I am filming the footage in HD this afternoon :) Here are the final stats. I'll be placing these items on the plate one by one. It's going to look tasty!
1. Each food item we eat travels an average 1,500 miles to get to our plate.
2. U.S. farmers spend $8 billion per year on chemical pesticides, equivalent to 3.5 lbs per person, per year.
3. Silicone-based polymers are used to control the level of foam in large frying vats so more food can be cooked.
4. An estimated 67 million birds die each year from pesticide exposure on U.S. farms.
5. Animals like sheep and cows are raised in such extreme confinement they consume their own waste.

Tom,
ReplyDeleteNice Work!! I really like the feel of this movie. The background noise really adds to the feel of being in a crowded restaurant. I like the touch of the plastic glove in place of a fancy white glove. It really adds to the fact that you are dealing with chemicals and non food items versus fancy dinner food:)
- Dealing with hierarchy, your imagery is what has the most attention when being viewed. I want to watch what is going on. The background noise is also important because it adds to and supports the visuals. I sort of feel like the text may not be the right font or something. I am not sure? The placement is nice and the size it just to does not seem to fit with what is going on to me.
- The media you used worked well! I know this is the first time you dealt with live footage and I am glad you took the time to try it out. It was nice how the camera stayed in one set place throughout the movie and objects came into the scene.
