Macbeth Video - Colin and David

​Rationale


For the Macbeth creative, Colin and I decided to do a stop motion scene rendition of Scene 2, act 1. At least, we decided to attempt to create a stop motion. We chose this idea by eliminating the other options. A playbill and a program would be too easy, we thought. And, we could not come with another idea for the “Other” choice. We were arguing about whether to do a board game or the video scene depiction. I wanted to do the board game, because I did not want to act. Colin wanted to do the video scene depiction because he thought the board game would be too hard. We went with the video scene depiction and I guess we compromised because I did not have to act and Colin got to do his video scene depiction. At first, we thought that actually acting it out would be what we were going to do. But no. That would be too boring. We then brainstormed other ideas. We eventually decide to do a stop motion for the video scene. We then had to decide what scene to remake. We talked a lot about this and finally came up with the idea to do Act 2, Scene 1. We thought that scene would be really cool to remake because of the very vague description that Shakespeare gave us about the scene. We knew we could make it any way we wanted to. Picture one a a screenshot of what our ideas page looked like. We decided to make the set of of legos, maybe make it look cool. But then changed our minds when we realized that that would take too long. We also thought that clay characters would be great, but again, that would take too much time.  We thought of a lot of ideas to do this. For example, we brainstormed about where the scene would take place, where the people would walk, and how we would make that possible. We did all this brainstorming because we wanted to be sure about everything before we started to build the sets and take pictures. A lot of them we changed after we started doing the actual take of pictures. We decided that I would make the set, Colin would make the characters, and that we would work together to edit the pictures together. After we started taking pictures, I was getting worried about how we were going to able to go this. We started filming pretty late and only at lunch. I took most of the pictures while Colin was on WeVideo putting all of the stuff together into one, beautiful film. I was really worried that it would not be done in time and that we would miss something. Me being the control freak that I am was really worried. But I just had to let go and let Colin work the magic. I really hope it comes out okay and that you guys like it. We put in a lot of work!
