Week..10?

I have no idea what week of school this is..

Posting some work from Leo's Cabinets of Curiosity.


 Panorama assignment - use magazine, I made burning houses turning into ashes with mountains and a sky back drop




Book art - Do anything with a book. Added mini led lights, story about a scientist dealing with a young girl and boy
 

Polly Pocket art!!! - This was a cabinets of curiosity assignment, I got really inspired by old bug displays pinned with needles and have been wanting to use my polly's.  Too bad i've lost so many more over the years! uh!



I bought this toy off the internet - I'm going to try to attach small led lights onto the penguins to create a sort of light show in a pitch black space for Janie's class



I stil have so much more work to do! ALL FINALS!!!
Janie Final - Karoke installation projection final due in 1 week
Leo Cabinets FINAL
Digital Arts show
Visual Programming performance
3D printing



ahhh!! But I will say that i'm really excited about all of these, just need to get myself back in work mode! and less of eat chocolate in bed and watch l word mode...
my film!! it's sad that my film is always last on my priority list :( but I think it's because i'm so close to the final edit then all I need is sound! So i'm not too stressed yet.. I'm really enjoying my classes but have found myself wanting to just go on adventures with friends instead of working. It's probably because the weather is so nice now and I really want to escape.  Only a few more weeks to go before summer!



Leftover stickers from Portfolio Day!!!

SPRING BREAK

THE GUN SHOW!!! Me, Tempe, and Liz all had girls night out and went to the shooting range.  This was my 1st time shooting a gun and it was INTENSE.  I was so scared to pull the trigger for the first time but after a few shots, you get used to it.

Week 6

I was so proud of my interactive Su Tissue Programming test.  This week in programming class we learned how to use our mac's iSight cameras to detect ourselves that we then turned into a grid and you could program each specific square to play a certain note or in my case part of the Suburban Lawns interview.  Here is my iphone documentation...
(Put the volume UP!)

This was also finally the first time in our 3D printing class that we got to print out our boxes! mine was pretty plain, but I wanted to make sure it worked before I got too detail oriented.



Also this week,
Men of Butler Calendar shoot, Dirties Screening, editing film, Getting ready for Portfolio day, Jeanne Stern visiting on Saturday!!!, and getting soooo much other stuff ready for finals and my 2 films.


I also watched Eraserhead for the first time..

Such an incredible puppet.

and I watch Angela.. I've been wanting to get back into the habit of film watching.

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:
