6 x 1, i believe, was one of the only courses i've had in college that i looked forward to every single time we had class. The first assignment was awesome! I fell in love with direct film manipulation immediately, and I strongly believe that every student in our major needs to have the opportunity to work with actual physical film, in such a creative way. On a side note: i think you should definitely keep the blogs, for me it has been thought provoking and a lot of fun. The fact that we don't get graded on grammar is a great way to motivate people to write. I think it would be cool if there was a beginner level workshop in after effects and or final cut, during the rapid editing project. Some of the examples Andre showd in glass this semester had some really cool filters/ effects, and I remember wishing I had the motivation to try to learn how to do these manipulations on my own. So i was thinking it would be cool to have around an hour or two session showing how to set up a composition, import footage, and apply a few simple effects. In Final Cut, for example, students could learn (or review) how to super impose, tint, split screen, etc. It was great working with both the super 8 and 16 mm cameras. Andre talked about the possibility of doing some "in camera editing" while working with the bolox, that method would be interesting to add to the workshop. The super 8 multi plane animation project was really great, wouldn't change anything about it. The 48 hour video race was also great! The only thing I could think of adding might be a short "field trip" to the library for a demonstration of the different (non obvious) ways in which one could use copy machines and scanners to create motion. The culture jam assignment was a good way to end the semester. Just when one's patience is almost non existent (close to finals), you get to spend time creating something, that for me felt anti-establishment; you get to take a vacation (from fact memorization, or even linear story line) and put your effort into creating whatever message you want, using whatever footage you desire. Along with the rest of the class, this project was almost therapeutic for me. I sincerely hope that film students at other schools are lucky enough to experience a course like this one.
