Welcome!

First post ever! Hello everyone! Firstly welcome to Kimbo's blog! So it's advanced media integration time. It's Week 2 and honestly, I'm like 98% scared, 2% excited; or other way around? 98% excited, 2% scared? I've always been a huge fan of movies (we have around 800 DVD's now!) and film making is just interesting. I wanna be a part of doing movies one day, HOLLYWOOD baby! :)

Anyways, as I understand it, Advanced Media Integration is about incorporating a lot of film making, photography and other media stuffs and creating something extraordinary. Something that captivates the audience and something inspirational too.
I will be posting everything and anything I find incredible and worth talking about, any crossroads we may encounter and so we could all be witnesses and critiques to each other's progress and process. Jodie spoke about avoiding designing inside a vacuum which makes total sense. No matter how hard it may be to hear the comments about the little babies we design, we have to learn to take it! Toughen up gurl! :) 

Our first assignment is called "Get Up and Go". It could be anything we want, a video shoot, stop motion, animation or anything else we can think of, to portray a certain kind of routine or activities we do when we 'get up and go'. It doesn't have to be in the morning, but the concept should be there. For example, we get up, take a shower, brush our teeth, get distracted, forget keys, whatever. So that's what we gotta do. It's just a practice, probably just to see where we're at with filming, editing and typography. 

I'm thinking of doing my little sister, Shane, who's 9 years old. So it'll be showing the morning routine and attitude of a kid who wakes up to go to school. I think it's quite different compared to how an adult would wake up. An adult who wakes up to a world full of responsibilities, to work, to do chores and other stuffs :( I think the kids definitely see the world differently than we do. I'm excited to start working on it. I'm almost finished with the storyboard and I will post that up when it's done :)

Cheers!
