And... Action!

for my third project, i have decided to use movie magic to make an everyday, ordinary event into an action sequence. Doing the dishes is a chore, but filmed in a way that makes it exciting can make something seemingly ordinary into something extraordinary. Below are some websites that had bits of helpful information on shooting and directing action sequences.

I've started some rough sketches also that show some zoom shots and where movements might be shown sped up or in slow motion. I've also found a site that ive been listening to some music from that i thought i might use.

Below is a list of other ordinary tasks that i thought i could film as an action sequence:
checking e-mail
sweeping the floor
feeding the cat
doing the laundry
