For the One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds assignment, I went for leading ladies with cats in classic films.
From:
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961): Audrey Hepburn
Gigi (1958): Leslie Caron
Bell, Book and Candle (1958): Kim Novak
Bringing Up Baby (1938): Katherine Hepburn
The Pink Panther (1963): Claudia Cardinale
I used similar techniques to Alan Levine’s 5 cops in 5 seconds, taking clips from YouTube and using iMovie to make this.
The stupid thing is, Posterous won’t accept my video files anymore, regardless of codec. Or rather, it accepts them, but won’t convert them. I may be moving to WordPress. Anyway, I had to upload to YouTube to get the embed.
