2D Animation
Our assignment in Graphic Effects: Create a 15 second animated commercial for DSU using Director; use cut-out pictures and place a white border around them.
Holly Smith and I joined our creative efforts together to create a commercial for DSU, featuring the Theater Department. We kind of made it look like a puppet show, where the people rock back-and-forth when they talk. It ended up being a little over 90 seconds and seemed to take forever, but we think it looks awesome and are very excited about the way it turned out. Enjoy!
Note: This is not the commercial Noah Sanderson and I are in that will air on KSFY soon. That commercial can be found
here.
Recycled Percussion
The group
Recycled Percussion came to campus last night. Let me just say, they were awesome! I am a percussionist (and have participated in DSU's band) and so I felt like I could truly appreciate their talent. Mainly because I'm not even close to being as talented of a drummer as they are! Basically, they were like the group Stomp, only younger, just 3 drummers and a DJ, and 10x better. One of their drummers was the "World's Fastest Drummer" - 21 strokes per second. They played on garbage cans, fire extinguishers, ladders, and used power tools. They even used their bodies as instruments (not in a flatulence way!) and beatboxed perfectly. It all was an incredible sight/sound/experience. DSU students, faculty, Madison residents, and area residents were in attendance! The organization SAB (Student Activities Board) brought them to campus. They're just one talent of many that SAB checks out and brings to DSU for everyone's enjoyment. Other things they've done/brought to campus: Homecoming planning, comedians, musical groups, Comedy Bytes (DSU's Improvisation Group), and many others. I'm a member of SAB and can say it's really satisfying to see so many people enjoy something you helped plan!
