Okay, I just found out one of the Sites I like is actually a Blog in disguise.
http://docfilmes.com
I was looking for personal websites, and I found out that I usually go to people's blogs rather than to websites.
And most of the personal sites I know are from my friends. That's already a drawback in my intention to have a personal website, people would have to already know me ... so I decided I am going to make a website for www.refinariafilmes.com.br (I am not going to use this address); Refinaria is a small production company that me and two friends have in Brazil. We opened that for bureaucratic reasons, to facilitate our free lancer's lives, but we plan to make it happen someday. Meanwhile I am living in NY, Carolina in Lisboa (Lisbon) and Monica in Paris.
Refinaria is still in Rio.
Here are the sites I have chosen: www.iritbatsry.com; www.docfilmes.com; www.andrevieira.com

it is fun just to play in the main page
I did it, but I cannot upload because it's more thant 50 MB.
I feel terrible, the worst work I've done in a long time, it is awful...
I don't like...but yes the cat is bouncing.
YES the cat bounces...
see you tomorrow...
I have many organized pics in my computer and also a folder where I put all the mess, I went to dig in this folder and found the background and the alice's chat images...so... now I believe that I am going to look for the cat's text in Alice in the Wonderland... might be fun.
I don't know why the tween/making it motion tween didn't work! I am going to try again..
I like the film. Cristina likes it. Some friends do. Some friends do not.
As I was watching the movie again I was thinking how could I cut it more? Because I feel it is a bit too long. At the same time if I cut, how to keep talking about stillness or duration? I also perceived I use a lot of zoom in and zoom out, and maybe the film could have another dynamic if I didn’t use that resource so much. When I cut I wait until the zoom is done and it takes time…
Another aspect I would like to work on is the sound; I am not satisfied with it at all. But I do not know if music would resolve it.
As contradictory as it may seem I love this piece the way it is.
I enjoyed illuminating the scene where she cuts her hair. It was my first experience with lighting and of course I didn’t have to put a light – we had enough luminosity outdoors–but I wanted to try, to experiment, to use the information we got during class. And I am happy with the outcome: it doesn’t have huge ugly shadows and I think the colors were intensified by it.
I also loved copying (the sadistic) “12 frame rule” from Lars von Trier film, it was fun and I found it beautiful. I keep wondering why nobody (esp. my friends) asked why I chose that… My answer would be: I do not know, I just loved copying it and I liked the result.
I think, for now, this film is complete.
I want to try to separate the tree moments as we discussed in class. Especially I would like to undo the “flashback session”. I really wanted to see it in three different monitors, but of course I am afraid to see if this film resists in an environment different from the one we have in class.
