Ambitious Animation Batteries: Salvaged Data
This spring, I’ve been working on an animation that will connect with my previous animation from the fall. I’m focusing on the life of our main protagonist, who is gathering mining materials, which will come into play later on down the road. The image above is from the first scene; you may be wondering why […]
Ambitious Animation Batteries: Bonus Mission
Before I dive into a brand new animation, I wanted to add a little extra to my animation from the last cycle as I ran out of time since it took me a while to create the Eye of Cthulhu. I added around an extra second of animation time, but I feel like it ties […]
Ambitious Animation Batteries: Mission Complete
The full shebang is here! My animation is all finished and ready to be watched by you. In this scene, the overpowered player thinks nothing of the Eye of Cthulhu, chilling out in the stary night sky daydreaming. But then the boss battle goes down! This may be a short animation, but the leg movements […]
Ambitious Animation Batteries: Staring into the Eye of Cthulhu
The preparation work for this animation took a lot longer than I thought but with tedious adjustments and patience, the drawing above is what I created. In Adobe Illustrator, the trace image tool that I initially used led to a lot of miscolored parts and deformed sections. Because of that, I had to do a […]
Ambitious Animation Batteries: Fully Operational
Inspired by Youtube animations, I have made my first animation for the WAVE. An anti-aircraft battery has received a signal for some utility support. Failure is not acceptable in this upcoming mission. The results in this video will reveal the winner of this quest to dominate the airwaves. Stay tuned!
Ambitious Animation Batteries: Powering Up
Powering up… Checking internal integrity… Scanning surroundings… Fully operational… Relaying message… Begin sequence! Watching short simple animations online led me to think that I could do them myself. These animations didn’t have many frames, but they were really entertaining nonetheless. I have some experience using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere to make animations, but I […]
Pasted Mind: self-poisoning, pink
It was quite difficult to figure out which poem I wanted to use for my last collage of the summer. All the ones I had in mind were either too short, not edited enough, or so old that I didn’t like them anymore. What I ended up doing instead was combining two poems – one […]
Pasted Mind: aliens anonymous
If you asked me what, exactly, this poem is about, I couldn’t fully tell you. Not because it’s a grand secret or anything, just because I honestly don’t know. I love the aesthetic of space and the stars, and my dad and I are both conspiracy theorists at heart, so I think it was inevitable […]
Pasted Mind: pollinated in eden
If someone were to ask me which poem I’m most proud of from Sophomore year, it would be this one. I performed it for my Fall 2018 Spoken Arts show, Rights Write. It has gone through countless edits while still maintaining the same mystical, nature-y, nostalgic tone I aimed for. I wrote it about my […]
Pasted Mind: road trips to remember my life is not as big as i think it is
I wrote this poem based on a prompt asking me to “write about the summer using all five senses.” Of course, since the first draft, the poem has gone through many edits, and now only vaguely follows the prompt. The inspiration was a memory I have from summer of seventh grade, when I lived in […]
