My final is going to be a mini-cafeteria used to teach kids about eating right. I’ve modeled it after a traditional school lunch setup, where they have 6 elements (main course, side, dessert, salad/fruit, drink). I’ll present them with 6 choices for each course, and then if they go overboard on the calories, they won’t be able to take their lunch tray away. It’ll be supplemented with a Processing sketch of a cafeteria lady (I’m thinking Lunch Lady Doris meets Cooking Mama) who walks you through the whole thing, and a calorie meter to keep track of what you’re eating.

P-Comp Final: Brainstorming with Chris
Monday, November 9th, 2009Comic Strip, Stop Motion, and Sound Projects
Monday, November 2nd, 2009Sound with Nik
We wanted to tell the story of a murder happening in the metro. We misread the assignment and thought we had to find/make the sounds ourselves. We made a heartbeat by taping on the microphone, and Ithai helped us add some effects to get it to truly sound like a heartbeat. Unfortunately, Soundtrack Pro was not happy at all after the heartbeat editing, and would repeatedly crash. We lost Ithai’s heartbeat magic but we tried our best to replicate it. We also made a gunshot sound from popping a balloon. At the end we threw in the band playing (Union Square metro station), because it reminded us of Dexter and how he murders someone, and then upbeat, Cuban (?) music plays at the end. (more…)
