I had the pleasure of working alongside LaQuin to produce this 360 interactive music video featuring Outlaws Dance Team. It was not the easiest thing getting a whole dance troupe to focus or to figure out formations around the the 360 rig, but once we got going, it was such a fun shoot to be on. We filmed in 3 different locations including the quarry, the front of the water tower, and the back of the water tower. I organized the shoot, shot all scenes with LaQuin, stitched the first...

As my final project, I am in the process of shooting, stitching, and editing a 360 music interactive video, featuring Outlaws Dance Troupe, a student-run hip-hop dance group on SU's campus. In doing so, my partner, LaQuin Alexander, and I have had some issues with stitching and ghosting. Therefore, I decided to look up a few tutorials about how to handle the all those type of issues. Under each video, I wrote the specific notes from the respective videos, that proved to help with the issues we were having. Want...

I held this interview with Christian Cherene, one of the full time investigators of the Machine to Be Another. I learned so much about the work that these individuals are doing with this interactive system that I did not want to just paraphrase anything because he had so much to say and had so much enthusiasm about his work. The bold print are the questions I asked him and the italicized print are his answers. It was great being able to get to know him and the Machine to Be Another, not just...

My final project will be apart of a collaboration piece with LaQuin Alexander. We are planning to produce, stitch, and edit 4 different scenes in 4 different locations to overall produce a 360 interactive music video featuring Outlaws Dance Troupe. I will produce, stitch, and edit 2 of the scenes in 2 different locations and she will be responsible for the two other scenes. This is a project we have decided to take on because this type of dance music video is growing in the dance video industry and we...
I had serious difficulty with getting the animation to loop back to state 1 so that if I were to enter the trigger again, Shae would start over and walk back to the demon. It is probably the simplest thing in my logic but I really could not figure it out.

My scene is based on the story of 3 soldiers who have landed on this alien planet. When my scene opens the first person is right next to the soldiers and you can hear the hovercraft that they just embarked their journey on not too far behind them. If you look around you can see the hovercraft parked several feet back as the soldiers make their way over to the shadowy dark mountains. Little do they know the demon is lurking in the mountains, waiting for them. I went back and...

Bria Holness The Scene This scene that I am pitching will be in a small classroom with subjects both close and far from camera. There will be some movement and it will be somewhat close to the camera. The camera will be at sitting level so that the viewer feels as though they are sitting amongst the students. Lighting The scene will have indoor lighting. However, I envision a couple of flickering fluorescent lights to add to the feeling that the classroom is in poor condition. Audio The audio will...
In the first day of class I had the opportunity to witness a fight scene between the Avengers and their robot enemies on the VR headset. I felt fully engulfed in the scene to the point that I was dodging debris and Captain America’s shield when they looked as though they were coming my way. I found myself hunching over many times as IronMan flew over my head, Thor threw his hammer over my head, and the Hulk appeared out of nowhere. I kept having to remind myself that I...
