Narroration!

So for this weeks work we had to create a Narrative. So I did the stages of a lighter when it is being light. It really did a job on my thumb and pointer finger, cause man I lit those lighters alot! I didn't get the exact forms I wanted (kept on being 'too in-tune' with the camera shutter burst) from the flame but still got some interesting shots out of them.

The small version doesn't do justice so check out the large version here or you can be even more dangerous and try out full res here!

Surveillance?

So this weeks project was to do something about surveillance, totally do what ever you want kind of thing. Praise it, bash it, criticize it, ignore it, what ever you want to do.

So I got into thinking about how many times you are captured in a normal day on camera. Then I got thinking about crime and like witnesses and how people's view on a subject, just from where they witnessed it, can be so different. So that's why I took these 4 pictures, just to represent the point of view can be so different even if it is just one room.

Radicalizing out cellphones!

So for our first assignment in my MADT 101 class (Media Art and Digital Technology) we are suppose to do something with our cellphones that is radically different from what they were originally made to do. Our hitch is that we can't break them!
So on the way home from our first class, me, Colby, and Tasha thought up the idea to use our cellphones to create music. The original idea that I got out of it was to use them to like play instruments. By Saturday afternoon when we spent the day doing it, it turned into a whole song.

The whole thing is just around a minute, and only uses our 3 cellphones and our voices to make the sounds. We recorded it in GarageBand on a mac and the only tweaking that was done was the pitch on 2 of the vibrates tracks. All other sounds are natural to what they would sound like in real life.

Don't expect to see a live show of this anytime soon, we would need more people to do that and phones that continually vibrate!

So we are the Mobileers and this our song, The Dyna 8000X (for appreciation to the very first cell phone ever made), and our adventures making it.





Seeing how loud a phone vibrating a glass sounds.



Playing with our phones vibrate.


Finding out how a phone is the most annoying type of pick that was ever made


Fiddling with final touch ups of the song (and going a little crazy for how long this is taking).

I still have to figure how to host it and then post it up for your ears to enjoy.
