fall

Sitting in class, waiting for the final to start. It has been a very good, but busy semester. Fall is most definitely my favorite season of the year, and I’m a little sad that it’s almost over.

Did some interesting projects here and there over the semester. My first attempt at using Game Maker for my Game Studies class project ended up being quite hilarious and somewhat frustrating, but overall beneficial and informative.

You are free to download and try out my very first game, called, “World of Color,” here. It’s less of a “complete” game and more of an exploration of the basic functions and first-time uses of Game Maker. I would like to expand on it one day. I learned a lot about the software, and I think there’s definite potential to make something pretty cool if I keep experimenting with the program.

Also did a collaborative project with a partner for my Game Studies class. This is a web-based story/game, called The Lost Panda. You can try it out here (yes, I drew all the pictures).

Still doing plenty of dance-related activities and events.

school and updates and such

I keep telling myself to keep updating here with my recent work, but it never really goes through. The Fall semester has been starting up very well, and I’ve been dancing, working, school-ing, and overall staying busy here and there. I’m having a very good time!

A photo of my partner Josh and I at Pacific Grand Ball about 2 weeks ago:

Also, here are a couple photos of professionals Victor Fung and Anastasia Muravyeva performing at PGB. It was awesome. =D

I have many photo highlights from PGB, but still around 500 backlogged that I still have to upload. I am slowly, but surely, going through them all.

Also, Halloween is almost here, but I can’t stop thinking about Christmas!!!!!!!

video project: dance narrative/non-narrative

I turned in my first video project for my digital media class a couple of weeks ago, and it was received by the class pretty well. I was very relieved and surprised.

The theme for my videos is dance. My first set of videos is a quick and basic Lindy-Hop how-to:

For the next set, I tried to explore repetition and remixing to see if I could get any interesting effects or reactions:

My next video project involves doing something a bit out of my comfort zone, but I’ll try to experiment and see if I can produce some interesting work again. I have found that working under pressure results in good stuff.
