Sound Visualizations: Phase 4

For This project I used the Stranger Things Theme and mashed it with a Soundtrack to Tron Legacy.   The  Stranger Things’ legato rhythm paired with the Staccato rhythm of the Tron soundtrack  create a whole new sound with the Electronic and Synth  Wave tones present in both audio clips, the intention of this project was to bring out the nostalgic elements with 80s synth wave with the rhythm picking up in intensity with the animation moving in perfect synchronization. Total Amount of time Worked on 12 Hrs 14 minutes 45 seconds.

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 1

My low key value photo  was of a aluminum water bottle standing on top a light table, The photo has a predominantly dark visual background along with the light table to provide a radiant contrast with the main point of focus being the bottle creating an upward shadow to give the picture a more defined low-key value. The shape of the bottle is visible enough in the picture to be identified as the light coming from the table bounces off the bottle, at the same time the bottle blends in with the shadow giving it noir undertones.

My second Photo retains a more vibrant setting as the light table illuminates the circuit box and the shapes stand out more, Displaying high contrast ratios with minimum shadows making it a perfect high key value, It’s simplicity and high contrast give it a more upbeat mood to a simple picture of a painted over circuit.

Sound Visualization: Phase 1

In my Sketch i visualized the beginning of the song as an Orb of repetition as the song starts of with a beat that brings a nostalgic feeling. The spiral with the various iterations along represent the Beats as the song spaces out the beat at least six times in a mid-tempo beat, Other sounds in the sketch visualize the Lo-Fi elements to bring out the nostalgia in the song with the dark and light stars and orbs to simulate the Ascending and Descending sparkling tones. In conclusion the Spiral itself represents the catch, Upon hearing at first it can sound a bit off-key but as the song progresses you can hear the rhythm and little sounds that accompany it in the Song.
