project 1- site portrait
These are the montages of what we did in class
For this class, we played with light projection and objects we bought for class. someone bought colorful glass bottles so we played with the shadows casted by them. we also played with fabric meshes projected onto it
the next week we played with blue screen and objects to use for our chrome key project.
project 2- video montage
This project, it was more of playing around with Chroma King. Green screen effect. So. If the background is by me and my groupmates playing around for projector of the colorful projector and then I overlay it constantly to the point that it becomes, unrecognizable, but it made pretty colors for me, so I wanted to keep that as the background because the colors were very beautiful, especially from how we made it through the projector and then with the effects of blending. A lot of blending and multiplying and overlays. Later on, I used these like made this little footage of Green screen clips to use for my video and I end up editing. Adding it to my work. The theme of dancing animals. So it's just animals dancing ridiculously. With the background of a sound, a song I heard on YouTube and I took it because it sounded ridiculous to me.
This project was more so to play around. And find the fun of editing it.
project 3- interview
For this project I decided to play around with halftone effects. This piece is a tree channel piece. Playing different timings of me sleeping. With the backup of. My voice. Talking about what sleep is to me. With music playing along the song, it's called Melatonin Nightmares. It. Basically similar to the experience I feel towards sleep but. Also A New Perspective of Sleep. In this work, I interviewed myself about how I feel about sleep. I ended up playing around with filters a lot so it ended up being like this. I did my final project first before I did the interview project because I was still unsure with my interview project until I decided I want to interview myself and the topic of what is sleep and. How much I miss it or what it is to me? During this interview, I really missed. Sleep I missed the. Place of it. Because it is like a formal escapism. I talked about how sleep was scary for me in the past. But now I am OK with sleep and In fact, now I enjoy it. Through this work, I just wanted to talk about my love for sleep. And how it affected me before. This is still me playing around with halftone effects and as well as exploring more effects and filters and playing around with the. Computer vintage analog look to my work.
I really liked playing around with reverb a lot. Something about it Something about it made me feel like my voice feel is calm. I'm usually very self cautious about how I sound, so through the reverb I feel much more. Calmer as well as. It made me feel more a Angelic. I would definitely play more with sounds and to explore more of sounds. Especially in voice aspect, to play around with the effects of voices. I also added a bit of CrossFit at the end so that it gives off a nice ending..
PROJECT 4- FINAL OUTCOME
This final work is a 24-channel piece with sound.
In the beginning, I just wanted to play with halftones as well as the delay effect. So to do the delay effect I did, I would create the filter first for one clip. And later. Which was initially black, and white. With half turn effect. Later on, I positioned 24 clips of it, with a 2-3 seconds delay. I wanted to use this specific Minecraft song called Subwoofer Lullaby · C418 which uses a lullaby ambiance theme. That was that is very calming as well as Playful. And I edit revoke to my voice to make it very angelic and a thrill as well as very echoey, so that it's like the heart of hearing and mumbling, but you can still hear the words. It's not. Difficult to hear it, but there is, it's to men sound mumbling. I ended up layering multiple voices on top of each other to give off the echo. Even more echoey but different versions of me saying it.
The work is about how I woke up one day and felt at peace with myself. The world had a different consciousness and perspective. I became more self-aware of my surrounding. It felt like I just woke up for the first time. So I wanted to make a work about that and I wanted to make about how the eye perceives. How my eyes perceive in 24 different versions. There are more versions of perception, but I wanted to focus on 24 perceptions that look like they are going the same way. And eyes have been very pretty fascination for me, so I wanted to create this book. Perspective. It ended with a. Picture that is used commonly for eye tests. Looking through a telescope and they will test your eye to see if you can see the house are all red balloons. That house became a very nostalgic figure for me, and I want it to be about how I my vision has cleared up. I can see better now. Played a lot with the blurry effect at the end to make it look like a focus. Look of like trying to find focus. I had lots of fun doing that effect. And in the future, I feel that I will be exploring more on this kind of effect as well. This look of. And a lot. Very computer, 2000 computers.
