Cinemagraph Planning

  So when it comes to planning, some times I have the hardest time either planning or things come to mind very quickly. In this case, I had the hardest time coming up with ideas. I wanted each GIF to be challenging but I also wanted them to be doable. After continually rethinking what I […]

Final Project Planning

  Hi there! So its time to plan my final project! I wanted to stick with GIFs because I really enjoy making and I think its fun to capture just a small moment in time. I also really enjoy getting them to loop as much closely as possible. So when I was starting to plan […]

Marco Brambilla

Marco’s work was trippy. I first watched his work creation and I was really intrigued by it. It kind of reminded me of some of the Spy Kids movies that I watched when I was a kid. This is a short clip but I would actually like to see the entire video at some point. […]

Evan Roth

Internet Landscapes: Sydney I really thought this piece was interesting. When I first went to his website I thought that this was just going to be images that he edited. I thought the first picture looked like blood vessels. But they are all videos of moving landscapes with a track of audio laid over. It […]

Doodle Waves

I loved this project! I actually did something similar to this for my Design Principles class last fall, but I actually made a flipbook out of found GIFs. So I was excited to tackle this project. Unfortunately I ran into a creative block. I didn’t know what to draw. I’m not very good at drawing […]

GIF Mainia Take 2

Hi there! I loved making these GIFs! GIFs weren’t a new concept to me, I’ve made them for numerous classes throughout my time here at UMW (one post can be found over here). I am used to creating GIFs with found footage (clips of videos I’ve grabbed from YouTube) so it was a challenge for me […]

Jason Salavon

In my research of Jason, I found that he uses a lot of color. So I wanted to write about a few of his pieces that I thought used a lot of color in an interesting way. All the Ways (the Simpsons): I thought this was really interesting. Also really loud. I never thought to […]

A Boat Ride With Myself

This project was a lot of fun! I was home over fall break and I decided to go ahead and take photos while I was on out boat one day. It was hilarious trying to get the right angles for the photos. I ended up having to redo the whole thing the next day. But… Continue reading A Boat Ride With Myself

Waves of Distraction

Representational: Distraction For this one I wanted to show the distraction I have when I try to sit down and read. No matter what I do, 5 or 10 minutes into the book, I will start listening to music, go on my phone, or someone will call me. I can never solidly read very often.… Continue reading Waves of Distraction

Wafaa Bilial

Wafaa Bilial’s work was so interesting. As I was looking through his works, A Call really stood out to me. Its interesting to see how he premiered the work. His visa into Iran, so he started a video chat to show the work from New York. Another piece I thought was interesting was his work […]
