A 12 Frame Obstruction (100 POINTS) Due Sept. 18th
"In the story "Three Dimensions of Time," each decision the main character could have made became its own reality (Lightman 18-22). In all three dimensions, he had to choose whether or not to go see a particular woman. One of the decisions he made, in which he chose not to go see the woman again, produces more promising results than the other two decisions he makes. When he makes his decisions, he looks at the short-term goals first to see how he may or may not get along with the woman, which would lead him to foresee what their future together (long-term goal) would be like. Each time he makes a decision, he believes it is the correct path, and so he follows it and makes it a reality. Finally, he weighs the advantages of each option before choosing what may be the right path." <<<Link to Article Text is in response to Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman.
Assignment: Is to develop a short narrative that considers the story above as a narrative template for various paths one could take narratively. The Likely Thought Spent Video is a good example of what I mean there. I am also placing a constraint on your edits. Each edit can only be 12 frames in length. That means you will see at least 2 shots per second. I will demo this in class. You can see an example of that below in the Le 5 Variazioni or The Five Obstructions: Obstruction 1. You need to have at least 1min, but you may not go over 2min (titles and everything.) We are learning how to do voice overs today in class sept. 16th.
