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 

*THE RIGHTS RESERVE TO THE ARTISTS AND RECORD 

LABELS! THIS IS A STUDENT FILM AND NO COPYRIGHT 

INFRIGHTMENT WAS INTENDED.*

Probably my favorite image I shot so far. The moment was perfect, I want to find the family of this child and give them a big print of this. If my generation fails to save this planet. I hope with everything I am that her generation will be the one to change this system. Or else it could be too late.

This 11-11-11 We Occupy As One


11-11-11 One world, one day, one movement. The people of California, Occupy Long Beach, Make Banks Pay, ACCE, SEIU, Red Meets Blue, and End Corporate Personhood act as one in this day by organizing a massive demonstration against corporate greed, corporate political influence, and stand up for global peace. We invite you on this day to be a part of history and to let your voice be heard amongst the one voice of the people. Let it be known that when the long haul is over, there will not be a 1% nor will there be a 99%. It will all be one. The world is a single organism that consists of all elements of nature including ourselves and a world at war with itself is doomed. Therefore we need to recognize that there is no other and that we are all one.

October 15th Global Occupy DAY!












Enough said. The global Occupation day!


October 15th 2011! 

WE RECORD HISTORY!




She has had enough. Save America.



It's not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. 

Just Another Meeting ( For Those who think we're unorganized)












Everyone is welcome to attend all Occupy LA meetings 

every day at 6:00 pm at the south stairs of the LA City Hall 

located in the intersection of 1st and Spring St. This meeting 

was a bit different because the people of Occupy LA were 

expecting the arrival of Dr. Cornell West. He had a ton to say 

to the occupiers. Unfortunately I don’t have any Images of 

Dr. Cornell West because I recorded his speech instead. 

The Video Will be up soon and I’ll be sure to post it here. 


P.S. Oct.15th pictures up soon

Truth!

Awesome Characters!












Some cool characters I’ve met at Occupy LA/Demonstrations

Filtered info.






Some of the questions that the mainstream was asking had a 


ton to do with the Tea Party, or is it true that all the 99% was 


99% White, and stupid questions like ‘Why aren’t all these 


many people trying to find a job’. First of all this is not a 


political movement, we are fighting to keep the greedy Wall 


Street pigs out of our political system. So going out in the 


streets for a political party would beat our purpose. Something 


I told dumb ass CNN, Do I look white to you?? Do these 


people of the Union look white to you?? (They were mostly 


Afro American, Latino, and Asian). The most stupidest 


statements like ” It seems to us that there is not a clear 


demand from the people” When there are tons of signs 


around the Channel 7 crew that say “Tax Wall Street”, “Make 


Banks Pay”, “End Corporate Influence”, “End The FED”. Like 


really these people of the media just want to see an impulsive 


reaction or statement so that they could label us as 


unorganized or as communists. This is not a political 


movement. It’s an intellectual Evolution! ( Revolution )
