some that are especially engrained in my mind: “It must be something awfully important, like a party or something!” (Alice to Dinah) “No, no, no, no, no, no, no- this cannot do! I’m really in a stew!” (Rabbit) “Curiousity often leads to TRO-UB-LE!!!” (Alice as she falls down the hole) and I cannot forget Dinah’s insistent “MEOOOW!”s.   Anyway. Love this movie. Maybe I’ll turn this into an animatic someday. We’ll see.
