Another Month, Another Trip

The trip this week was fun and again it was different from the last. I love that we can travel a few miles and have something incredibly new to do each time. I find the city so enriching and when I get older I will definitely take advantage of the fact that we live so close. And furthermore, if I do end up living there I will make it a point to get out and go all over the 5 boroughs.

We first went to the Neue Gallery and saw Messerschmitt and Klimt's work. Personally I found Messerschmitt's busts very entertaining and relatable because I always find myself making really weird faces at myself in the mirror. It's amazing how he is able to get so much detail into it even though it is of himself making it impossible to really see the detail from a different angle or up close. Klimt's work was equally great and I love that this museum had only cool stuff that was consistant. Like many artists you could see the style changing and improving as time progressed with both.

The Guggenhiem was not as impressive although still had some good pieces. It was difficult to really see or understand things. Maybe it was the noise, or the inconsistancy either way nothing stood out to me too much.

Roaming the city later was once again a great feat to get to the destination. We did use the subway after walking aimlessly to find it. Also, I don't see how any other group could have walked so far without the subway. Finding a place to eat was another adventure in addition to a bathroom. Eventually we found both and were able to visit the tree and window displays.

On Commericials

So for the past two weeks we have been working on filming and editing commercial for STAC live. After Mr. Pasquier's commercial was finished I helped Sara in her idea with creating a little story of life before STAC vs life after with her drawings. It was interesting to film because the way she wanted it was so that the there would be a more primitive section of each scene and then followed by a new part with the same paper just added drawings. There were some difficulties in that it was difficult to make the paper seem in the same place as the one before it, but it adds to the look that it was made by us and was hand drawn. Editing was difficult in that I felt I didn't really understand exactly how to do everything and that the picture in one's mind of what the outcome will be is never what it actually is. Overall, it turned out good and decent especially for two newbies.
