I think she's trying to tell us something.

Here is another attempt, this time in Flash

A map/game of my mind. Made in Adobe Illustrator.
The title is "Defragmentation"

aftereffects and green screen

more refined sound

our practice with illustrator

If the sound sounds like it was edited by a deaf person, well... it was. The sound was not on on my computer as I worked on this at school. This is a test. I repeat: this is a test.

"Just Me and My Tea"

without distracting sounds

First few unedited seconds. The sound is unrelated, I just wanted to see how it would export from Premier

more later images

later version

Storyboard. Very confusing. Perhaps I'll make a better one later.

hopefully smoother now

 Robo-Maria from Metropolis--just gets twitchier

not quite as smooth as I'd like, perhaps more polishing in the future.

This is my first and very poorly done animation using an open source software called "Pencil" and Photoshop to save it as a .gif. I am sure there are simpler methods of saving these for the web, but I havn't learned them yet. The two characters to the right are not meant to represent any specific individual, real or imagined.

again, with a few adjustments to the text and the background castle.

This one went really wild with the colors, because of Cassiopeia and a filter.

This is my final result… so far!

Here is the 'in progress' version of the current project.

Here are some images made in class as a way to mess around with various tools on photoshop.

          For my piece I’d like to tell the story of how growing up is like a journey. I want to use an island castle to symbolize childhood, and a shipwreck to symbolize how a person, willing or not, cannot return to their childhood. The sea and boat would be a metaphor for the adolescent journey out of childhood, and the fact that it was a one-man boat shows how we all have to figure out who we’re going to be on our own. The ‘new’ land upon which the principle character is beached symbolizes adulthood, and the new journeys, dangers, and possibilities it presents. I might use a sequence, or I might put all this information into one image. It kinda depends on the project parameters and on what kind of images I find.

These are all photos taken by me, except the sunset one, taken by my friend's father.

cybercity and rainbow!

First one is a parody of a scene from Silence of the Lambs, and the second is my very own cute dog.

hmmm...

"I am Heather Laurence, and I am burdened with a glorious purpose..."

 

At first the items were layered over their matching items, but moving them off into the air around my head not only displays that I could do the tasks of the assignment, but also suggest some sort of story. Am I thinking about the Bible and my nose?
