I first met Laurence Segal while at my retail job at Destiny USA, a nearby mall. He was dressed head to toe in breast cancer related clothing and was eager to talk about his efforts in raising money for breast cancer research when I brought up the topic. It was clear to me from the moment we met that he was passionate about finding a cure, and has made raising awareness and funds a priority in his life. After speaking further with him, I found out that he makes daily...
As a Public Relations major, all of our projects this semester were very new to me. In addition to the subject of virtual reality being a new, the software we used was very foreign to me as well. This independent leaning project was really helpful for me as I prepared my final project. The last time I edited a video in software besides iMovie was freshman year for COM117 in FinalCut Pro, so taking on projects in AutoPano and Adobe Premiere Pro was complicated and confusing for me most of the...

In this day and age, perhaps one can start to consider me an “old school” video journalists. I was shooting on tapes at newspapers in 2006. While I enjoy video that puts me there, such as this video of Rio Carnival, I’m still all about having some sort of narrative thread behind the video. So when I saw Life on Mars: Preparing for the Red Planet, and watched as these scientists conducted this interesting NASA-funded social experiment of living in close quarters for 8 months to simulate life on mars,...
Originally, I was going to be creating a 360 video of the climate march for my final project but my plans ended up falling through and I was unable to make it to the march. Instead of trying to find another story to do my 360 video on, I decided to create a Unity scene. I am a big lover of sci-fi movies, so I thought it would be cool if I created a sort of alien abduction/alien arrival scene. The scene starts of with the user is at a camp...

For the independent learning assignment, I decided to watch the Scripting in Unity tutorial on Lynda. Although learning a programming language is not an easy feat, I have taken a previous coding class where I learned a bit of C. Unity uses C# for game development which is an easier language than C so I thought I would give it a shot. I want to learn the scripting aspect of Unity because I would like to create games or even apps in the future and I know you need to...
For my final, I wanted to do both a 360 video and a Unity PSA. Unfortunately, the 360 video portion fell through because every file on my computer was deleted after I deleted all of my video files, but I was able to salvage and redo my Unity project. For my Unity project, I started with just water, my FPS controller, and a boat. From there, I made a trigger that activates when you walk towards the wheel using playmaker. When you activate the trigger, audio begins to play,...
ExploreTours - Adirondack Park: Episode 1 This is my final VR Storytelling project. The concept is a company or VR series that goes to different locations and does VR tours to show people things that they may not be able to get to or that they may be interested in visiting. This particular series is on the Adirondack Park. There would be multiple episodes of different locations in the park. This episode is of hiking trail leading to the summit of Bald Mountain. I decided to do this as a straight...

For my independent learning, i decided to learn more about creating a character on Adobe Fuse CC. From our previous projects, we got to install the characters and objects from the assets store in Unity. However, I feel the free ones are very limited and they are not exactly what i wanted. So when professor Jason Webb introduced us to Adobe Fuse CC, i was addicted. Coming from writing background, a Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism student, I never thought i would be able to create a 3d character, nonetheless one...
Scripting is a tool which lets the user freely manipulate the environment in a scene. Some add-ons exist in unity which make scripting in Unity easier, as scripting itself is a rather tedious but necessary tool. There exists programs such as Playmaker, which allows the user to create scripts visually instead of having to know the essentials of coding. However, these sorts of programs have limitations, and to a point, can become rather tedious to use because of its intricacies. The course I chose for my independent learning was the...
