The Matrix

The Matrix is the story of a man by Thomas A. Anderson, who is living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a malevolent hacker known as Neo. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, and tells him that it is not 1999, but closer to 2199, and that humanity is fighting a war against the machines created in the early 21st century. The sky is covered by thick black clouds created by the humans in an attempt to cut off the machine's solar power. The machines responded by using human beings as their energy source in conjunction with nuclear fusion, later growing countless people in pods and harvesting their bioelectrical energy and body heat. The world in which Neo grew up was actually the Matrix, a simulated reality of the world set in 1999, developed by the machines in order to keep the human captives docile.
Morpheus and his crew belong to a group of  rebels who "unplug" others from the Matrix and recruit them to their resistance against the machines. They are able to use their understanding of the Matrix's nature to bend the simulation's laws of physics, giving them superhuman abilities within the virtual world. Morpheus believes that Neo is "the One," a man prophesied to end the war through his limitless control over the Matrix.  Neo later finds himself running through a city toward another telephone exit,(his way to get back to the real word) well being pursued by the Agents while "sentinel" machines converge on the Nebuchadnezzar in the real world. Neo reaches an exit, but Smith (Neo's opposite inside of the Matrix)  is already waiting and shoots him. In the real world, Trinity whispers to Neo what the Oracle had told her: that she would fall in love with "the One". She refuses to accept Neo's  death and kisses him. Neo's heart starts to beats again, and within the Matrix, he revives; the Agents shoot at him, but he raises his palm and the bullets stop in mid-air. Neo now "sees" the lines of green computer code that comprise the Matrix. Agent Smith makes a final attempt to kill him, but his punches are effortlessly blocked, and Neo destroys him. The other two Agents flee, and Neo returns to the real world in time for the ship's EMP weapon to destroy the sentinels that had already breached the craft's hull. ( this is pretty much how the first Matrix ends)

Fight Club

Fight Club is the story of a man (later to be known as Tyler Durden) that can't sleep. He goes night after night of not being able to sleep. Later the main character starts to become addicted to therapy groups, like a therapy group for people will testicular-cancer. These therapy groups allow the main character to just let go and cry his eyes out. The main character later states that "even babies don't sleep this good". However a girl by the name of Marla starts to go to all of the main character's therapy groups and because she is a faker, just like the main character, the main character can't cry, and once again he can't sleep. Later the main meets a man by the name of Tyler Durden on an airplane. The main character and Tyler talk for a bit and then Tyler gives the main character his' business card. Later, after the main character's condo gets blown up, me calls Tyler. The main character and Tyler meet at a bar only to begin to fight each other after they have had a few drinks. Later on in the movie, the main character and Tyler start an underground fighting club named Fight Club, which later, by the hands of Tyler, turns into Project Mayhem.  This project later becomes to much for the main character as he sees his old "friend" Bob die from a bullet to the head and after he learns that Project Mayhem is going to blow up a ton of banks so that "everything will go back to zero".  The main character begins to try to find Tyler, so that he can stop Project Mayhem, only to find out that Tyler Durden is just a voice inside of his head. Everything that Tyler did, he actually did. Later, after Tyler and the main character "fight" for awhile inside of one of the banks, the main character find himself with a gun in his mouth. However, the main character slowly realizes that he is actually holding the gun and not Tyler. The main character then shoots himself in the head to "kill" Tyler, just as the bombs go off inside of all the banks.

Solo project: Don't Let Love Pass You By

The main idea of this project was to follow word for word a short story that my girlfriend had written me about a month ago. The story talks about how she never really felt a sense of belonging until she found me as well as hitting on the idea of not letting opportunities pass you by. The video is shot as it is raining to better express a sense of depression and as the video continues, the main character finds herself with the opportunity of finding true love. However,  she decides to let it pass her by because she is fearful of being hurt again. Later in the video the main character reflects on why she would let her true love pass her by.  The video jumps back to the main character once again having the opportunity of finding true love. This time the main character turns to face her biggest fear, true love, and find where she truly belongs.

Gruop Project: Story on an Insane man

The main idea of this project was to express what someone in a mental hospital may go through.  For example, the whole movie gets it's story line through the use of flashbacks brought on through drawings or paintings.  The main character slips between what is real (being in the hospital) and warped visions of the past as the main character begins to remember more and more of his past through his drawings;  the main character even remembers killing his parents.  Hopefully once we are done filming and editing this project it will successfully reflect upon the conflicts that a person in a mental hospital may go through.

Lost In Tradition

The main idea for my dream project (lost in tradition) was to give the feeling of one of those dreams that keeps repeating it's self over and over, and your not really sure if your still dreaming. Therefore, I shot everything twice, once wearing one shirt (dark) and once wearing another shirt (white). The white shirt represented when I was awake and the black shirt represented when I was asleep. In this manure, the audience would slowly catch on to what was a dream and what was real.
