My Data

Since November 2010, I've kept an ongoing spreadsheet of my personal schedule week-by-week. For this assignment, I went through and recorded the number of hours I've spent at work and in classes. It's not perfectly equivalent to "hours worked" because I've included the half-hour lunches in the tally, since my aim here is really to illustrate how many hours I am essentially locked-in to being in a certain place, not what I'm getting paid for. The classroom hours begin January 11, 2011 as a second column here. Of course, it doesn't take into account hours spent outside of class working on assignments and extra projects; I'd have to be mad to try and track THAT kind of data...


Date    Working    Class
11/14/2010    8   
11/15/2010    0   
11/16/2010    7.5   
11/17/2010    4   
11/18/2010    3.5   
11/19/2010    0   
11/20/2010    7   
11/21/2010    13   
11/22/2010    4.5   
11/23/2010    6.5   
11/24/2010    6   
11/25/2010    6.5   
11/26/2010    5.5   
11/27/2010    8   
11/28/2010    5.5   
11/29/2010    6

Weekend Data

I decided to keep 3 sets of data from 10.18 through 10.21.

The first data type I kept was places I went.  I don't have 50+ data entries but since my travels ranged from South Bend, to Ft. Wayne, to Grand Rapids I thought it would be interesting. I plan on adding miles later on.

experiment redo

After the previous movie i made that flopped. I needed to do some serious rethinking on my video experiment redo. I thought about the exercise we did in class when we brought in electronic toys to manipulate. Then it occurred to me that natural scientific toys make sound as well. So i used a Newton cradle, slinky and gyro scope to produce natural sound. I wanted my movie to have a beginning middle and ending.The toys start out with normal natural sound. The second part then starts with fast natural sound and the third is slow sound. The 4th part is when the toys start to lose the momentum and come to an abrupt end. I had to edited how fast and slow the toys were moving to get these types of sounds.

Exploration



For this assignment I decided to pursue my exploration with Premiere. In my test clip of a girl walking on the beach, I used a lot of time effects as well as some others, and in my clip it made the girl into just see through outlines, and the waves looked like just some sort of moving texture. I wanted to further explore the idea of moving textures around us. Basically daily things we see but never really stop to look at long enough to realize how many aesthetic shapes, textures, and patterns there are around us.

I took 1 second clips of things around my apartment complex, I made them 1 second in the beginning because we see so many things on a daily basis that it usually is just a fast moment in time for us. I then used the same clips each for 3 seconds with the effects on them to reduce them to mainly shapes, textures, and movement. Longer intervals for the second half of clips so the viewer can focus on what each original clip can be reduced to if we take time to look long enough. 

There was one effect that I used in my original test clip that I didn’t like, and honestly forgot to take it out (and did not have another entire hour for the clips to render if I did take it out). It was a rolling shutter effect, which made the edges of the screen flicker occasionally. In the future I plan on taking that out of the final piece.

gifs and jpegs made in photoshop

My main goal for this project was to explore what kinds of textures I could make using Photoshop.  I didn't use any photos to start with, all I did was use the paintbrush and pattern stamp tools and various filters.  This is what I came up with (the top three are gifs and the others are jpegs):

Choosy art students choose GIF's

GIF's have intrigued me all semester and for this project I wanted to explore some new possibilities for them. I saw some ascii art and figured if I could make an image through text, then I should be able to make a series of images using the same process. My first GIF uses some of the techniques I used for last week's assignment in exploring different filters and effects in photoshop, and the 2 following are made with only ascii characters. The second is the same video sequence that loops sequentially, and the third is the result of each frame of text being layered on top of each other.








Explorations Within


The battle between good and evil is a constant in many people's lives.  Which face will present itself today?  Which face will your loved ones remember?  Which face do you keep to yourself?  Many will see your face but will not know the struggle happening within.  Using faces of strangers and loved ones, I created an effect that embarks on the familiar, the unfamiliar, and in the end something different all together.

I am going to use a website to display my project but I felt that the gifs used on my website were interesting enough to show here as well.














These images are stills from 3 of the gifs.  They are the images you get after 20 iterations of "emboss" and one iteration of the effect "oil paint". 





Software Exploration Final - Cirque du Monnaie



This is the final for my software exploration / subversion exercise.  Coming to grips with my "graceful failures" while trying to extract color spaces from light sources, I decided to redirect my findings into a different area.

I call this little funsie "Cirque du Monnaie" or Circus of the Mint, if you prefer.  I heard Big Gov is gonna crank out some more monies to help (wreck) our economy (even further).  Oh yay!  More monies!!!  Lights and bells and whistles and smoke and mirrors... oh my!  Of course, you realize, this got me thinking... How can I illustrate this farce and tie it into my project?  Heck, I made it my project!

I subversed the gamma correction effect to make it seem as if I was running some coins through a copy machine (and added a flash bulb charge sound effect to boot!).  For the "main event", I used gamma correction again, but at full tap, and also utilized a smathering of color emboss effects to get the dancing lights under the big top and to make the raining coins look like dazzling tin.  Oooohhh...  Aaaahhh...

Video experiment

For this project i was trying to convey Pointillism within my work. I wanted to show the tiny bits of information based on dots to project images. On premiere i experimented on changing the levels of rgb colors. This includes experimenting with the noise filter and the sharpen filter. I Shot my friends cat Ikea and some outdoor clips on rockpavement and some greenery to show abit of visionary texture. It's a bit hard to see the mulit colored dots in this video. The dots showed really well when i was editing the video out on primere. I am not sure why it turned out to look diffrent from when i rendered and exported it out to mpeg4.

Premiere Waves

Soundwaves from Michael Nespo on Vimeo.

For the first part of this assignment I did 2 projects in Photoshop and 1 in Premiere. I chose to use the film clip that I did in Premiere and take it a step further. The short clips that I used in Premiere ended up looking like sound waves so I thought it would be interesting to take stock footage of educational films about sound waves and intertwine them with the sound wave-like clips that i produced in Premiere. I think it is interesting the way the modern technology meshes with the old technology to produce a interesting outcome.

Shapeshifter

Shapeshifter from Mark Sniadecki on Vimeo.

Using a combination of filters and settings to reduce the original video to a basic hard outline--its essential forms--I then explore the effects of breaking and bending that original form, through illusion and through further manipulation of the filters. With the interior details hidden from the eye, viewers can only follow the evolving lines of the subject and have no choice but to consider an alternative reality where the body is not a static human form.

Experiments in Premiere

I only used a few effects on the basic wildlife video in windows computers. The effects I used were the fast blur, color change, and sharpen.


Random 1 from Prentice Godwin on Vimeo.

I did a secend one just for fun and still used the same effects used above, but added the bend effect.




Random 2 from Prentice Godwin on Vimeo.

photoshop explorations

For this first one, I tried to see what I could do with some of the free transform controls.  I used a rectangle marquee and cut out the section I wanted as another layer.  I then used the distort and perspective functions to make it larger and make it appear as if the section was coming out of the background.  Then I used the warp function to come up with the picture below the first one.


 
 
This was originally a scene of a water canal in Venice (forgot to save original, sorry!).
 
I mainly used the adjustments toolbar for this.
 
Threshold, gradient map (green and red), hue and saturation, copy left side of composition to right side.
 
 
 
 
I didn't use a jpeg for this last one, I just opened a new workspace in photoshop and made this:
 
I can't remember everything I did, but I managed to get most of the effects from using oil paint, and the liquify tool.

Software Explorations - Extrapolated Color Spaces

For these explorations, I didn't want to randomly explore things.  I wanted an area of focus for my explorations, so I choose to explore several visual effects in Premiere that would manipulate areas of natural light and extrapolate them into areas of modified colors based on the way that different filters would derive them.  I would either intensify the effect via multiplication or simply change the level of the filter, but this being a video exploration, I wanted to see the various stages of the effect applied over time.  Also (to satisfy my own self-serving inquiries), I applied an Ultra Key filter to cut the sweeping areas of black (basically, I "green screened" the black out), so I could apply the color areas back onto the original video.

Posterizing Exploration Sequence
Exploration Notes:
Posterize effect applied once.  Deviations from level 2 (at start) to level 32 (at finish).
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original.

Gamma Correction Exploration Sequence

Exploration Notes:
Gamma Correction effect applied 5 times.  Deviations applied at every 5 seconds leading in (at start) at 1 and out (at finish) at 28.
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original.

Color Embossing Exploration Sequence
Exploration Notes:
Color Emboss effect applied 3 times.  Deviations at 0, 120, and 240 degrees (three-way pull) and relief bumped up to 5.00 to increase displacement of effect.
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) and shadow set from 0 (at start) to 100 (at finish) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original over time.

Exploring Software

For this one I used the wave filter set at number of generators: 618; type: sine; wavelength (min/max): 232/545; amplitude (min/max): 1/25; scale (horizontal/vertical): 91%/20% undefined areas: wrap around

 For this images I used an emboss filter set at angle: 141  degrees; height: 100px; amount: 500%

 For the last one I used an extrude filter in two different ways. In the first part I copied the image over and over, then used the extrude setting at type: blocks; size: 30px; depth: 30; random. For the second, I left the image singular, then set the filter at type: blocks; size: 200px; depth: 30; random.
