This video is done by one of my personal heros, Adam Savage. In the video he discusses his obsession with items and the stories they tell.
He starts off with the story if the Dodo Skeleton. A Dodo is a bird that what extinct in the 1800's. He was having a craft day with his kids and decided to sculpt a Dodo skull out of Skulpie. Next he did some vertebrae and ended up with a complete skeleton.
After that he talked about the Maltese Falcon. The Maltese Falcon, which is a bird from a movie of the same name and it has an interesting history, the prop was sold at an auction house to a local department store. Then was stolen around the time a remake for the movie was coming out. Later it showed up again on the market and was sold to a bar and and a couple years later it was stolen from the bar.
First, I really connected to this talk because I am what is called a maker. A maker is someone who loves to make things of any nature. I like to build models of airplanes and combat vehicles. But I also like to collect things from TV shows or movies that I like. For instance I really like the movie Alien, so a have a model of the space suit that Kane wore in the movie. Another example is I have a wand from Harry Potter that is one of my favorite things in my “collection.” I enjoy collecting is because of the stories and connection that these object that I have to the movies, time periods, and authors to these characters or creative people that I look up to. Another instance of this is the project I am planning to start soon. I am going to build a model of the Millennium Falcon and hope to give is a paint job to mimic a World War 2 fighter plane.
Another reason, I think that Adam Savage is one of my heros is because of his accomplishments. He was a model builder for Industrial Light and Magic, this is the shop that did such films as Alien, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and, Starship Troopers
(a favorite of mine). This would be my dream job to work at this studio.

In conclusion I really connected to this video. When Adam was talking I felt like that would be what I would say in that situation. Mine would be over different projects of course, but I really connected to what he was saying.
Ben,
ReplyDeleteYou need to hyperlink the source into the title of your topic sentence. Plus, you need to follow summary format. You didn't really tell me what messages and ideas Adam Savage conveyed throught he use of these objects-you need to tell me what the TED talk entails and what Adam Savage has to say objectively. Plus, I am not sure why you have so many paragraphs. I love how you connect to this man and you really show passion for your interests and ambition in the future, but I want to know more of how you connected to what he was saying because I do not know what he was saying. What does this have to do with the creative obsessive and the messages he wants to get across? I really appreciate getting to know you as an individual. You are writing well-you just need to adhere to the organizational structure. 14/20
