Premise

Meditate Fate started off as a means for my friends and I to play with our new
snazzy Panasonic DVX 100. It was a good way for us to test out all of the features
(which are many) that this camera contains. Since my friend Bobby is an instructor
at a martial arts school, he has access to lots of nifty household items like nunchukas(sp?)
and Kendo outfits. We looked at the stuff available to us and came up with a quirky
little martial arts short about a zen-like master who stands in the way of challengers
looking to "prove" themselves.

 

Being Korean-American (sorta like a potato chip with MSG), my household already
has a spice of the Asian variety so we found it feasible this zen-like dude would be chilling
in his crib waiting for what would appear to be the common challenger. The choreography

wasn't anything spectacular, but people seemed to enjoy it. I entered it in a small little
competition Wrigley Video held and some people voted it as one of their favorites.

Check out the Production section to see some screenshots and an explanation of
how we were able to achieve certain effects.
