Out of all of these I don't know what to really talk about. I liked every one of these sites and the music players for particular reasons. The first one reminds me so much of Jordan's project. I love the fact that it is more elaborate but simple in design. You're having a great jam session using riffs that blend well with the background music. The interaction with the crowd is a great addition because instead of him just saying whatever, he is actually singing the praise.

The second link really attracted me for some of the same reasons as the first one. The turn tables are great and the music itself are in sync. I wish there was more variety in the piece. They start to do it with the little mixing buttons for melodies but it doesn't do anything for me musically.

I love moodstream by gettyimages simply because of the pictures that appear randomly that go together with the musical mood. I love that concept so much that I want to do a jump off of that if possible. I wish it was more visual as far as switching off the images to something mathematically made from the music itself.

Potential Project Idea

I really don't know what I want to do for a project that deals with audio. Right now I feel burnt out on some major ideas. I know that I would love to do some original compositions using Garage Band and some track sampling from some bands. Some of the cool features that I saw while navigating the links on the main blog was music sites with great visualizations. I love the fact that you can click on a certain menu and the music would change to that particular mood. I want something like that with the edibility of the turn tables. Something simple that is easy for users to navigate and get into. I don't want anything complicated that a normal person can't understand because there are a few sites I feel will just blow up in their minds.

ASSIGNMENT WRITE UP PHOTO BOOTH

I must admit the fact that we did a photo booth as an assignment was pretty cool. In the beginning when first hearing the idea I thought it was going to be complete shit. I mean come on....a photo booth? How many times has that been done? Once the ball got rolling I was pretty happy. I got to sit down and help design some cool cards for the event and Scottie was down with helping with the printing. The fact that Anthony and Michael were confident enough to tackle the action scripting made the experience a lot easier. It could have been ten times worse. The set up of the monitors and cameras were pretty smooth sailing and the overall mood thanks to certain items made it that much of an experience for the visitors. Scaring the crap out of them was fun. Some of the major mishaps I wish didn't happen was the naming system of the pictures. That part fell on me and the fact that the pictures all started over at one without any names confused me when posting. It took forever to match faces through Facebook and memory. That could be improved. Another thing is talking to the visitors a bit too long before they went in. It should be a smooth transition from person to person. I wish the tape would've been pressed off when no one was in there and then resumed because there is a lot of wasted tape that could've helped us in capturing the elusive Duran. We will get you next time.

Peer Reviews

Overall there is no complaints about the work done by the group. Nothing bad to report on. We all pulled our weight. Me and the Scottie did the press releases as far as cards, posters and making the blog. Anthony and Mike did the code which looks good to me. Also another side note is that Scottie provided the curtain and such. So everyone pulled their weight.

new interface

By all means this isn't a complete interface there are still some things that I want to fix before everything is said and done. Like when you enter I need to stop the interface so you can click the blue dot and go to the next scene. Also add some content to the end scene and beyond. *Sorry for the small text I don't know why it is doing that. The resolution is 1024 x 768*

Revisions

On the revisions end. I basically just added on to one of them but the others were adding in code that would help it function properly. Nothing major. I enjoy the fact that some of it is still wonky to show my progression from where I started until now. Mainly just the sake of review committees.

Video Script

Overall I didn't have much problem with the video script at all thanks to how simple it is. I searched around for a way to try and make the actual video black and white through script but haven't found it. I think that would've set the project off a little more. I still want to tweak the volume system and have the little black button at the bottom to the right cut the television on and off.

ASS IN MEANT RIGHT UP

Overall I enjoyed making this little animation because I was able to focus on one of the aspects of Dante's Purgatorio. I recommend the book to anyone that hasn't read it yet. I tried to keep the coding simple and the animation to a minimum. Didn't want to overwork myself. The hard part was basically making frame by frame for a lot of it in Illustrator so it could have a particular style. I added different subtle effects on the second scene but I don't know if it will show up. One thing I just found out was that the fonts on the computer wasn't the same as the one of my computer so some of my text is messed up. I can just re upload the file later with the corrections.

HEY JILL!

Personally Jill I am sorry that this isn't the best animation ever. I've spent time working on the code to get it just right thanks to Micheals. Later on in the animation I will have many more symbols and such going on. For right now I'm just very happily tired mass of poo poo on the platter brain melting away. That means it is really early and I'm just happy that I got this far. I will add more. To operate it click and drag the rock into the left corner of the grass to toss it. Sorry it is confusing.
