This blog contains weekly journal entries for glover's film history class at Champlain College in Burlington VT. The plain template is in effect because it does not crop the youtube imbeds. Students are expected to post a minimum of 1 response a week, plus 1 comment on a peer post. Feel free to add relevant imbeds or links, or to use the blog for related off-topic threads, or to post your presentations for use in class, or viewing after.

Jack, well prepared and delivered presentation. The Bloody Omaha was a great example of the state of the art of video compositing. I think everyone appreciated the examples and discussion, and it piggybacked nicely on the discussion of Reid's greenscreen presentation, but took it even further with new info, insight and illustrations. Can you post links, images, or even notes or quotes from your research here?
thanks

The clip you showed was pretty comical. At first, I thought it was actually how they formed the scene and I was always under the impression that was the most elaborate scene ever done. It soon dawned on me that it was just a spoof becuase that really was one of the most elaborate scenes. I'm always a dupe for the good ole smoke and mirrors so it was a cool way to look at cinema. I wonder why you did not incorporate milles though as he was a magician making films. I appreciate that you used material we did not go over in class though.
The Bloody Omaha scene really inspired me and gave me hope that I could make an epic movie with little resources. It was great to see that a small film crew could create an epic war scene in a short amount of time. The presentation wasn't only informative, but inspiring as well.
Jack, as stated by all, I really enjoyed the Bloody Omaha sequence. It really resonated with me, and I can't really say anything else about it without repeating what others have already said. In terms of information conveyed to the class, I think you did just the right amount, and the way that it was presented to us worked very nicely with the green-screen stuff that Reid did. I don't know, I just sound like a broken record now, but I really feel that you brought some valuable information to the table, thank you.
