Commercial Videos

I liked the majority of my classmate´s videos, they were all very unique and entertaining.  One of my favorite videos was Marifer's. I liked it because it all blend perfectly: the song, the theme, the way the video was made and presented, and most of al...the dog, it was just so adorable. I liked that she used several tools, such as the music, the written part, the colors, how fluid the video was, etc. It was definitely my favorite. One that I didn't love was Ari's video. The point of making a commercial was to film it ourselves, she only copied videos and added a couple of words and music. It was pretty cool, but that wasn't the assingment. Personally I didn't loved my video. I liked the concept and how I filmed it, but if I could change it I would add some music and words. The problem was that I didnt remember how to do that. But I think it is pretty funny, which was my original goal. 

Sixth Sense Technology

My reaction to this new emerging technology was of surprise. I was extremely impressed while watching the video. I couldn't believe this was even possible to do. This guy is a genius, what he just did will change the future for sure. Personally I would like to buy one, for its very practical and useful. I can make anything with this device, from taking pictures, copying text or images, passing documents to another computer, watching movies, games, etc.

The greatest things of this device is the fact that it takes pictures and that you can copy images and and text from books and pass it to you "portable computer". Overall it gives you so many useful things, its just perfect. Like being able to check your flight, checking the time in your hand, check the climate, etc. In reality this haves no limitations, the only problem may be that people could become extremely obsessed and dependent to it. 

I believe open source is making the device open to public, making it accessible to everyone. The pros of sharing the software is that we will all have the opportunity to use the advantages this machine offers. The cons would be that as all innovating devices, people become obsessed and extremely dependent to it. 

Commercials

I really liked the commercials posted at moodle. My favorite ones were the mercedes, berlitz, and the safety one, for they are all hilarious. Thats why they stick out in my mind because they made me laugh. One of my favorite T.V commercials promotes a salmon brand, and its extremely comical and i cant help laughing every time I see it.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaRRMbPwdwc 

The element Im going to use on my toothpaste commercial is comedy. Everyone loves a funny commercial. The challenge Im going to face is to actually make my commercial funny. It may seem funny to me but the goal here is that everybody else also thinks is funny. Hopefully I will be able to achieve it.
