Hilton 2 Project

Story Board -

Synopsis - Various items are used to travel between different parts of the hotel, using two people as the vehicle to move the audience through the space--from one object to another. This project is meant to include the idea of being eco-friendly, convenient, and comfortable as a combination.

Pitch - How it works. In relation to how the camera will get in tighter and then come out to larger parts, the camera's zoom, as well as simply moving the camera forth and back. The subject can also move closer and further from the camera. Objects that are to dangle in the air at all can be momentarily attached to fishing line to get the affect of flight. Conceptually, it is meant to incorporate what I deem to be most important about Hilton 2 in a simple fashion.

Ideas - My inspirations are partly from some older commercials by Hilton and Hampton. The idea of moving through the space comes from the opening theme of the British TV show, Hotel Babylon.

Tokyo Story Movie Review

I think for the day, it was probably a pretty well-received movie, especially since it made it over seas from Japan at a time when the country was still getting used to being out of isolation. The movie itself I found, dragged a lot in the plot line. Scenes like extended shots of numbers in the train station or an empty door for several seconds after someone walked out of the room were almost bothersome in length and could have easily been taken out. Close-ups were sometimes odd as well, because when a woman's head was turned halfway, the close-up would be dead-on, making the lack of angle throw off the line of sight from the viewer. Overall, there was just a lot of information that didn't need to be there, and in fact made the movie drag more because it was included. It took me several tries to get through this movie. I'm glad to finally be done.

H2 - Combinations

The key in this version is to walk through the spaces, using one item that at least two spaces have in common. Emphasis is often on convenience and comfort.
