That Fall Feeling

For this project I wanted to capture how I feel during the fall. I chose to have a picture of myself in pajamas, holding a cup of steaming hot tea with my eyes closed. Fall is a time to get cozy and it always makes me feel sleepy to be in the nice cool weather (unfortunately it has not been cool recently.) For my movement I added a steam effect on my cup and additionally used a leaf and the particle world tool to make it look like it was raining leaves. All of this is just to convey the feeling I get when the leaves start to change color and fall off the trees. 

Kelsey McGoldrick- Insomnia

 

This piece is about the struggle of not being able to sleep at night due to Insomnia. It really focuses on my constant reliance of caffeine in order to be awake during the day. I wanted the background to be clearly the day, it was taken early in the morning and I am sleeping in the cup, symbolizing my tiredness during the day. I used motion to show the steam from my tea cup in order to really immerse me into the space.

    For this project I wanted to create a sense of unnerve in my video, I wanted to capture a bunch of ideas to represent how sometimes I feel overwhelmed with being pulled in different directions by my mind. I also wanted to play with some ideas of the iconic Greek theater masks of tragedy and comedy, since those were used to express a characters emotions on stage I wanted to use them while expressing my emotions. Other details such as the clouds and ripped up background add to the sense of unease and turmoil I wanted to convey. All of this is to just embody the feeling of being pulled in different directions and the anxiety/stress that can overwhelm because of it.

Distractions by Brooklyn Presnell

For this project I wanted to focus on the issue I face everyday: being distracted by social media. I chose to have myself sitting on the couch with my laptop, notebooks, and planner open around me yet I am staring at my phone. In the background you can hear several TikTok sounds playing as lights flash on my face from the changing videos. My concept was to really emphasize how I am on my phone watching tiktoks or scrolling through instagram when I have more important things I should be doing.

*THERE IS SOUND*

 

Khang Transformative Portrait

 My concept for the transformative portrait was based on the uncertainty of a blank canvas. As artists we find road blocks in our creativity and find that making new ideas is often very daunting. I wanted to capture that uncertainty by creating a portrait of myself where I'm unsure of what mediums and marks will be most suitable for my next work of art.

Fireplace Scenery, Avery Wallace

 

For this project, I wanted to create a romantic scene as both my stepfather, and mother hold hands and look out into the night sky as they witness the moon and shooting stars pass by. Each layer is a moving layer while using video from the porch and the moving photos from the night sky. While time seems to move the same from where they sit, they look beyond the night sky to see the wonders of space, and to share those wonders with each other. The moon was borrowed from the library of congress, the comets were drawn in through after effects, and the sounds were used from the Youtube Creator Studio audio library.

For this transformative portrait, I decided to film it on a train and have the view out the window rapidly changing as if it were moving.  This piece is supposed to represent time moving too fast. I took this footage when I was recently in my hometown in Massachusetts. This trip reminded me of the past and how things have changed so much since moving here. It reminded me that feeling at home in multiple places is something to be grateful for, and how parts of me remained the same or changed for the better as I've gotten older.
