Week 5

Week 5 Update..

it's strange looking back at my blog from last year and seeing how different my work has become. This year i've taken on 3 classes from the music tech. department and am finding ways of incorporating new media/technology into my work.

This was last weeks Programming assignment:

Of course it's much better when the person recording can actually use both hands to move the game console but I have to admit that I actually am liking this cat art piece.

Speaking of cat art.. this was my assignment for my Cabinets of Curiosity class.  I have more new work to post, but haven't documented it and honestly isn't really too worth it for me at the moment.

(insert cat vid here..when I record it.)

I have to admit my mind is in a dream and all I can think about is the summer where I want to travel and possibly get a stop-motion internship.  Portfolio day is coming up but since I did not take many animation classes this year,  feel that I am behind.  It makes me a little sad but constantly find myself daydreaming about taking a trip to Europe with my boyfriend or the many puppet workshops I find online.  My mind is just in a dream state at the moment.


I also miss fashion.. fashion!!! where did you go?! These are things i've been eyeing almost every day online:

This is my life. To sum up this semester, it's me running to music tech tutoring, autocadding nights with quique, now film club with sean, practically living with my boyfriend alvie, and trying to edit my final film any free minute I get.   Everything is going great.. just the usual stress.

Some work from my Programming and Visuals class.

(Put the volume UP! Programming Visuals to Music done in Quartz Composer)

(Done in Processing, changing color ball test)

(2nd Quartz Composer test, make cubes)

(My 1st Processing assignment, draw something)

I actually am starting to miss tumblr a lot.. Might switch blogs over.. :(

sad blog moment.. But in other news last weekend my boyfriend took me out on a Valentines dinner to Mozza, then spent Chinese new year in chinatown, and also headed over to Automata to see Janie Geiser's incredible puppet performance for, Clouded Sulphur.  These were the tiny houses I built for the show that were actually the only set pieces! I feel so lucky to have Janie as a mentor.

Here are the miniature set pieces I created for Janie's show, and boyfriend pics of course.

Stills from my film

Storyboard in Progress

In January it was also Puppet Cabaret hosted by Leah Olbrich.  This is the poster my friend Francesca made!

So pretty

Disneyland!

Going a bit out of order, this was November.

Our classmate and friend Shawna scored some free fast pass Disneyland tickets which meant- no lines!  This will probably be the best Disneyland experience of my life.  We had so much fun and I especially loved buying all the sugary sweets and getting on rides that I normally would have been too scared for.  My Thanksgiving this year was again spent at the Character Animation dinner, i'm most thankful for Amanda Candler, for being our mom figure and always feeding us.

My Thanksgiving! (texting my gf Ella, sorry babe)
