Idea 1: Just a walking bass sound but it changes patterns each time (never repeats the same sequence) Idea 2: One sustained note in combination with sporadic other sounds that change the sound of the note Idea 3: Just spend an hour recording from my pocket as I do things outside (I  .e. run errands, etc)

My project, overall, has many visual strengths. The imagery itself is strong and mood-evoking, which is what I  primarily wanted to focus on. It's transitions, cohesiveness, and meaning could use more attention. As I    continue to work on this animation, I    will fine-tune the color story, transitional elements, and add more detail to convey a clear meaning and create more of an audience experience. As of right now, there is a rhythm and sameness to the entire video. I  am looking to change the pace of each chapter I    add onto it to add variation and keep its viewers engaged. I    will also create more layers of imagery to add onto what I    already have. I    want the video to persist through time using cumulative imagery. In other words, as the video proceeds, denser imagery will accumulate.

1) What is the relationship between the idea of sound as a habitat and sound as immersive? A: Sound as a habitat relies entirely on our subjective perceptions of sound while sound "as immersive" is more objective. More specifically, we as humans isolate sound into its own habitats (I  .e. music in music hall) or we fool ourselves into thinking that walls cannot be permeated by sound. In language, we also use "sound" to contextualize familiarity and safeness (I  .e. "safe and sound," "sound things out"). This goes with our ideas of sound as habitat. Several artists have challenged this idea by highlighting the immersiveness of sound  (I  .e. using sensors to pull sound from outside a building and "duplicate" it inside the building). 2) What does the author mean by "there is no sound that is the sound of one object alone?" A: The sound we hear is never pure sound. There are two primary explanations behind this (both essent...

There are times in my life when I have felt very small, and times when I have felt like the center of my own universe- I think we all can relate. Ego is something we look upon with shame, but we all have it. Our consciousness is dictated by the personal experiences we’ve gleaned from our lifetime, thus it is impossible to live our lives without putting ourselves in the center of it. To me, this feels very boring. With this animation, I am saving myself, and you alike, from self-induced boredom. You do not have to be religious to believe that there is more beyond your lifetime, because if you live in the same world that I live in, you know that an innumerable amount of lives continue on even when yours stops. Believing in an afterlife is not believing in heaven and hell exclusively. If we really are just bodies, we are matter that is neither destroyed nor created, and while we do lose our body’s functions when life ends, every single cell of who we are will always have a place in...

I  will move forward with my underwater dreamscape storyboard idea. This may be more labor-intensive, but it is more beneficial given the art practice I am developing while I am in school. In addition to this, I  already have many relevant images of my own to source from. I look forward to putting this piece together.
