Final Movie

The journey from start to finish on this video was exhausting... I spent about 4 or 5 hours just trying to find a computer that would function... oye. Once I started to play, though, I found that the idea for the movie came easily. I had the original idea to combine two movie trailers ("Swing Vote" and "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King"), and to have a theme cautioning against power driving it. The end result was exactly what I was looking for, audio and all-- the beginning was humorous and intense, followed with a dramatic ending.

The font I used was actually found online-- it is called Hobbiton something-or-other: perfect for this piece. The transitions were used to make the viewer feel disoriented in the state of chaos created by power: not only in a fantastical world where evil reigns, but in the more subtle world of reality in which elections are thrown out of proportion. Even though the individual citizen does have power-- and like the character, maybe too much power-- the manipulation of elections by the media and political parties can often leave anyone feeling disenchanted with the distribution of power that is necessary in every society. Anyhow, it was intense but fun to create!
