Farewell!

The Demise of An Innocent Woman

This is a movie I made a while back, in the Spring of 2012, but I've only just finished it recently. Enjoy!

It's quite different from most projects I work on - almost no comedy at all.
Music is all my own, it is not the original score. That's what was taking me a while.

Short Film: How To See At Sea

Caution: Lo Res

A 5 min. 30 sec. video I helped to produce for a friend of mine (BioMed Engineer) for a class he's taking. It's all about the process by which images are processed by the eye and sent via the optic nerve to the visual cortex in the brain.

Fresh Scent

I'm not sure why I didn't post this earlier, but I made this awesome short 30 second spot for a class of mine I'm taking, Short Commercial Form. Enjoy!

Making Apple Muffins

On Sunday we began the process, juicing 6 apples an a chunk of ginger root, making some delicious fresh juice, which we drank. The cellulose waste that is created by the apple juice (and ginger) was actually a great opportunity. We looked up a recipe, and turned that waste into some delicious opportunity.

I went for a 7 mile walk on Sunday. Alright, I didn't manage to finish the walk, but that's primarily because I tend to have a lot on my plate at one time, and this Sunday was even more than typical. Way more than typical. The previous night I had run nearly five miles (see my account of the run by clicking here), and later that day I was set to learn with my friend Levi in Crown Heights. So I had to cheat a little and take the subway back to the Village and grab lunch before heading out to Crown Heights. In addition to that, I also stayed up studying for my final in Classical Mythology on Tuesday (I did pretty darn well, if I do say so myself, though the proof will be in the scores, and I won't know for a couple weeks yet).

Anyway, you've let me go on for far too long. Without any more ado, please enjoy Stern It Update #003.

Short Film: A Vegetable Horror Movie

The second movie I made for my Short Commercial Form class in my Junior year at NYU.

In this project, the aim was to make the audience feel sympathy for an inanimate object. Now, I cheated a little bit by animating the character, but I think I did just fine.

In the movie, a cook (my girlfriend, Anna) is making soup. She cuts up various vegetables, one by one, and then drops them into the pot of boiling water. The last in line is the dill, who is quite literally quivering with fear.

Enjoy!
