We finished our Locative Media project the week before we got out of school for Fall break which I enjoyed because of the subject and creativity of the project and I’m eager to start working on the final project as I currently am working on a website for my photography portfolio which ties in closely […]
I currently have no big projects I am working on for this class. The only assignment I am working on is the photo-a-day assignment. This week’s photo-a-day theme is people panoramic. For this theme, you have to go off campus and get panoramic pictures of people. The themes that make you go off campus are […]
Today I am writing about the Locative Media project, because it was the last production project we worked on in class. The project was very interesting and really made me think about different types of media. My project specifically was an interactive experience around Kittredge in which the audience was placed on a traditional pirate […]
Winding down on the semester, we now only have 3 weeks left to complete assignments and create content. The class is currently working on ethics which I find very interesting considering how often ethical questions come into play regarding our daily lives.

The “Warcraft Adventures” article describes the rise of the Machinima movement, which is the art of filmmaking/storytelling through video games. Through Machinima, users can record their own gaming experiences and edit them to create original stories, or they can broadcast their gaming to a live audience. While reading this article, I was fascinated because this […]

This includes monuments and statues and other large visual objects that regularly are available to the public eye. The article also refers to the flood of rhetoric regularly experienced in which eventually individuals need to create […]
Friedberg’s reading on urban mobility and cinematic visuality was the most interesting reading we did in the past two weeks.
