Camera Obscura

-

 







Here is my third project for my Multimedia Installation class! For this project, we needed to create a Camera Obscura within our own homes using supplies that we had!


Fantastical Facts: Camera Obscura Edition:
  • This project was a little difficult because of the view from our windows. In my house, we have nice views of plants and even a pool, but because of how the windows are positioned, not much is seen when the room is darkened. Some of the windows were also too big to cover with just trash bags, so I really only had one window option. That is why the pictures are not the most exciting due to the view.
  • I found a little hack to cut the circle perfectly! The diameter needed to be around two inches, and it turns out the little Keurig cups are perfect! It made cutting the hole in the trash bags so much easier!
  • The pictures were also a little bit difficult to take because of the dark room. I really liked how they turned out though! 
As always, thank you for supporting this small artist and blog! I hope you enjoy the work as much as I do when I create it! Have a magical day!

It's My Party

  ***IMAGE FLASH WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO MOVEMENT OR FLASHING LIGHTS*** Here is my Illustrator Mandala project entitled, "It's My Party!" For this project we needed to take more complicated images than the Image Mandala and take them into Adobe Illustrator, simplify them, and make a mandala out of the images in Adobe Dreamweaver. These images were imported using Javascript files, so that way we were able to make cool changes to the images without having a disorganized code. Fantastical Facts: Illustrator Mandala Edition: This project is 6,261 lines total! This is by far the biggest project so far! A good amount of the lines were generated from Illustrator and then made into Javascript files, however, they are still counted in the total as they are referenced in the main source code.  It was a challenge in this project to find images that weren't too complicated so that way the code could run without crashing the computer. Luckily

  This week in class, I worked on creating the maps for the final project. I created parts of the world that I would like the Critter Cubes to live in. I started with the village house above and I would like to create that into a party scene with more food on the table and decorations in the background. I would also like the Critter Cubes to jump around the table. I also worked on planning the other scenes and what shots I would like to take with them.

Fragmented Video- Doxies In Space

Here is my second project for my Multimedia Installation class! For this project, we needed to create a fragmented video with 6 to 9 squares all with footage that went together. I decided to step out of the box a bit and create a 6 canvas wide painting that when put together, makes one giant painting called, Doxies In Space ! I filmed the footage of myself painting it and made the clips into 6 sections to achieve the product. Fantastical Facts: Doxies In Space Edition: All together, the footage took a little over 2 hours to film and paint! Each clip had to be filmed one at a time, panel by panel. It took about a week of prep work as well, drawing on the canvases and getting all of the supplies set.  After each panel was filmed, I then converted all of the files over to my computer to save space. Because I filmed on my IPhone 8, I didn't have a lot of space to work with storage wise.  Once I had everything filmed, I made the panels using precise math in Premiere Pro. Then I edited e
