Xpider Sven
We had a baller 7-legged spider hanging outside of our project window the other day and took some awesome footage of it. Unfortunately, he went missing when the weather got colder and rainier :(
I played around with the footage of our Xpider and video effects in Premiere.
Watch the videos in FULL HD and FULL SCREEN for the ultimate experience!!

Project Xense & Random Doodle
At the Entertainment Technology Center they allow us to borrow Wacom Tablets, so I got myself a Wacom Intuos 4 Extra Large. Yes, EXTRA LARGE!!! It's 462mm x 304.8mm (18.2" x 12.0") with 8 express keys, a touch ring and a pen with Advanced Pen Tip Sensor.
Anyway, working hard on Project Xense to create 3 interactive exhibitions for the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington DC about retinal implants, cochlear implants and neuroprosthetics.
Here's random wacom doodle of a girl with a prosthetic arm...

Visual Story Class
Visual Story is a storytelling/film class part of my boot camp semester at the Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University. The course combines the traditional notions of a film course — how to use the visual language from film — with the emerging notions of how interactivity changes the way we communicate with an audience.
On my team were Albert Gea, Dicky Lou, Daniel Hausmann and Eric Zhang. And for our first assignment, we had to create a short promo video of our team and team members. Below you can find the deliverable requirements and the final video for the assignment.
Deliverables:
1. Each team will create a 10 second animated logo for their respective Visual Story teams.
2. In addition, each team will shoot a 60 second promotional short on your team. The objective is to show off your team's talent in a creative way. Try to follow a storyline through time and space that depicts your team in the most creative, crazy, or fun way possible. Use all elements of visual grammar and work at building in elements from the first few lectures and workshops.
For the 2nd assignment, we had to recreate a scene from a movie. The choices were "3 Iron", "Tenacious D", "American Psycho", "Stranger than Fiction" and "...". We picked Tenacious D
Recreating a scene shot for shot
Choose one of the three scenes screened in class and break them down into these three steps (Due with Rough Cut):
1. Text – Dialogue and shot list
2. Images – Storyboard with matching dialogue
3. Schematics – Over head floor plan with numbered camera set-ups
