Final Assignment – Audra Linsner

I started filming for this project at the end of September. Currently, I’m in a research class about the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace. One of the things we were interested in is how the Haudenosaunee navigate conflict resolution and how lacrosse is a part of that. I’ve played lacrosse for a long time, so it was really interesting to get to know the history of the game and how different it Is now than how it is played by the people who created it. I set out to tell...

Independent Study – Kanda

I learnt how to create a nadir to cover the tripod in 360 videos, how to use Unity and Maya together, and the workflow of making spatial audio. Nadir is really useful when it comes to filming of 360 videos because there is nowhere that the audience can't see. We need to find a way to hide the stuff that take them away from the story. Nadir is a really helpful tool to do that and I used it for both of the 360 videos I made this semester. I...

Matthew Mulcahy Final VR: VR Meditation

The story of my project was to look at a women who teaches yoga and the ability to bring it with you anywhere. For this video I set out to make a video that people could use whenever they find themselves stressed or anxious. I thought the story and lessons from this teacher could help anyone find relaxation for just a few minutes a day. As I began working on this project I learned how carefully you need to plan out all of your events as well as the ability...

Final Project – Kanda

For the final project, Let Me In, I decided to team up with Alina and made a sequel of our group project: Let Me Out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bf6ERtaNaQ) We used the Sennheiser Ambisonics Microphone to record the soundtrack for Let Me In. This wasn't what we originally planned to do but definitely was more challenging and rewarding. We both want to make something more than just shoot and put-them-together type of project so we went through a week of filming, recording and post-production. We pictured one of the plots of the story should be...

Final – A brief tour of Syracuse (360 Video)

-Ronojoy Sinha Link - Syracuse 360 tour My aim for this assignment was to make a 360 video highlighting the local hotspots in Syracuse. Hotspots would include museums, restaurants, parks, installations etc. I went to some of the places i know personally in downtown and made a quick video. The video starts off at Columbus Circle along with some facts about the circle like the history and nearby attractions.  Next, the video takes us to armory square- where it talks about how it was re-developed from an industrial zone to a happening recreational...

Final Project: Wayfinding for tagAR process

Wayfinding for tagAR by Lenny Martinez Link to my final project pitch: http://www.vrstorytelling.org/assingment-07-final-pitch/ This semester I chose to do an apprenticeship with Renée Stevens who has been working on an Augmented Reality app for iOS devices. Her app is named tagAR and you can see a quick prototype here: https://vimeo.com/229070725. The goal of the app is to replace the "Hello, my name is" tags at conferences and help better connect people using the power of AR technology and the phones we always carry around. For my final project, I was...

Qian Zhu-Independent Study

I watched a 12 minutes' long video on Lynda this Thanksgiving and I found it really helpful to my final project. First of all, I want to say that Lynda is a really interesting website. I can learn many useful and helpful things on this website. The categories are clear, and all courses are divided into different sections so I can choose the pieces that I want to watch. Back to my topic. I was doing a 360 video as my final project. The main body is just simply video...

Marisa Joachim Final Project – Epcot Center

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bBbvvmCUvzg" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> This final project was incredibly enjoyable. I was able to make a fun, intricate scene come to life: Epcot Center. I had this idea to portray Epcot when my original idea of Magic Kingdom became too difficult to develop with limited free assets. Therefore, I decided to come up with my version of Epcot, Around the World. I decided to pick five of the nine countries in Epcot that are truly landmarks on Earth- the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, and China....

Independent study -Baiyu Gao

During the Thanksgiving break, I read the book Slay the Dragon: Writing great video games written by Robert Denton Bryant and Keith Giglio. It is a clear, concise and interesting guide for script writer, game developer, film producer and game lovers. It introduces game story writing from different aspects. It talked about the importance of story ideas, structure of video games, how to create a playable character, game design basics and method acting. One of my favorite part is about the similarities and differences between video and game. Before reading...
