Plausibly Impossible

In this example Mickey is pulled up to a tabletop by a telephone pulling his wire while Mickey rides it. This is plausible because in real life it is similar to someone pulling another person up something with some rope. It is impossible because the telephone could never be alive and Mickey could never become that small.

In this example Mickey is shuffled in with a deck of cards. This is plausible because Mickey is the same size as the cards and could easily be mixed in with the deck. It is impossible because there is no way anyone could be the same size or thickness of a card. It looks pretty cool though.

In this example Mickey is dancing with the queen of hearts. This is plausible because the card has a female personality and men and woman usually dance together. This is impossible because a card could never take on a personality of a human and Mickey could never be the same size as a card.

In this example Mickey needs a sharp object to battle the king of hearts because he is coming at Mickey with a sword. Mickey finds this little sewing needle that is plausible because it is pointing and sharp. It is ideal and similar to what an actual sword could look like in a smaller form. It is also impossible because Mickey would never be fighting a card with a sewing needle.

In this example Mickey is being chased by a lot of cards and needs to combat against them. He stumbles up on this pen that is full of ink. This is plausible to use this as a gun because it has ink as ammunition and ink could work well against paper cards. It is also impossible because a pen could never be used a gun that shot ink at crazy combatting cards.

Professional Runaway Music Video Review

Kanye West has a very abstract style in his music videos. In particular the music video for the song Runaway is quite unique. The director does a very good job of making the music video interesting although the setting never changes and there is little for a plot. The change of angles and the use of the 6-shot system is what accomplishes the interesting flair of the video. The synchronized movement of the ballet to Kanye's music creates a beautiful captivating tone. The director uses many closeups of the dancers, Kanye, and the piano. All of these are things I tried to incorporate into my remake of the video.
