What is your opinion of combining technology and the human body as she did in the video?
- The combination of technology and the human body is fascinating. It's like a different form of cosplaying. How they wear something on their body to be something else. I like that aspect of that video, how models were something completely different and it makes them unique and the picture unique, as a whole. What is your opinion of combining a media arts and science project with your own body? - The main thing I wanna do is work my way up to do costumed acting (wearing costumes on stage, in TV, or on the big screen). I will probably not get there, since the acting jobs like that are slim to none, more on the latter, but I would love to be involved in combining a media arts and science project with my body. I kind of did that already a few times this semester, with the Fear project, the breaking the rules project, the media round robin project, and just me coming to class in different costumes. I like to see people reactions to them and see what people think. If I had to wear tree bark or straws, then so be it, it'll be an adventure. Just no completely covering my face, I am claustrophobic around my face, so having that happen would scare the heck out of me. What is identity of self in the digital world? - My identity, of right now, in the digital world is behind the camera. I am the one taping footage, either on camera or by capture card, and putting into a program, be that After Effects, Avid, or Premiere. I edit it together, put effect on it, if need be, and turn it in or put it on a video sharing website, mainly YouTube. I hope to be doing other things like working at a news station and maybe even doing voice acting for cartoons, as that is something I would love to be doing at some point in my life. I feel like I have many thing in my life that can and will go wrong, but I need to push through it and I know video editors are not in high demand, but I know places are wanting people do videography, so I hope to find somewhere that will want a passionate person like me. I have ideas for videos and I hope to get them out there and do them!!! How will you change this book? - I will change this book to be something that I like. I love dogs and I love being in costume, so putting those together really help me do something fun in my life. I love to be and act like a dog, and I know a lot of the personality quirks and mannerisms of dogs, so that wont be a problem, but I know that I am not a designer, when it comes to creating things with my hands, not on a computer, so I am going to be challenged by this, but I know that when I am done, I will know I did a great job and that it was fun to make. I started this project during my spring break and worked on it here and there until the bitter end. I will be talking more about the process, but I know that I did my best and that is all that counts. How will this book change you? - It will change me by knowing that I can do something, if I try hard enough and I put my mind to it. I did what I had to do and I made sure that I put my best foot forward. I cant make things for crap. I make a wood heart in jr. high and it looked pitiful, and my bone that I made is lopsided, and my OCD is screaming at me, but it is OK. It has taught me to be more humble and more patient and to be happy with the results, so matter what they are. I am not perfect, even though my perfectionist mind wants to be, but I know I am not and never will be, so I am learning to accept it as it is and be who I am. It also taught me that I can really make costumes if I really want to. All my projects are incorporated by the 5 Ss: Spontaneity, Serendipity, Surrender, Synchronicity, and Start. Also, like all the other assignments, it caused me to look sideways to see what to do. I started during the 50 What ifs and the 3 things I would like to do with my cover to really cement the ideas of what I really wanted to do. Then, during spring break, I did the head piece. Then during the bliss assignment, I did the ears, the collar, and the tail. Then this week, I did the dog tag and the finishing touches of the "costume". It was really bliss to get this assignment done, as I am big on getting work done first, then enjoying life later. It looks OK. Like I said, I am not a designer, but this is my 2nd time doing this, first time was with duct tape, so I tried my best and that is what counts. I really did enjoy this project and I hope to make more stuff at a later time, when I get money and knowledge on sewing and design aspect, but I doubt I will. The future is unknown...?
