Angel De Quinta's STAGE DOOR Blog: favorite Broadway excerpts

The Broadway excerpts I enjoyed the most were the Tony performance that included Jennifer Holliday, Patti LuPone, and Betty Buckley, Bae Arthur "Fifty Percent",  and "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat" performed by Guys & Dolls. Each video contained a fun energy as well as amazing talent.


The Tony performance that included Jennifer Holliday, Patti LuPone, and Betty Buckley was a perfect mixture of talent, emotion, and attitude. I enjoyed the switching of singers and the emotion each artist had. It was fun to experience such talent on one state.

 


Bae Arthur had a lot of personality while singing the song fifty percent which made her overall performance stand out. She took the lyrics personally and projected that through the audience as well as her facial expressions. I would not have liked the song as much as I did if it wasn't for the performance Bae Arthur gave the audience.


The Guys & Dolls performance had an exciting set and cool costumes. The ensemble was very active throughout the performance which made it fun to view. The song was telling more of a story than the other performances. The dancing was great I believe this was my favorite video that I viewed. 

In conclusion, the performances that I favored consisted of personality, excitement, and some kind of story. Each piece did an amazing job with interpreting emotion and a story.

Stop Motion Film

This film was done by me and Julia Christensen. The plot was two friends doing yoga together and presenting gifts to one another. We incorporated the advantage we had of disappearing into thin air and making it look like we were popping back into the scene from different spots. The props used were a plant and a picture that represented relaxation and peace. This project was not what we expected it to be but we both enjoyed the challenge. On our first try we took too many pictures making the movie look like it was a time lapse. We improved that as well as the different things we did within the scenes. Overall it was a fun activity to do and learn.

Grid Project

Image
I chose to make a pixelated version of a Greek island. Even though it was challenging at times to match the colors I believe this pixelated version is similar to the printed image I was trying to mimic. I used post it notes that were colored, some of them were colored on in order to perfect the colors. I did not color every post it note because the original ones emulated what the actual color was better than the markers. It was fun putting together this project and it was also interesting to learn what it takes to create a pixelated image on photoshop.
