Ways of Seeing – FYLC Fall 2018
First Year Learning Community
Description: the two songs the I choose were lil skies- lust and Daniel Caesar – get you. I included movements of the pieces and rotation as well. I wish I had done a little more with the opacity and phasing.
Hours: I spent about 4 days working on this project.
Description: I included a change in the size throughout the animation. I also included a whole bunch of opacity. I also feel as if the movement of my image is different from most other animations.
Hours: I spent a total of 3 days on this project
Description: My animation includes a whole bunch of swirls and triangles. I also put two songs called “Stargazing” by travis Scott and “Zeze” By Kodak Black. I did more of a freelance moving with my animations. I included a little bit of opacity but the movement makes up for that.
Hours: I spent about 4 days working on this project.
New Lab was filled with many interesting creations and inventions from many different company’s. One of the things I saw and remembered the most was the U Farm shelf. Most good that you by at your local market or restaurants, travel 1500 miles before they are prepared to eat. Eating Fresh grown food is better for the environment and its healthier. With Farm shelf, you are able to almost effortlessly grow ur own food where you live,work, or commune.I think this a really cool, because you could also learn a little about how to farm and grow food.
What I learned from the field trip to New lab would be about the how helpful the place is to different companies and be used as a work area and resource, such as with getting materials or the usage of 3D printing for prototype models. On our way there what really became interesting was the entrance, it was eye-catching to see something castle like related in a place where new inventions or future product are being made.
For the animation, its 10 seconds long of moving all the parts of the images. At first, this was quite difficult mainly because I want sure how to compose the images. One can be turning, another sliding to the right or left, another becoming bigger, some fading and some not. All of this was playing around with throughout the project. While it was difficult to choose in the end I am satisfied with how it came out along that I picked 1 song for staccato and kept the song for legato, once the songs where in place it becomes more clearer how I would enjoy the pieces to move around and when. Overall hours worked was 5 hours.
One thing I learned about the trip was that metal 3d printing exists but it’s very dangerous. Which is why companies choose to make prototypes of their products in plastic. In the experience of walking there, it made me think of the juxtaposition between old and new. The New lab was very advanced and technology-based while the exterior of the buildings outside seemed old. The one thing that caught my attention was the color of these plants and the doorway looking brand new, modern compared to the old brick wall that had vines growing on it. Personally, I find this very pretty because the color is the first thing that attracts my attention, then the door that has a black frame and the white curtain has a “simple” look with good contrast.

Song used: See You again instrumental, and Idfc instrumental
The animation is 10 seconds long. I tested out many songs to go with this animation but there were only two that fit together along with fitting in with the animation. I have spinning images and some are wiggly. Then theres a few that are fade ins and most of them enter from the side. Overall i spent around 5 hours and is satisfied.
The first photo is the new lab and second is the farm shelf that was on the second floor outside of the 3d printing room. I liked the farm shelf. You can easily grow plants here and instead of gardening you can use the farm shelf. You wouldn’t need to wait weeks to get plants transferred to the city. Also instead of paying, you can grow your own. It makes farming available wherever you are, like the city where farms don’t exist. They even grow faster than it would in fields. It is also small and does not take up many space.
Duration: 30 minutes
Took me a while to try not to get ink smushed.
