Cinnamon Zone: Videos

Stupid Bush... a hit out of the park!

So I made this video of Bush sometime ago and posted it on YouTube. I got email notification from time to time telling me that someone has commented on “Stupid Bush” (That being the video title) I usually didn’t check the comments and by now I figured there was 30 something comment on it, didn’t really keep count…

So, today I decided to check up on it, and I was surprised to see that the video achieved an average rating of 4/5 (87 ratings), was viewed 32,833 times, favorited 200 times, and provoked more than 145 comments...

I don’t know how much those numbers are considered impressive relatively, since I’m not a YouTube savvy and I haven’t created too many videos of my own (public ones that is), besides that this one is not original (a montage of different videos for Bush with some comments and some sound effects)... but I liked what I saw anyawys! So I thought it's worth sharing once again… enjoy!

One funny comment reads: That man could make more money doing his own TV show than as President. Though my favourite Bushism (except perhaps the fish one) is: "If we don't succeed we run the risk of failure."

Such a beautiful song! I vaguely remember it from some years back, but when I heard it 2 days ago, it was as if I was hearing it for the first time…

ذكرى و ورد: Short Movies

These two short movies are part of my cousin Nadia's graduation project. I just loved them and thought they are worth sharing.

ماذا لو كان الورد أخضر؟

ورد... فيلم فيديو يعرض تجارب لأطفال مكفوفين عند تلمسهم لأوراق ورد و إدراكهم الحسي و ربما البصري للّون والمادة

What if roses were green?

Ward (Roses) is a short movie featuring the experience of blind kids feeling rose petals, and their tactile, possibly visual, perception of colors and objects.

إن لم تكن الذكرى صوراً، فماذا تكون؟

ذكرى فيلم فيديو يعرض تجارب لشباب مكفوفين، تمثل إحساسهم بالمكان و حديثهم عن ذكرياتهم الخاصة و الأكثر حضوراً في أذهانهم.

If memories were not pictures, what would it be?

Thekra (Memories) is a short movie featuring the experience of blind people, representing their sense of place by talking about their most cherished memories.

Let's talk numbers!

Another hilarious episode of Abu Mahjoob daily show! As in his cartoons, Hajjaj tries to reflect the daily concerns of the ordinary Jordanian citizen, in a less-than-five-minutes animation of ironic, sarcastic, scathy yet hopefully constructive criticism... I can't say I liked all the episodes, or got the point all the time, but it's obvious that the people at Mahjoob creative production company are putting a serious effort on this and they are trying to deliver a message...

This is one of the episodes I really liked, it reflects the confusion over the statistics published in the Jordanain outlets, their impact on the ordinary citizen and the contrast between them and realty... Enjoy!
