Quicktimes and jpegs of some of the assignments we did.

Whoot! Got my Camera and Lighting Midterm Done

There's one bounce in the video because I wasn't backed up enough to my liking-I was proud of that window light! That thing took me forevverrrrrrrrrrr.....But hey-I turned all my stuff in before he put in the grades, how's that???  :)   (Well, at least I'll fix a couple lighting things anyways, I gotta look at what else I'm missing.....The life of a student!)  (vs the life of a worker, man-no comparison, sadly... :/)



Anywho-constructive criticism anyone?

Alright! Side Projects!!! :D

Kosupure Club/Ai Cosplay Club will be working on a commercial together!  We'll probably get some practice with the acting in front of the camera by doing skits, but I and the others will be inputting some stopmo and hopefully other forms of video animation like (what was it?  Silhouette-mation?)  Hopefully we'll get good stuff to put on our demo reels!

Stephanie Leyva, Ana Barrerra, me, Jordan Quispe, and Kristal Atkins (graphic design), will be working on a different video.  We have the story line down and will start practicing with some things (pvc pipe, pole/solid wood broomstick, butterfly knives), and hopefully in a year we hope to have something for the Dam Short Film Festival. (Which, I'm sure Tymothy Salmon will have something for-maybe-he usually does a lot of film stuff-that guy's so busy!)

Fun stuff!

On another note, I'm working character sheets for a different club dealing with comics!!!  :D  Yayyyyy... :p

1st Year Portfolio Demo Reel

My things to work on:

Compositions
Clarity
(My constant problems)

Learning 3D Modeling programs (so I can animate later in both 2D and 3D =:D )

This was the reel that I used:



And this is the reel that I had some 2 or 3 days ago:

HOSM Midterm-Aug 11

About the Chrysalis

My high school had a magazine called the Chrysalis, every single year students would make submissions about whatever poetry, short story, short comic, drawing, or photograph they wanted to put into the magazine.  Ever since I left high school and have come to this school I've wondered why our college doesn't have something like that, it's hard to get hyped up about nothing, though, and I figured, putting up photo images of the 3 high school magazines I have up somehow would help expand the minds of the students at school.  I'm not sure it'll work, but I would really love to see a magazine like that go up, I think our school's students need it, actually.  Also, there could be awards-the cover designer that designed the cover for the cover of my high school was high school student artwork-it got picked out of a series of other design covers, and this was done every single year.  Maybe we could incorporate something at the Art Institute that my high school did with their fine arts dessert night-letting students that win work with a graphic designer.

I hope that someday within the next couple of years we can get something like this started.  It seems like something that would benefit the students a lot, it would be a college magazine.

Some middle school, high school, and college art work

I was 14 when I drew this...I like Jokers and I'll probably work on more drawings like this in the future.

As an assignment for Advanced Art we were asked to do a poster about people with disabilities for an organization.  The bottom poster was the one poster I did that was included among 5 other people's posters for my school's large Fine Arts Dessert Night event.  The people with the "winning designs" got a $50 Dick Blick gift certificate and worked with a graphic designer.  I chose to go with the poster that the graphic designer and I worked on because it was more refined, but I wish I'd chosen my original design and tweaked it a little more since...that was my work.  But!  I was proud to get picked and I learned some things from working with him.  I'll have to add the graphic designer's name in later, but it was a great experience.

I should've lightned my face because when the postcards and the posters were printed my face was almost black, I think that's something that's hard to control sometimes though....But I don't know what your opinions of it would be.

The Chrysalis was my high school's literary magazine, which actually featured a lot of artwork ranging from photography, drawings, and digital drawings.

The Advanced and AP Art Students enrolled into the Reno Film Festival flyer/poster/billboard design contest, this was my entry, although the letters are askew.

My high school also allowed students to make designs for the course offering book listing the high school courses.  This is one of my more favored designs.

This was the pamphlet/brochure design I worked on, the picture of the girl is of my friend from high school, and the rest of the pictures I got from the internet-no they are not my work and I don't remember the websites, but the design of the brochure is what I was focusing on.

This was the flyer design I worked on for the Baccalaureate ceremony, we didn't have a baccalaureate program for us high school students that attended McQueen high school at 2009, I doubt we have one, but we did have a ceremony for the graduates other than the graduation ceremony itself.

Whoot! I got a plaque! Nevada Credit Union wanted student work on their calendars, the idea was fun things kids/people/families could do during those months, it was really month-activity related.

These are Illustrations I made for my high school news paper - I was almost too late! (ooh-thank goodness Mrs. Carter let me turn that in.)-fun project!

For my AP Portfolio- high school, my teacher's favorite.

One of my favorites-I drew this from a really old memory of mine...I was maybe 7 or 8 years old.

Hello, so GreenT-CrysM here, just testing the edit html tab thing on blogger so I'm ready for next weeks HOSM midterm, kinda wanted to use my xanga, but that's more for personal advice and lending my own perspectives to whatever topic happens to pop up in my head or around me, not much of a blog for showing off work.  (I think maybe someday when I make my own website I could have separate tabs for that stuff if people really wanted to read that kind of thing, but sheesh! People would think, "Peeeersonal!..Nyahhh...No...Not coming back to this crazy girls page again."  But then who knows?  Maybe you're just the right audience to look at that stuff...)



Anywho, I was 17 or 18 dancing freestyle to Honey when she made the scene for J.A.D.A. Still think I'm square? :p
