Project 11: Stop Animation

This project was to create a short stop motion video. When I first heard of this project I immediately thought of baking. There are so many things you can do with baking, so that's what I did. I created a short video where I make waffles. I used a combination of iMotion and iMovie to create this video. On iMotion I filmed the video using both time-lapse and manually taking photos. I had a little trouble with the app because it's very easy to film the clips out of order. I had to go to iMovie to rearrange the  clips in the right order and to add in transitions, music, and titles. Enjoy!

Project 10: Utopia vs Dystopia Silent Films

For this project we created two films using small clips and making them into thirty second videos. One video is portraying Portland as a utopia, and the other video as a dystopia. I had lots of fun with this project. Together, as a class, we walked around downtown Portland taking videos of scenes and subjects that would make Portland seem as if it were one extreme or another.

Project 10: Prework, Utopia vs. Dystopia

Utopia

The definition of utopia is a perfect society. For my project, this means I will take shots in the bright light of clean and beautiful buildings in downtown Portland. Plants are also a good way of conveying a feeling of peace and beauty, so I will probably be putting some shots of plants downtown.

Dystopia
The definition of dystopia is when everything is bad and unpleasant. For my project, this means I'll take shots of anything dirty. Like garbage cans, garbage, dark parking garages, etc.

Project 9: Magazine

In this project we created a magazine about a topic of our choice. I chose to do my magazine on nature, and named it Exploring Nature. I put in pictures from Oregon and Utah. I had just gone on a short trip to Utah when this project was assigned, so I had a lot of pictures from the trip. I also focused on Multnomah falls, hence the cover. I'd got a lot of great shots from a hike my family and I went on when I was creating this, so I was able to use the pictures in this magazine.
