MOI P1 Day 03

Today is a combined class. Alfie cleared some misunderstandings and reinforced on what we are supposed to do. We were shown various video excerpts.
As usual, from the start of my poly life, whenever something which is not mainstream is shown, or anything that some ppl have not seen before, or something that is old, or not to their liking, think it is stupid and pointless. When i say it's not crap, i will try to explain but most of them will still think it's crap. I not quite sure how to explain also, my bad. Although some do not like it they keep quiet. i appreciate that. But come on man. We are in MOI, and what alot of us are lacking in is exposure. We don't need 100 new Michael Bays every year to make 100 new Michael Bay movies every few years, and have Michael Bay videos everywhere in YouTube. I am not saying Michael Bay is not good, but he can be considered to be an icon for more modern styled movies. What they do not understand or want to understand is that many of the movies nowadays have many traces of the old movies. And some of the media shown to us is so well-known that it is really a shame for a designer studying in a video/animation course not to know about. COME ON. It's already MOI PROJECT ONE. A movie that you do not know or do not like does not mean it's crappy. There's a difference between "you think/I think it's lousy and It's lousy". look, i don't like some of the stuff too, but there are definitely things to be learnt too. And i remembered one of the lecturers saying sth like if you just want to hold camera shoot/technical technical, then no use coming to poly. Quite true. I am not referring to anyone specifically here, and i mean no offense. I am saying these to my friends for their own good...please learn to appreciate.
Sorry for being such a whiner, really really sorry. it has been great working with you guys. Really. Sincerely.
We were shown the making of lord of the rings, iron man animated movie, monsters inc, fog of war, shoot em up, hostage, some mount everest thingy, and maybe some others which i had forgotten. quite inspiring.
i hope that none of you who read my blog are offended by this post.
