This is one of Scorsese’s first films. He shot it while he was at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1963 on 16mm film.

Martin’s come a long way.

Rule #009 (a satire)

Penguin May 19th, 2008

rule-009-a-satire

Made this video for my church. We wanted to take a different approach to the traditional drab and fascist institution of rules. So we took the rule book and took a satirical look at each one. Some of the best ones were nixed. Rather than fighting over them, we did what we could. Hopefully I’ll be able to post the cut scenes.

I ended up going with the black and white so the FAIL and the text would stand out more. I also liked the kind of old look to it. That, and I was too lazy to do any real color correcting.

Rule #9: Color or Black & White

Penguin May 17th, 2008

rule-9-color-or-black-white

In an effort to show more my process. Here is a side by side comparison of my current project: Rule #9

I kind of like the black and white to give it a more “instructional” feel. The other part is not wanting to have to go through and really color correct the footage. I would still have to adjust levels, but that’s it.

What do you think?
