I am writing this on October 10. This is October 7ths blog assignment for the New Media class. I have decided to make this a light and fun assignment for me to do while I manage my time. Class has been all good, except for Erik’s Interactive. No offence to Erik, it’s just that coding isn’t really an enjoyable thing for me. I’ve forced myself to learn it in 2017 and hated it ever since…but enough of that. Let’s talk about the homework which was the mashup piece.
I used a combination of digital art, animation and a bit of audio/video to make my final product. It is a video of an animation of the art I traced, then I pieced together from a meme. Confusing? Here. Let me try to make it easier.
Meme -> I traced the meme and pieced it to be ready for animation -> I put it into AE to animate it -> I added audio -> I exported it as a video.
I hope that makes sense. I this piece sums up how I feel for the whole course from my experience right now. I’m enjoying it so far. The homework isn’t unreasonable and the deadlines are set with a ton of time in-between but woo boy; coding. There wasn’t a whole lot of set backs besides my own laziness, but thankfully I managed to pull through before it was due. Yippee!
Below you’ll see what I’ve done. I hope you enjoy it, dear reader.
