In the end [Edited]

In the end [Edited] This is the song that my partner and I will be doing, we chose the song because it is almost an American Classic. The video is a little weird but we will make sense of it in our video.

Suicide Poster This has been one of my favorite posters so far this year. The reason being so is because for the first time it is a really serious topic were trying to advertise here, so in this case less is more, and that is why it is my favorite. I enjoy working on fancy and elaborate works, but my favorite type of work is something simple yet effective, just like in this poster. In addition, what made this poster yet more serious is the fact that it is dealing with perhaps the most serious issue any 9human face, which is none less than suicide. I think my poster can be a little much more simple than others, however I believe that what I am trying to convey is clear and effective. That is because I have different hands from different people from different ages, ethnicity and colors all joining the center showing that no matter who you are, you are never alone and their is always help for you.

Suicide Prevention Proposal

My idea for the suicide prevention proposal is to create something simple, therefore I don't want it to be something colorful or playful since the topic is a very serious one. I personally believe the more simple, the better for this poster, so I am planning on having all these different hands reaching the center of the poster to where their is apparently one lonely hand. Coming from the lonely hand will be a thought bubble that says "Alone", however their will be many hands reaching to that hands to show that person isn't the only one. The purpose of the poster is to demonstrate that you are never alone and that their is always help for you no matter who you are. Also I want my hands to be from all kinds of colors to demonstrate that this can happen to anyone, and to also demonstrate that everyone (no matter what your and what their ethnicity is) is also out there to help you. (Mr.Mutter, i post this as a comment on my previous blog because it wouldn't let me post it as a different blog, but i will copy and paste it into a new blog tomorrow in class. Just have it here so you can cee I did it.)

Game On Reflection

Personally this has been my favorite video we've watched this whole year in multimedia class. The video was interesting right from the beginning because I really did not have a single clue how the whole game world started. Even though I'm not much of a game person, I have played some of the games mentioned in the movie and I find it very interesting that video game industry has improved dramatically as a result of the competition among companies. For example, I would have never thought that Mario and Sonic were each others competition in the game industry because they were from totally different companies. I l really liked the video as a whole, but I found the last part a little confusing as in regards to who had the lead on each other. That's because because they talked about the playstation, playstation 2, the xbox and the wii almost right after another. In conclusion the video was really interesting and no matter what my favorite game of all times has been Mario Karts.

Flash CS3 Games

http://tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Create-a-Racing-Game-Without-a-3D-Engine/70222
-This link is the tutorial to the road to what would be a racing game.  It can not be considered a racing game because the racing car is missing. Instead it just an illusion that your racing because the road is moving and there is also up and down hills to make it feel like if you were racing.

http://tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Build-a-Physics-Based-Platformer-in-Under-an-Hour/66033
-This game is based on the most simple form of physics, where you create a little blue hero who has to jump and get all the coins that are hanging from bars. To move the little hero, however you have to use the arrow keys and it becomes somewhat complicated manipulating the little hero because it seems as if gravity kicks in and moves your little hero further than you desire.

http://tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Scary-maze-game-in-Actionscript-3/57360
-The purpose of this game is to create a scary maze, and in order for people to pass the scary maze they have to drag the courser the whole way without touching the boundaries at all or they loose.

Kony Poster

For this project we had to create our own poster advertising the "making famous of Kony". After watching a 30 minute video about how this Kony guy is doing really bad things, yet people are unaware of him, we were given the assignment to create our own posters in regards to him. I think this has been the funnest and most enjoyable project this year. Especially after coming out of a big project were we were given a time-line the whole time. I have to admit I had fun doing this project, I actually enjoyed playing around with the poster, finding the best colors for it and it was also very relaxing in other words, stress free. So far this has been my favorite project this year.

Kony Movie Reflection

-I personally had never heard about this guy, until just recently. I had heard just seen a picture of the guy by a small glance I had in sisters facebook when I was walking by her (since i don't have a facebook myself). So therefore the picture of the guy was familiar when i saw it in the movie, but I didn't know who he was or what he did. To be honest, I think this is shocking to know that their is a guy out there who is forcing small kids to kill their family and parents. I'm shocked because I don't understand how he is even able to do this. I mean after all, his victims are little kids ages probably less than 10. I also think its a great idea to let the whole world know who this guy is, because like they said in the movie, he is invisible and if his invisible then no  one will ever know who he is and therefore he will continue committing crimes just like he has for the past 26 years.

Harlem Renaissanse Reflection



-What do you like/dislike about  ?
 I don't think  their was really anything I disliked about this project. Maybe the hardest thing about this project was at the beginning, when we were still undecided about which one of the three project options to do. On the other hand, what I liked the most about this project was that even though at times it got a little complicated, we are having a little extra free time now towards the end.
-What are your challenges ?
Perhaps the biggest challenge for this project was deciding what to do, like I already mentioned.
-How is your group ?
I really liked the way our group worked for the fact that the project wasn't too stressing and we were able to work out the work pretty much evenly. My partner Bary is a little more computer knowledge gifted, but in the end we worked it evenly.
-What do you still need to do ?
Since our project was the Harlem Renaissance's project we had an earlier due date than everybody else, so we are done with the project now.
-What would your grade be today ?
Since we are completely done now, and we have made all corrections and improvements we've been told to do so. I am confident our grade is an A. Now, by the second time the second time the reflections rolled around, I am more than positive our grade is more than likely an A.

short story film

This project was by far the hardest project we did in this class. I have to admit i kind of slacked of and that is why at the end i was getting all stressed up because i thought i just wont be able to make it on time. Maybe if I would  have manage my time correctly I wouldn't have stressed out like I did. On more thing that i also have to comment about this project was that looking for good pictures in flickr was no easy task. Sometimes the pictures had nothing to do with what you were looking for and often the good pictures that did, the owner had disabled them. It was most definitely a challenging and time consuming project.
