Design Project 3 heavily involved coding (using Arduino and Processing), Illustrator drawings, physical making, stop motion photography and video editing. So lots of technical studies there. All on the blog. http://www.tleecitizensensor.blogspot.com.

I MADE ANOTHER MOVIE
In September this year, I was in Japan on a holiday, when I drove up through the Tohoku region with friends, the northeastern coastal area affected hugely by the disastrous events in March. I had my digital camera and iPhone in hand, thus accumulating some footage of our three-day trip, with which I promised to compile a video. And I did. Finished just last week, I edited the (mostly playful) video to show what we got up to.
I feel I've got some experience on my side now, having made 7 or 8 of these shorts, and I'm beginning to understand what makes good engaging video. Of course, without any conventional study at all, I can't articulate what techniques or tricks I've used and all that, but I think that through the relationship of the visuals and selected music (which is super important), I've been able to capture the emotion felt at the time and also control the emotion to evoke for the video audience. This I'm sure I have been improving upon video after video, and am taking great interest from.

I MADE A MOVIE
Over the last year or so, I've been making some personal movies for myself and for JFC (the youth football club at which I work). I have only been working on the relatively simple application iMovie, but I've been learning and enjoying the movie-making process through these personal projects. I think it's something I would love to develop further and maybe there will be a Technical Studies workshop for it, though there doesn't seem to be one this term. In the meantime, this is my most recent movie (and my longest) finished just this week, using footage from our JFC summer trip to the countryside with some of the boys. With hours and hours of video to work with, I made a 23 minute film with six chapters, encapsulating the feel and vibe of the trip as well as capturing our actual activity across the weekend sleepover.
