Project Update No. 2

My update for this project is that it's started! This project is very simple, so I'm hoping to do as much of it as possible.

I ended up choosing to do 2D and in real life characters/objects interact. My plan for this is to take as many pictures as possible and draw over some things in the pictures to make it seem like 2D and 3D exist in the same world. I have 4 pictures worked on so far: 2 simple ones and 2 more explored ones (for lack of better words). For the 2 simple ones, I added red jackets over people and outlines the wrinkles in the jackets. These pictures were mainly to test if I had the skills to execute this project and see what I would feel better working with. The other 2 pictures are ones that have some legitimate progress and some extra additions outside of just adding things over people. The pictures aren't finished yet, but at least they're started. I will admit that I'm not at a point where I would hope to be in my progress but at least these pictures have been started. As for selecting the photos, I've let my participants know that I'm using off-guard photos of them as the concept and then I'll add random stuff to their pictures. I planned on having a theme to this project in the beginning but with how busy my participants and I are, it'll be better time-wise if I just did what I could at random.

Since I'm not having a theme for this, I guess there really isn't any prior knowledge necessary to understand my project. This is as simple as can be. The only thing that one would maybe need to know is the influences behind this, which is Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Cool World - both movies that incorporate animation in real life settings. I will say, though, that I would like to create an image that resembles Paramore's Hard Times music video. She incorporates colors and animations that pop out and give the actual people cartoony effects. This one would be a bit more complex that what I have done so far, but I could do this as the final image or something like that.

Your Project Proposal Blog Post & Presentation

 I have a couple of ideas for potential art installations. 1.      An installation based on the game Overcooked. It's a cooking game where you need to put out as many orders as possible; it has various foods to cook, many levels to play through, and is somewhat story -based. For this, I'd want to 3-D print some Overcooked characters and have them scattered throughout the place. I could use cardboard to recreate the Overcooked sign and/or cut out some background objects that are in the game. I would also set up the game in the background. What I would want to be the center of attention is food. I would want to make some food that would also be made in the game as well. I want to make this an interactive installation where people can play the game and eat food too. This installation would be set up in the Gaming House lobby. My only issue, however, would be the expenses for the ingredients.  2.      An installation of my room. Above is a drawn-out layout of my side of the room wh

Exercise No. 2 - Ten Spaces

This is a picture of a wall from the place I work. It's one of the very few spots that have no merchandise on it. This wall shows it consisting of mostly brick and a cement base. However, despite the appearance, it's not real brick. I honestly don't know what it is; I just know it's hollow. I chose to take this picture since I spend a good amount of time at my work, so I might as well get some homework done while I'm there. Also, seeing it so empty made it feel like it was a neutral enough background for me to include in this post. Would I work with this background for an installation? No. Although it would be cool to make a grunge scenery, I doubt that I'll be able to pull off an installation at my work lol. This is a picture of the right side of the Gaming House lobby. I chose specifically this area because I also spend a good amount of time here. This is the one area I'll spend time with friends to game and/or chit-chat. This area is neutral in its surrou

*Draft* Final Project - Self-Designed New Media Work

 One of the projects I would like to do is some sort of animation. I would like to tie this in with my Advanced Drawing class assignment since I plan on doing a somewhat animation for that. I would be starting these projects around the same time but ending the Advanced Drawing project earlier than this final project, so instead of dropping it, I can continue it in this class. I would draw out 3 seconds worth of animation on the sketchpads provided for us from that class, and then continue the animation on a software. I don't think I will actually get through a whole song, but I anticipate at least getting a part of a song animated. Some songs on my mind are the bridge + ending for Taylor Swift's Now That We Don't Talk , the chorus for Marina and the Diamond's Froot , or some part of an Olivia Rodrigo song (not sure which song of hers).  Another project I had in mind was combining 2D and 3D things in a photo. I would take multiple pictures of random activities or exchang
