Final video

Final Project

For this final assignment, I want to create a video that promote a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is very important for our body to stay healthy. When you exercise regularly, it will improve your everyday life performance. It will help you feel happier and find life more enjoyable. After exercise, your body loses a huge amount of water. Therefore, you should stay hydrated. Drinking water is a best method to refill the water that you lose during the exercise. Drinking water will also help cleanse your body and give you a good feeling. In conclusion, you should exercise and stay hydrated because it is good for you.

Filming this video was not really hard for me. I chose the background as my dorm and the school's riverside. I didn't spend that much time on filming as I thought. I also had Ocean's help filming the video while I was acting. I have a lot of fun making this video.

I kind of had a hard time editing this video because I had to familiarize myself with the video edit software. It took a lot of time for me to film and edit the video as well. I need to add filter into the scene which I spent  about an hour trying to find the way to do it. Because I'm not art major so editing video is not an easy task for me. But I finished it. Hope you enjoy my final video.

          My public performance video is about peace and relaxation. In the video, my girlfriend and I tried to portray yoga position. Yoga is the exercise that people do to relax. Because relaxation is very important for everyone. It is almost exam week, therefore, many student will be stressful about studying for there exam. By using yoga, I want to deliver the message of relax and peace in our school campus. When you are relaxing, it is good for your brain and also get works done fast.
          There are many performance artist in the world. Three of my favorite performance artist is Marina Abramovic, Joseph Beuys and Linda Mary Montano. Marina Abramovic is a Montenegrin performance artist. Her art is base on the connection between the performer and the audience. Joseph Beuys is German performance artist. His work is based on the social philosophy and the concept of human. Linda Mary Montano is American artist, who perform the relationship between art and life through her work.
          All three artist has one thing in common. It is their mentality. They all want to push the boundaries through art. They always try test the limit of their performance. Technology is not necessary an essential component in their performance. The main component they used is their body to portray their work. In the field of Performance Art, the answer to the question, "What is to be done", in my opinion is deliver the meaning of the performance.

A5 Assignment

            Since I was a kid, I really enjoy watching cartoon animation, specially Disney. Disney is one of the best animation company in the world. Everyone like Disney. There are many characters that have been created by Disney. However, Mickey Mouse still is my favorite character. Mickey is also a logo of Disney. I decide to create the Mickey Mouse Disney logo using my hands. I photocopy the palm of my hand to create the ears of Mickey Mouse. The rest of the logo I photocopy my arm and put it all together.

Robot

For this a
ssignment, I decided to do a 30 x 30 squares rock hooking. I created an image of a robot. I chose a robot because technology is growing nonstop in the past century. Technologies rapidly developed to meet the needs of many people. Many things are programmed for computer to do instead of human. It's more convenient for people. I think, in the future, there will be robots programmed to help people with the daily life jobs.

Soccer

This video is the 200 frames flip book stop animation about soccer and the ability to not give up. The man, in the beginning of the video, kicks the ball but he misses the goal. However, he does not let himself down because of his failure. Therefore, he decides to try again. He finally scores. Then he celebrates his goal. Through this stop animation video, I wants to show that we shouldn't allow failure to ruin your confidence. Instead, we need to stand up and try it again.

ASCII Art

          ASCII art is a design that consist of many pictures pieces or characters together to create a bigger picture. This type of art is also called "computer text art." It is a graphic design technique by computer for animation, movie or picture. The name ASCII is standing for American Standard Code For Information Interchange. The code was founded by the American National Standards Institute, also known as ANSI, in the beginning of 1960 as a way to present and read characters of Latin-based alphanumeric.

          It takes a lot of effort to create the ASCII art. However, you don't need to have a special software or program to make one. Many people simply used Window notepad, Microsoft Word, etc. It takes times to fit all the characters together to create a beautiful picture. Usually, the artist takes about 1 hour to 3 hour  for a small picture. You can change the slope of your picture by add or reduce characters from the image. Imagination is one of the key factor to create this type of art. Human imagination is limitless. Therefore, it gives your creation the uniqueness.

         When I first see ASCII art, I thought it is very different form the ordinary pictures that we see everyday. This type of art looks very creative. By looking at the art, it gives me a unique feeling. When I look closely to the picture, I can see all the character that the artist used. When I look at the picture as a whole, I can see the incredible picture that the artist is trying to portray. It is amazing to see all the character connected together for a better image.
