Audio 12/8

Image
For my audio piece, my plan was to find a skateboard sound effect and record my voice, put it together in Garage Band band using loops, then attach the audio to the video using After Effects or Premiere. However, I found the process of flipping back and forth between watching my video and working on Garage Band. So, I figured out you can bring a video into Garage Band and put together audio for the video. Then I also realized that the original track I made was almost 2 times longer than my video. The measurement on the timeline in Garage Band is not seconds, learned that the hard way. Anyways, I believe it came out nicely. I added my own voice by recording myself saying "YO" when my friend turns into a cartoon, as if I am shocked.  Once I brought the video into Garageband, it made the process much easier, and I was able to view the video as I was making the sound.

Animation 12/6

Image
For my animation project, I took a video of a friend of mine skateboarding. I then took the video and used Photoshop to break the video down frame by frame. I then brought the each drawing into Illustrator and drew over every frame. After the drawings were done, I loaded the image sequence into Animate to render the video. This project took me way too long, and still looks so incomplete. It will definitely be a project I will continue to work on in the future. The video is also posted in my folder within the Student Server.

Art History 11/14

Image
Kevin Wagenheim 11/14 Art History For my Art Project, I inserted my head onto a portrait of Captain Oliver Hazard Perry by Edward Mooney. When I first began this project, I quickly learned that cutting out my frizzy hair is not easy one bit. So after many trials and errors of pictures and different portraits to use, I finally came up with this. I began with cutting out my face from my original picture. Then, I added a angled brush stroke filter to my face, and adjusted the brightness. Then using the clone stamp tool, I was able to continue the background and take out the original head. I then cut my face up a little better to blend in with the picture. Original Pictures:

Somewhere 11/8

Image
Kevin Wagenheim 11/8 Somewhere I took a picture of a city skyline from Google. I then took this picture of myself to try and make it look like I was holding the top of the tallest building. After taking the picture and uploading into Photoshop, I then found that my hand needed to be a little higher. I then used the puppet warp tool to raise it instead of taking a new picture. I then lightened the background to try and match the lighting of myself in the picture.  Original Pictures: Couple of progress shots:

Portrait Poster 10/31

Kevin Wagenheim Art 210 10/31 Portrait Poster For my portrait, I decided to go with the low poly self portrait style. I thought that my portrait came out cool, so I tried to make the background low poly as well using a radial gradient. For my first try at it, I thought it came out pretty well. For a final poster, I made a poster ad telling students to study digital arts to make something like this!
