The TANK: Video 6

One last one. The flute player this time. The background image, once again, came out awfully. But still cool.

THE TANK: Video 5

Yes, more violin. The tail end of the reading / performance thing.

The TANK: Video 4

Moar Violin + MSP. Less than a minute this time.

THE TANK: Video 3

Violin + MSP grooving. Again the MSP is difficult but I'm sure you remember the coolness of it. This one is the longest I think. About a minute.

The TANK: Video 2

MSP grooving. Can't really see the MSP but it's there.

The TANK: Video 1

Gonna upload a handful of theses... Mostly the violin and Flute because the one of the entire performance was like 1 minutes and youtube hates me. You get 1 minute or so snippits, then.

Here's one of the warmup - Baldwin grooves in the background.

Something Different!

I'm going to upload more THE TANK stuff in a minute. but I found this and it's cute so I share.

Last time I went to Atlantis Dad tried to feed the skates (small stingrays). They knew what was up, so they plastered themselves to the side of the lagoon thing and tried to beg. Aw.

Final Project - What is life?

I interviewed a few students and asked them what is life. Some of them couldn't answer right away and since the question was so broad it was hard for them to think of an answer on the spot. We live life everyday but to answer the question is so much more difficult. It shows how caught up we can get in everything we do that we forget the meaning of it all. I also asked how they balanced their school, work, and personal life.

Our video

We finally finished our video and we saw a preview of it in class. My partner and I were covering our faces for more than half the time but I'm pretty proud of our work. We took about a day and half to film n hours during the night to make music and edit it. Our message was that joining the army isn't a bad thing, in fact it's something to be proud of if you do. I hope people will see this on Saturday and realize.

Sketch up fun - my city

This is a video of a little city I created in sketch up. It kind of looks futuristic and that's what I like about it.

Midterm - Professor's other class

This is a video of the other theater class playing around with a large sheet of fabric. It looked interesting and very artistic just to see the fabric move around. It was like a form of art through movement and looked pretty cool. It was also a little funny but they just looked kind of crazy.

Midterm - Matt the flipper

This is a video of Matt doing one of his amazing tricks!!! This was especially cool when we were able to project it through macs msp. I was scared for his life since he was on cement but he did a great job!

Midterm - Making a projection screen

A very short video but you can see us stretching the sheet so that we could make it bigger for our projections.

Free Food

So I was bored, wandering around campus the other day before I had to catch the train, and I came across a discarded newspaper. On the front was a lot of little pictures of pancakes and bacon, 52 to be exact (it was stated, I wasn't bored enough to count). The article sandwiched between the little pictures was all about companies are using free food or something equivalent to a giveaway to lure in constant customer support. From the gist of the article, it's working perfectly.

This got me thinking. I might not be a typical poor college student (I have a part time job and I live at my parents house where's there plenty of free food to go around), but even I can appreciate the allure of free stuff. I can only imagine that it's even more appealing to those who live on campus or on their own or are having a hard time economically. Cheap, free things are getting harder and harder to come by, so is this a form of exploitation of the times or just a new effective advertising technique?

I'm pretty sure it's both - and they're working fantastically.
