miffy495 Posted October 30, 2014 Hey, I'm IN Canada and she's still too far away to chill. So tomorrow is a PD day, meaning that while I'm going in to work the kids will not be there. This left today as the day for all of the Halloween festivities (including costumes) at school. It is also the day that I happened to be teaching a chemistry lesson. I taught the lesson in character (as much as I could) and a student hung back a little bit at the mid-morning break to help me film the following. You can hear her giggling a bit. Very unprofessional in a camera operator, but in her defence, she's 9. ...I went to university for 7 years to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleinhun Posted October 31, 2014 I finally got around to carving a pumpkin for this year: It's this thing from one of my favorite webcomics (http://www.last-halloween.com/) It turned out ok. I still haven't quite figured out the best way to take pictures of jack-o-lanterns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clyde Posted October 31, 2014 I made a game for the Glorious Trainwrecks Halloween event. It's pretty creepy. http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/8558 For those of you who would rather play it in your web-browser, here is a link to that. https://db.tt/KAcxPxit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted October 31, 2014 So, Phycho with live orchestra was awesome. I've never seen it before. I didn't know Marion died half way through! The live orchestra really brought the creep factor up a notch i though, all those stabbing bows. The film itself was excellent. Hilarious 60s-ness aside (woman in bra and knife attack being a watershed moments in sexuality and violence on screen apparently! - and "he's a transvestite!" during the oh so helpful explanation of the entire movie at the end) some of the shots were amazing. The zoom on Marion's eye was insane, I love it - a standout amongst many amazing shots. I also loved the extended periods of action with no talking (disposing of the body etc) where only the orchestra were playing over the action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He frequently paused to discuss things about the film (it took two 3 hour classes to watch it this way). During one of these pauses he told us that spoiler and said it was a great choice but very disconcerting for the audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
