About Me
- MikeR
- My son asked me why I take so many pictures, why I was obsessed with cameras. I told him that I did it to capture moments of time that we would never have again. I didn't want to forget, or possibly be forgotten, so I was trying to capture the important parts of our lives. The outdoors is a fascination to me, as well as reading, writing, education and traditional archery. Oh Yeah! I forgot to say that I enjoy teaching at Enterprise. I actually like teenagers. Most are punks but, I still kind of like them. I am kind of sick that way. Go figure.

Test Blog
What is up my homies! I just wanted to say hi and be the first person to respond to the blog. I’m looking forward to making our movies; it will be quite an adventure. I just wanted to let you all know that my group will need everyone in the class for a scene we are going to shoot. We need lots of actors so talk to us if we don’t get to you first.
Thanks!
This is Cody, and I am blogging. The words static and dynamic is what I want to discuss right now. Us as human beings have narrowed down the infinite possiblities of character development into two simple catagories, static and dynamic. Static and dynamic have their realms, I think that one dominates the other. In my opinion for the art of film, static characters are stronger in movies. And dynamic charcters are stronger in series or continued shows. I'm not saying the characters in movies shouldn't learn anything, and maybe change a little. I'm saying in brief motion pictures I enjoy predictable characters doing unpredictable things. They are static, yet solid, and you can remember them, and not get mixed up with personality changes in a brief motion picture. Like the movie BE Cool. Chile Palmer is always cool, smart, and his thought processes never change. And Syn LaSalle is just a black brother who wants his money, and make the world a better place for his daughter. And occasionally that involves killing people in the music business. Now to the dynamic characters. They belong in video series that have history, and a lot of showtime. Shows you can say, " Remember 8 seasons ago when this guy was a pushover sweeping sidewalks, now he is a stud selling shoes." Like Joss Whedons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Every character changes thier role and outlook of themselves. Thier attitudes are kinda the same though. Like Spike, he went from being a disposable villian, to the big bad, to a nudered vampire, to an annoying houseguest, to buffy's stalker, to buffy's lover, to a vailent man/monster, to the champion who sealed the hellmouth. Through all that change though he still enjoyed the kill. Thats dynamic. The big problem with static motion pictures. Is that films are paralleling books now. Mostly with dynamic characters. same story but far, a different experience.
