Stop Motion Animation

Ellie and I did a collaboration for our stop motion animation combining two ideas, called "Modern Childhood." We started out with the idea of me driving the invisible boat mobile to pick her up, but then decided to add a twist. We incorporated the idea of Uber tied with the invisible boat mobile, combining modern transportation with a well known childhood "transportation". After dropping Ellie off at her location, I picked up my next rider, Gabby, and proceeded to drive and do my job as an Uber driver. This project was overall a fun experience and I enjoyed getting the opportunity to use my creativity, in combination with Ellie's, to create something funny for others to enjoy. :)

Grid Art Project

Image
For my grid project, I decided to go with pixelating a picture of the cartoon version of Cinderella's Princess Castle from the Disney movie. I originally tried to find a picture that would represent New Jersey, being thats where I am from and I love it, but nothing worked well with either too little of colors, or consisted of too many colors making it another level of complicated. Therefore, I chose to go with Cinderella's Castle. Disney has always played a large part in my childhood, and now is having the same presence in my little sister's life as well. Disney represents something so big; family, happiness, and imagination, all of which are extremely important to me. This project was difficult, in a way, when trying to match colors to get as close as possible to the original. I constructed my own grid by measuring each square, equalling a 12x18 pixelated image, and used colored pencils to create the image. For some squares, I had to mix several colors in order to...

Stage Door Blog Comments

      One of my favorite broadway videos I got to watch on this website was the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" performance. Although this video wasn't the full experience, I was blown away by only watching the two minute clips taken throughout the various scenes and pieced together to form this short trailer. I was truly amazed and taken a back from the exquisiteness of the sceneries this performance displayed. The scene where Charlie walks the streets was displayed perfectly with the rundown appearance and gloomy feel you take away when watching the movie. I was especially taken a back when the scene displayed the taste testing room, where it appears to look like a valley of grass, hills, and trees, but everything is edible. This scene captured the true scene which is hard to display on stage, but this team managed to do it exquisitely! The colors of the lighting within the scenes were bright and colorful, filling the spectrum and having the audience truly experien...

Evolution of File Sharing

Peer-to-peer file sharing has been around for quite some time now. Starting way back, it became more prominent within the early 2000’s as technology became more advanced. LimeWire was amongst one of the earliest platforms that allowed its users to share not only music, which is what it was predominantly used for, but also gave access to sharing movies, and other computer programs. Within the earlier 2000’s, when LimeWire was popularly used, it had millions of users sharing files on a day to day basis, myself included. For me, and like many others, LimeWire was a source used mainly to download popular songs onto my iPod and computer in order to create playlists without having to pay Apple $1.99 to download each and every song I wanted to have at my fingertips. With this way of freely downloading music, comes the disadvantage and destruction it causes to the artists that make up the music industry. Unfortunately, LimeWire had become under the watchful eye of authorities due to copyrig...
