Upside Down-town Camera Obscura

Holly and I decided to pick my bedroom for this project since you can see the view of downtown. At first, I was a little skeptical how this would turn out. I have seen so many examples of this working but I couldn't imagine actually doing it myself. I put 8 garbage bags on my window with duct tape. In the center of the garbage bags I cut a hole and taped the end of the garbage bag box on the top layer to create a square shape. Cutting the holes out was an arm workout since there were so many layers but once I finished, the light came in and I was amazed. I never thought I could have created a piece of artwork like this in my own bedroom. The coolest part was seeing cars drive by and the picture would have movement. Overall, this was a fascinating project that I enjoyed.

Selfie Poster

I made a poster of myself using tracing tools on Adobe Illustrator. I decided to make three different versions. I had a different idea of what I originally wanted to do which included blowing bubble gum. I had a hard time making the bubble visible so I used a selfie instead. I enjoyed creating these. The top left is what Santi played with in class.

Animation

On this project, we had to create a 60 second long animation with 600 frames. I spent up to 50 hours on this project. I hand painted almost each frame which was very time consuming. It was worth it in the end and I'm very happy with what I have created. I ended up submitting this to the Black Box Film festival and I won an award for Best Animation

Autoscopy Project

Image
I used photoshop for the first time since Freshmen year of High School. I struggled a bit figuring out the tools so this project took me some time. Back home, I always joke around with how I am the golden child out of all my siblings. I have my three siblings in the right corner and I am highlighted in gold. I organized each layer so I wasn't confused. I played around with the original background so it doesn't look like the original. I did this with the halo and cloud as well. I also smudged my teeshirt so it didn't say "deegee" on it. I like the way this project turned out.
