Flipbook

The concept for this flipbook is inspired by the book in which it is created in: 1984 by George Orwell. The novel revolves around the concept of the all-seeing and all-knowing Big Brother, so the animation is a representation of that all-seeing being in the form of an eye, and the concepts that Big Brother revolves around appears around it to symbolize the brain washing that occurs within the novel.

Grid Art Project

Image
I used tissue paper and poster paper to create this grid art of Cinderella's Castle with a Mickey Mouse in the center. I used the photoshop image below to create it. I took a picture of the castle with the mouse head in it and made a 30x39 pixel image. Since it was black and white, I then painted each pixel a different color in order to make the image come to life. I then took my poster paper and created a 30x39 cm grid where each square became a pixel. I would rip little pieces of tissue paper, ball it up, and then glue it to the grid in order to recreate the image. The finished product is seen above. The black and white castle is the original image that the grid art was based off of.

Response to Aria

The short film Aria  was quite interesting. It was interesting how at the end of the film the story seemed to begin again. It suggested that her pain could never truly end due to her being a puppet. Even when she was broken back down into the original pieces, she was put back together and forced to feel her pain all over again. It also provides a sense that we never truly escape our feelings, that we only learn to cope with them. Once we have rebuilt ourselves and return to our state of content, our feelings will come back to use again and we experience the pain we worked so hard to forget. The use of stop-motion animation to create this short I feel was also an unique choice. These feelings could have been easily been represented with real people, as the opera the film was based on had been. However, I feel that the ending would not have been as impactive had the film used real actors. The use of the stop-motion animation made the ending much more symbolic and meaningful as it dre...

Importance of the Vacuum Tube

Vacuum tubes were revolutionary in terms of radio, television, and computers. In terms of radio and television, vacuum tubes were essential in terms of broadcasting. They gave these devices the opportunity to cast higher frequencies, allowing them to transmit signals that could be received worldwide. As technology advanced and the vacuum tubes are tweaked, the signals become more clear and more reliable. Eventually, ships are able to use radios over morse code to communicate between one another. Vacuum tubes in relation to computers were important, but highly inefficient. The early computers required many vacuum tubes and consumed massive amounts of electricity because of that. Transistors have now replaced the vacuum tubes for all of these devices as they more efficiently transmit signals than the vacuum tubes.
