My Pringles Commercial

Commercial Adds

This commercials that we have just seen are pretty strong and have different subjects. It differs from how funny it might be to not know a language, to how tragical our new perception of beauty is. I liked this commercials because they are not attacking other products, but rather helping us to realize what is going on with our thoughts these days. From the commercials linked on Moodle I chose the Dove - True Colors commercial. I really liked it because it makes people realize about our perspective of the word beautiful, and how beautiful many things can be. Today many people think beautiful just means being pretty on the outside, but not on the inside. This commercial makes people realize that beautiful also means in the inside, and how we can all be beautiful. With this thought in mind, I think the world could be a better place.



Yesterday we heard about our new project, to make a commercial. It sounds quite fun because it's something we haven't done before. Some challenges I am expecting are the editing of the videos and the taking of them. I am still not quite sure of what my commercial would be about, but I would like to film it outside Puerto Vallarta. Right now I will start to think of what my commercial could be about. Maybe that will be my biggest challenge.

I think this anti-smoking video is really strong. Addicts are really hooked into smoking, and have a really difficult time quitting. Still, it will be even more difficult to continue smoking and then confront diseases.

One Day on Earth

My video has different themes. I started brain storming and my first thought for a theme was a day in my life. It would be really interesting but still many people would not understand it. Therefore I decided to make a day on earth, from morning to night. This new theme involves a day having fun, without stopping throughout also the night. I really enjoyed this theme because it not only describes me, but may also describe thousands of other people. At the beginning of the video I put morning images, and as the video went by I ended it with night life.

This video was a very interesting project to create. Having plenty of days to take photos and video clips, we all took advantage of those days and used them to the maximum level. One example of this would be me, this last weekend I went to Guadalajara to take video clips. Also, I went to Puerto Vallarta's down town and took lots of pictures, which are amazing. Now that I had the pictures and clips, making them into a video wasn't that hard. I used Windows Live Movie Maker, which I didn't like much. I thought I had the Windows Movie Maker, which I already had experience with. With Windows Live Movie Maker, I started at zero. They took the feature I most wanted to use, the speed of video clips. Still, I could manage out without that feature. Connecting all the pictures and video clips into one single video was not that hard. I also put different transitions to make it look better instead of just skipping from one picture to another. What was more of an osbtacle for me was to learn how to use Windows Live Movie Maker, which I think I already have under control. This video was a really awesome project we did, and I would also see myself doing another one in the future.

One Day on Earth

This trailer was just amazing and shocking. I really liked this project because they are not only to promote a company or make money, it is to make Earth a better place for us and our children. These projects are always amazing because it also makes people think twice about life and to realize all the damage we are actually making, not only to planet Earth, but also to us. I think the message, not that hidden, in these two videos are for us to appreciate what life really means and for us to take care of it.
All the clips and images have a certain meaning, it depends on us if we actually want to figure it out or not. For example, little kids having fun somewhere in India where poverty has always been really high. If we think about it, it doesn't matter where we are or what we are passing through, it is actually our choice to suffer for something. When someone who is closely related to us passes away, it will obviously affect us. Still, we have to think about it and to learn not to suffer about someone leaving, but to think that they will be in a better place. What makes these clips and images so powerful is our own mind and how we react to different point of views. In life we have to accept other people's opinions and not get mad about them. That is how people could actually live in peace.

How much fuel do I use?

Every year I use a total of 1,888.56 L of fuel to come to school an back to my house. That is a lot because imagine, every time your fuel is over and you have to go to the gas station, you normally fill 40 L of fuel. Still, it uses around 1 thousand liters less than my dream car, which is a big amout of fuel and money. That would also have a good saving system, using less fuel. The image above is my dream car, a Lamborghini Murcielago. Even though is uses a lot of fuel and I am aware or environmental problems, that car is just amazing. Maybe I should also look for cool cars that use less fuel, but later on.

2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500 - 1888.56 L

Lamborghini Murcielago - 2723.28 L

Honda Civic Hybrid - 615.61 L

Toyota Corolla - 939.06 L

Google Earth Tours

Since last week we have been working with Google Earth, and today we saw other people's tours. The first tour I saw was Jorge's and it was pretty awesome. Something I liked a lot was that he visited famous places like the Taj Majal and the Colleseum. What I didn't like was that many places were still pretty pixelized so you could not distinguish much, other than that it was cool. The next tour I saw was Ximena's, which wasn't that good because she wasn't able to open her original file. What I was able to see was all pixelized so I didn't get to enjoy her real tour. The last tour I saw was Debora's, and it was amazing because she really put effort into it and the places she visited were really beautiful, like for a REAL vacation I would love to go to. What I didn't like is that she stayed in one place too long so it took time, but it was still amazing. My tour was also cool from my point of view because I visited cool places like the Eiffel Tour and the Roman Colleseum, and also places I miss like Mexico City. What I just realized is that the pixelized parts is because of the slow internet connection we have at school. Something I would change is the places I would go to, to be able to visit different places.

Joy

What I have just done is remodel my Blogger Profile. As you can see, it is now more colorful and nice. It has this psychedelic background that really matches my likes. For example, you can see that they are like techno/eletronic lights, which are just awesome. Another thing I also like about my new Blog is that its got this invisible text box so you can still see the background while reading. Still, as time will go by we will have to post more and more posts (no really, post posts :P). Let's just say we will have to let this be handled by time. Remodeling this blog was pretty easy because I just deleted what I didn't need like the fish tank. Even though it was cool, it was just a waste of space and something not useful. For example, in life you will also have to deal to similar things. Not get rid of your fish but of the non important people or items in your life. Something I also just did was eat a chocolate chip cookie.

Something I would just love to do for me is to get a life. Not in the way that I don't have one and I'm emo, no. I just want to grow up and get rid of all my current problems. Still, for that I have to wait some couple years. So, for the meanwhile I will have to make it happen and never give up on life. Even though we all have to go through emotional changes, we have to learn that giving up something is giving up on someone. The future is not that far away from today, and every day is a new day. Lately I've been thinking of what I would like to be when I growed up. When I was small I thought of things like chef, but the only thing I used to cook right was cereal and sandwiches. Later on I wanted to be an architect because if my abilities in math, but architecture is not all about math either. So now, some of my options are surgeon, marine biologist, or architect. Those are three very good options for my life, since I love animals, cereal, I'm good in math, and new experiences are always good. I would also like to learn many other things about everything, which sounds pretty complicated but yeah.

Something that makes me special is my psychological ability. My mom doesn't appreciate it much but it doesn't matter. I help many friends in difficult situations they go through. That is a good aspect of mine because whenever YOU need help I might help you. Something I don't like about that is that all my good advices I give are not useful with me. I have gone almost most problems my "clients" have had and I still haven't managed to get over them. Still, I live an acceptable life and even though I might whine about it, I'm happy I even have a life. Not the same life I was talking about in the last parragraph because in the other one I meant getting a life that will make me a better citizen in the future and in this paragraph I mean as having a soul that allows me to move and think. Lalalala have you ever heard of the song: "Cities of the Future - Infected Mushroom"? If not do it, if yes, AMAZING!
