My final project is a story called Lucidity.  You can read it here.  It’s a little rough, a little incomplete, and I hope it makes some small amount of sense.   The story is set in a dystopian far future and the narrative occurs both in the reality of that fictional world and in the main ...

I haven’t blogged hardly anything at all about this final project… The story I’m working on is called Lucidity.  More on the actual story when it comes time to do the official final project reflection — it is set in a dystopian future and it’s a little crazy.  For now, I want to share some ...

My last spin of the remix generator gave me this assignment, which says to make subtle changes to the original work and see how easy it is to spot the differences.   I used this adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s Hope II (which you should look at, because it’s a genius remix on its own).  I thought ...

Doesn’t look it from this angle, but it is deep enough to jump from. TDC83: Sketch a place you’d rather be right now. This ...

Here’s a more detailed explanation of how I did my animated opening credits.  I tried to go straight through the process, but there was no way in the world that all of the steps would fit into a video that was a reasonable length, so these two videos are just the basic steps for text ...

TDC 77: Create a self-portrait, without your face, that identifies you. So I’ve had this glaringly orange bookbag for nearly 15 years, which I’m pretty sure is longer than I’ve owned anything else. It has shown up in random photos … Continue reading →

  TDC 64: Make a creative photo of some sort of boundary. TDC 65: Show your workspace where you do your creative stuff and tell us about it. TDC66: Tell the world in a five minute or less video why … Continue reading →

Here are some final thoughts on the making of our radio show. Below is a clip for the documentary, talking mostly about making the ghost story: This is the poster I made for our show in Illustrator. Credit to this … Continue reading →

TDC 45: Say your name backwards.  Zil (p)pans makes me think of some futuristic kitchen supply brand. TDC 47: Take a photo featuring your favorite color. TDC 52: Take a photo of a leap or a leaping photo.  Or a … Continue reading →
