No, this isn't a post on the supposed Life of Pi 3-D movie that's coming out next year (God, what a terrible idea. . . . I hope it doesn't go through), but my own "Life of Pi" movie. This is a video that we made for our English class (that just aired today - I neglected to put it on YouTube until it had its premiere). It's not really an adaptation or filmed version of the book, but just a movie relating to the book. There are lines and scenes from the book, but not in chronological order, and a lot of it is my own writing, based on the themes of the book (the images also directly relate to passages, metaphors, themes of the book). So, don't watch thinking this is a "Life of Pi" movie based on the book, but a semi-original, reimagined, movie about, relating to, and summarizing the "Life of Pi."
Also, ignore the background of my house (and the crummy B-roll footage I got from YouTube). Clearly, we didn't really film in the ocean and I'm not good enough to matte it out convincingly, so just focus on the story (and really focus, cuz I'm proud of this one and think it's one of my better ones).
Hope you enjoy. Here's the movie:
That was EXCELLENT! I was pretty bummed when I found out your class got to do that and not ours. Would you like it on facebook? Haha
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm not sure if Douglas put it on facebook or not, but I've had people already come up to me and say they've seen all my videos on YouTube, so I guess that's good. They also seemed really angry though, so maybe it's not too good. . . .

Haha. Yeah, Douggy posted all of your videos separately, and I just posted the link to your youtube page. Furey "liked" it and abby and juliet commented saying they were having serious Mr. B. flashbacks. People were most pleased with the Laura video... surprise!! Not.
ReplyDeleteShame, shame.
