The True List pt. II

by tomskowronski | July 29th, 2009

blogpic2Hello everybody. The best looking blogger in history is back with yup, another list! Why? Because of how important my opinion is that’s why. Because if everyone on earth can Tweet about “when they go to sleep, when they wake up & what they are having to breakfast and when they are driving to work…” Then I too, can claim that I am SO important that people MUST know what my thoughts are, concerning EVERYTHING. So let us get to it, shall we?

This time we are going to be looking at what I think are the Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Made. Yesterday, we looked at the best and today we will switch gears and talk about the ugliest. Feel free to challenge my list by the way, chances are you are wrong… And I will tell you why.

5.) Twilight - horrible example of mainstream trash stuffed down the throats of a very young, gullible female demographic. Movies this insulting and blatant are one level above propaganda in their efforts to rally an audience. Very bad editing with multiple mistakes.

4.) LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE- did you read the title?

3.) Troll 2 - generally regarded as the worst modern film ever made. The plot you ask? Well it’s a sequel.

2.) Eegah! - about a giant caveman discovered by a teenage girl, who is then kidnapped by him, who then falls in love with him, who then runs from him, who then….. never mind.

1.) Laserblast - tops my list. Without question. The editing is so bad here I have used this as an example of what not to do for lectures before. Awful lighting, dialog, camera work and oh yeah, acting. Plot centers around a man who finds a laser. Yup. Then his woes with a teenage girl, since he is apparently in high school… even though he looks 35.

And has a laser.

it’s Time to Study!

cohdra_100_3868I’ve often been asked what my opinion is on the best material to look at critically when learning about video. So I thought that I’d pose the question to all of you out there & see what you guys think? For myself, the best possible video to learn from are commercials. They are direct, tell the story in a very short amount of time and are the best example of the “shoot to edit” technique. Of course thats just my opinion, but commercials are out there to capture every type of audience. So there are many different types of ads that are done in so many different ways that it’s impossible not to find the answers to at least some of your video questions by watching them critically.  What do you guys think? What has helped you learn the most about video?
