Concept: The boundary between civilization and wilderness. how light, sound, and movement shift between the worlds.

Project 2 Prep- Olivia Hanley
I was inspired by the mystical creatures in both movies; the forest spirit in Princess Mononoke and the ohm’s in Nausicaa. I think it would be pretty interesting to take a more fictional/ fantastical take on the project. I also really enjoyed the bright colors and sunlight shown in the Solarpunk video. The Last of […]

What struck me most about Princess Moanoke was witnessing the violent disruption and destruction of a harmonious ecosystem. It’s difficult to watch and hits too close to home. Inspiration- Visit Sweden -I love the dry humor and overall tone of the video -It’s extremely well shot -It playfully pokes fun at another country while riding […]
Project 2a Exit Ticket – Joe Hill
I would like to draw some inspiration from Maine’s forests and rivers, because of the prevalence of these two things. A movie like Arrival could serve as a good idea for an emerging apocalyptic story, however it could be set in nature. Movies like The Grey and Into The Wild, which are both about lone […]

Place is central to both Princess Mononoke and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind because the landscapes are not just backdrops, but a character within the story that effects he characters, conflicts, and themes. In Princess Mononoke, the forests embody the tension between human industry and the natural world, every choice the characters make […]

Inspiration Models Fallout – Disastrous effects that can happen due to human arrogance leading to nature being forced to adapt to us To use this I will try to find locations where nature is being forced to adapt to us such as plants growing through payment. Cyberpunk – When profit becomes more important than anything […]

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind The valley is important because it is one of the only safe places for people to live. It shows how survival depends on the environment and people’s relationship with it. The Valley survives because of the strong winds that keep the toxic spores away. Princess Mononoke Standing up […]

Princess Mononoke – What struck me most was Princess Mononoke’s connection to the forest, and how there is no other motivator for her. I want to portray a strong connection to nature and environment in my project, so I hope to include elements of that. Nausicaa – One thing that stuck out to me […]

In the two trailers, they both refer to humans and the Earth and the effects humans have on each other, the inhabitants of Earth, and the Earth itself. Proposal: Displaying how worlds and lands can change from Barren to Lush forests from human influence for better or worse, Inspiration: Mad Max, Dune,
Project 2a – Zach Sanderson
Idea Brainstorming: I want to do something with fiction or fantasy because I think it would be really interesting to try to bring out mystical elements through low budget iPhone videos. My working idea at the moment is a story where someone is hiking and they’re following trail marks but they see a weird trail […]

(Princess): Nature and humans coexisting with one another and their relationship/battles (Second movie): Humans on the verge of mass extinctions vs the environment. “No more killing”. Both movies seems to be some type of battle between humans vs either nature or environment In both of the movies, the main character or characters are having some […]
Project 2 Inspiration
I think how in a lot of the videos we watched it not black and white. Showing the shades of gray that lead a lot of the decision making behind why things that could seem really good don’t happen. I’m thinking about contesting the industrialization and modernization of a lot of the Maine wilderness against […]

I want to draw inspiration from the mechanical/modern world vs the nature of Princess Momonoake. It is a very strong subject, and I think a lot can be drawn from that. For Nasecau and Princess Momonoke, I want to be able to draw on that sense of atmosphere. The ability to subtly build the world […]
Madyson Whitlock – Project 2a
How is a place important to a story? Examples: Princess Mononoke and Nausicca When it comes to both films, their environments play a heavy role in their stories. In Princess Mononoke, all the characters have some part of their home that they’re trying to protect. The creatures protect the forest, and the humans protect Iron […]
Project 1 Photo Story- Jonathan Williams
Novas Adventure This concept wasn’t particularly hard. I walk with my dog multiple times a day, and I thought it wouldn’t be hard to get good photos. However, taking a “Good” photo of a living, moving creature isn’t the same as taking a picture of the scenery. There’s a lot more timing and frustration […]

Project 1c by Sara Nulton When I look back on this project, I struggle with the right words to say what I saw and missed. There were a few moments when I saw the perfect opportunity to take a photo with my sister. And on my phone, I have about four or five […]
Project 1 Final- Deacon Waitkevitch
Here’s my story on Canva The biggest thing I missed is that I wish I had taken more photos during this trip. Things like the bus ride, hotel rooms etc would’ve helped set the scene. Also, I was using my actual camera for work, but I could’ve taken some real photos with it as well. […]

Nova’s Walking Adventure Nova is my 2-year-old Siberian Husky who is one of the weirdest, funniest, and annoying dogs I’ve ever met. I walk her daily (duh) and we go to some pretty cool spots sometimes. This is just the walk around our neighborhood, and it is an area Nova is very familiar with. […]
Project 1 final – Meghan Fay
What I Saw and What I Missed: While I was doing this assignment, I found myself stuck with developing a story and had no idea which path I wanted to go down with my photos. My original photos were of random moments on my walk that I found interesting, but they were not coherent, and […]

NMD 343 Project 1 Looking back on the development of this project, I can safely say that I’m still not very happy with it. I spent far too long trying to tweak the image filtering to look just right. Even into the final stretches of completion, I was still experimenting with the color grading, framerates, […]
