Some words for the youth. Welcome to 2012.


"So lets try and educate ourselves about current events this year. Think of it this way. Money never sleeps, and the people controlling it are trying their best to keep their power. Therefore, why should we as the youth (the future of our world) waste time partying and harming our minds and bodies with unnecessary consumption and chemicals. Make a pledge to fight for your rights, your loved ones and your mind and heart. Your heart never stops beating for you, it’s only fair if this year, you beat for it. Oh yeah, and happy new year!"

-Daniel U Magana

Magic Dough ( My Stop Motion Animation Attempt/Experience )


This is my final project for my Film class at Pasadena City 

College. A narrative story about two clay friends turned into 

a reflective journal style documentary. Instead of going t

hrough the traditional still photography process I had to co

pe with some rules. This is why I had no time to finish my 

narrative if I was planning on turning in the assignment on 

time. 

The rules where as follows: 

A. Duration/Length 3:00-4:00 TRT (four minutes max. total 

running time) including title and end credits. Aspect 

ratio=1.33:1. Color. 


B. Title at the begin

ning of the film in the first 15 seconds. Titles and end credits 

must be in-camera, live-action diagetic title. 1 pt penalty for 

each being CG.

C. Sound is required. Four lines of dialog, maximum. Music 

allowed, but 

instrumental only, no lyrics. Music may be used throughout, 

but do NOT use just one song "wall to wall." There must be 

at least two music changes if music runs throughout the 

film. Two (2) bonus points for a completely non-dialog 

project.

D. Shoot 1.33 aspect ratio. Use school cameras, unless 

teacher allows otherwise.

E. Hard cuts only. No postproduction visual effects or 

transitions of any kind 

allowed except for two dissolves and one fade in and one 

fade out.
Sound Tracks: 

9th Wonder - Pray (Instrumental) 

JAY DEE - Dreamy (Instrumental)

This Town Needs Guns - Zebra

INFRIGHTMENT WAS INTENDED.*
