Film manipulation
The manipulation process for project 1 was very awesome and fun, and something that I had never done before. I was lucky enough to have had the chance in life to use film cameras at an early age but not the type used in film production. Being in the day and age, everything that can be digital is or is in the process of becoming digitized, so not many of us get the chance to manually manipulate footage by hand. When I first started this class, I was apprehensive because this might not carry over into my future carrer goals and plans, but I am changing that outlook. It was the best to see the film projected. Digital media is so instant and not always appreciated, so being able to see my hard work in action so far off from when i worked on it is a great feeling. To anyone who is reading this that is deciding whether to take 6x1... please take it, its a great class.

Response to R3:
Crowdsourcing is something that I have known about for a long time, but not really all at the same time. Of course I have heard of wikipedia, as well as famous projects such as Star Wars Uncut, but i was not aware of the idea of crowdsourcing for a project and the term. Wikipedia is a great resouce, not for school essays or some topics where a real jerk changes the info, but for a quick look up and researching for personal projects, it is wonderful. There are pros and cons to this way of working. Pros include getting a cool and different look, having more work spread out among more people, and community between conspirators and collaborators. Cons include mistakes in information, length of time to complete project and poor time management. I look forward to completing the crowd sourcing project in class.

Response to R2:
What I enjoyed about the viewings and readings in R2 was how passionate the people were when dealing with sound. For them and us in the 6X1 class, there are so many ways to record, experience, use sound in works. George Lucas put it best, "Sound is half of the experience." Sounds are not just noise, but they have an acoustic energy that is special. psyops especially was interesting because it is an energy that is different from what I was thinking, but it makes sense. I know that sometimes when there is a lot of noise around it makes me lose concentration and I need quiet.
