This class has been great help to me i learned more about film making and other media than i did in FLM101. It provided me with the hands on experience that i need to advance my skills in film making process. Although the equipments we used weren't as up to date as i would have liked, but nevertheless i worked around it to do the projects that were assigned. If anything i would like to have the lab part of the class extended to  two hours, that will allow the students enough time to work on their projects in class.

A Day at the Museum of the Moving Image

    

          An evening at the Museum of the Moving Image, a fascinating place filled with fun and knowledgeable exhibits. So far I have only read and heard about all the past Film making techniques and cinema’s infant history. Seeing that early history in front of my eyes was an experience of its own. although, there weren’t as many exhibits as I had expected, rather, I found it to be very small contribution to the vast history of cinema. Nevertheless, I had great experience walking though all three floors with props and actual pieces of films set, makeup, drawings, costumes, etc on display.  One of my favorite exhibits at the museum was the Director's live broadcast room of sports game. As I am more interesting in learning about Directing and cinematography, it was interesting to see what goes into broadcasting a live game for millions to watch. One wrong move on Directors' end, and it can lead to millions of people being upset for missing a big play. While it is very engaging job, it does come with a lot of pressure as everything is happening live, the director has to hit the nail every time. Another exhibit i found fun to play with was the stop-motion animation. I spent good amount of time on stop-motion animation, where I made at least 10 different animations videos, since you’re only allowed to make 10 seconds of video. Over all it was a wonderful short experience, I think for being the only museum about cinema in New York City, it should house more exhibitions from actual film sets and TV Shows. This seemed like a small contribution to what is universally recognized as great modern art.

Artist Statement

As a young media maker in the capital of the world, New York, I observe, feel, interact and learn on a daily basis. I’m mostly interested in capturing the performance art in its most natural and realistic form with still photography and video camera. This helps relate to my own perception of the world around me based on my cultural values and understanding.  I search for the things that matter, something that strikes me not just for its artistic aesthetic but its relatedness to the world it is enveloped in. It could be anything from graffiti on subway tracks, to murals or sculptor from million years ago.  I strive to bring the one-dimensional art to its most realistic form of existence and in presentation highlight it’s significant to its immediate surrounding and the issues that consume our lives.

I’m mostly interested in performing art because it presents itself with rhythm, order, and scheme. With performing art there is greater deal of depth to the subject it highlights. What really fascinates me is the fact that there is no one-way to present that one particular subject. It holds my strongest interest because it is how I want everything to be, in order, with ideas collected to make one grand performance.  
I have a lot to learn and even a lot more to gain, but ones it travels through my brain and into my vain, the ideas will float out of me like a rain.
