The eye, sometimes called “the window to the soul,” becomes the window to a story about finding where you belong. “Home” is a video project completed in December of 2007 during my senior year as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The idea was about personal intimacy. I wanted to tell an intimate story from an intimate perspective. Personally, the story comments on my experiences in Chicago upon arriving their from a small town. The video starts out chaotic and fast paced. You can hear and see evidence of the big city and it’s effects on a small-town boy. As the video makes it’s way to the end, the setting gradually becomes less and less chaotic while sounds become less jarring and more comforting.

While I did have my own specific ideas for making the narrative, I wanted the video to be shot and presented in a way that would be open for interpretation

Raindrops Project

Filed under: Film/Animation — admin @ 7:03 pm

This was the final project for my Electronic Visualization 2 class during my Senior Year in college. Our goals during the winter semester included taking one idea and translating it to different scales. My idea was a simple one: raindrops.

My goal was to use processing to create a series of projects that would merge both visual and audio aesthetics. The semester culminated in “Raindrops” being displayed on the big screen. The video above is a document of the show. Users could approach the screen and press anywhere on it to create a drop. Sounds were associated with the creation of each raindrop. “Raindrops” was meant to encourage user collaboration and thought as if each person were inside a room staring out a window during a rainy evening.

Click on the link below to interact with the project. Simply click on the screen and hold to create drops wherever your mouse is located on the screen:
