thesis idea

Hey guys! So for my senior thesis I really wanted to do something with motion and I've always enjoyed stop motion films. I mean lets face it, they're wicked awesome. SO! I am creating a stop motion piece!

My plot/idea is essentially to create a modernized Indiana Jones. I will shoot in the city. My Indiana will be played by my brother, and he will dress as what we Emmanuel kids call a "hipster" which is basically half of EC anyway, so we can relate. I will recreate the most famous moments from the Indiana Jones movies and put them together into one plot. I am urbanizing everything about the movies as well as putting a contemporary twist on the whole piece itself. This will give me a chance to really use my camera to its abilities as well as timing, and the motion editing process. I am really excited to get going on this, I will be storyboarding for half the semester, and my first shoot date is February 19th-20th. I will re-shoot as much as I need to, especially because of this DAM SNOW! Seriously, we get it, we live in New England but I'm ready to see the streets again.

ANYWAYS! I wish everyone the best of luck with these first beginning stages!
