    The end has come. For now at least

    by
    This is my last post.  It is the post that will talk about summarizing all of the things done on the checklist. I have scheduled my 30 minute appointment with Jim Groom during finals week.  My time slot is on Wednesday, at 1:00.  I love Wednesdays because it’s the day of Red Pepper and gouda soup. …

    My Final Project: What it’s about

    by
    My final project is called “Essence,” because it’s about taking minute things from different days, and recording them somehow.  This allows the days to be separated, by these small yet memorable moments.   The inspiration comes from journaling, specifically when I was little.  My mom would always buy me a sketchbook or a composition book …

    Today.. 4/30/12

    by
    I made this today, while looking at an old article, while thinking about old assignments, … … and thinking about the last 4 years. To endure the consequences existing earlier: respect, remember, profess. I guess I was feeling sentimental and reflective today, and I guess this would be appropriate as I will be graduating in …

    Today.. April 25, 2012

    by
    I fell out of bed.  It felt something like this: This rarely happens, I actually can’t think of the last time that it did happen.  It doesn’t usually happen to people above the age of 5, but it happened.  A little rolling, a very, very, brief period of free falling, and then a thud.  Not actually …

    A Whole New World, and the Tutorial

    by
    The assignment was “Take a picture of your subject (grandparents, pet, yourself) and put it into a totally different background in which they appear abnormally too small or too large.

    LIFE IS GOOD.

    by
    LIFE IS GOOD. I realize that light seems to be a reoccurring theme in these posts.  I think it’s because light is so symbolic of “hope” and as the semester and undergrad college career are coming to and end, I’m finally seeing the light.  The stress is starting to fade, and different experiences are more satisfying. Today …

    Today.. SMASHING!

    by
    April 17, 2012.  I ran into this gem on the wall of Simpson Library. I would love to know who drew this, because they did a great job. The Wild Thornberrys was one of my favorite television shows growing up, and I couldn’t help doing a double take when I saw this.  Although I felt …

    Progess

    by
    I was thinking about how this class is about telling stories, and showing the progression of things on a continuum.  I was thinking about how an art professor had told his students to take a picture of your work as we go, so that if you mess something up, you can look back at how …

    Music Mashups

    by
    Earlier this week I made the huge mistake of doing mashup assignments instead of remix assignments.. It was embarrassing.  Here is another assignment from the mashups that I finished, but had just not posted.  The assignment - Take clips from different songs and mash them up into something fun. Try to use random effects and cross …

    Here is a video that I have created from a few clips I took of this afternoon. I originally took these shots because I was working on the daily create, (make a 5×5 video, daily clips, only natural sound).  I ended up making this instead. It might seem weird to people watching it, as it shows a …

    Consumer Mashup

    by
    Assignment: Think of anyplace you spend money, and what you most often buy at that place. Then redesign their logo to incorporate your favorite product. Do as many as you want. Target is well known for being that place that you go in for one thing, and come out spending too much money.  I hate it …

    Today- The First Day of Instagram.

    by
    [Please Click the Photo Above] Today I got the popular mobile phone application, Instagram.  I couldn’t help myself from taking pictures of everything I thought looked interesting, even when it involved looking like a freak, bending over while carrying all of my crap for school, just to get the perfect shot of weeds.  It’s applications like …

    Video Assignment – 5 second Archetype.

    by
    The assignment was to “Create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each.”  I would like to start off by saying that capturing 5 different examples of an archetype in 5 seconds was almost impossible.  In fact, at first it was impossible.  The first video is …

    Today I had a very small epiphany during something as trivial as painting my nails.    I hate painting my nails because I hate waiting for them to dry.  I know that I will become temporarily handicapped from doing most things requiring fine motor skills, so I usually opt out.  But when I do do …

    (PLEASE CLICK IMAGE ABOVE) In the late hours of the light, I sat trying to keep my eyes open while simultaneously studying sound waves and dissociative disorders.   I looked up and saw my light on, all lonely in the other corner of my room.  I took a short break, an stared at this light …

    one second video

    by
    How much of a story can you tell in a 1 second video? Inspired by this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I created this video because I think it’s beautiful, in that it is a mixture of my grandmother and technology.  It’s something that doesn’t happen very often.  I also think that …
