Final Project: Failure

This project took a very strange turn.   About a week ago, I found myself in the middle of a nervous breakdown. Slowly but surely I was beginning to realize that all of the ambitious things I had set out to do with my Unity project, were completely unrealistic given my very limited abilities. We all learned so much so quickly in this course, but I think I fooled myself into believing I could do more then I was capable of. To illustrate this point, I've prepared something called the...

Final Project & Independent Learning

I've got two words for this process: Uphill battle. I set out to make a little storyline of a character. I honestly didn't know where I was going with it, but I wanted to make some sort of story centering around one character with some sort of paranormal weird stuff going on. What I realized was the most selling part of the video would be the sheer amount of space it covers; it is the most lonely thing ever to be the focus of one of these videos with nobody...

Whitepaper Start VR- VR Noir: A Day Before The Night

  Impressed by VR Noir, I reached out Nathan Anderson, COO & Executive Producer of Start VR to interview. Unfortunately, he is too busy to be interviewed now and promised to do so in Jan. He sent me some links to help me understand this project and I'd like to share some new ideas after speaking with him. Here is my whitepaper on VR Noir.   Start VR is an Australia-based virtual reality company. Founded in 2015, it is dedicated to delivering high-quality virtual reality content and production studio devoted to...

Why the dinosaurs are disappeared in the earth?_Johnny’s Final project

I changed my topic little bit. I created the VR education content. Topic: Why the dinosaurs are disappeared in the earth? Story: Through Johnny’s lecture video, the viewer would understand the two hypotheses of the dinosaur extinction. First reason is the intrinsic gradualists and the second one is the extrinsic Concept: I made the lecture video talking about the dinosaur extinction (Attached file 1: video script). During the lecture, you can see the animation depending on what I address. Also, you can interact with the dinosaur toy. If you click the dinosaur...

Final project: VR for PR-Your colorful adventure

As a PR girl, I made this 360 video a PR one to raise awareness of dressing colorfully to lift the spirits. I shot some scenes in October when I went hiking. And I used those scenic parts as a lead to give the audience a feeling that colorful landscape can lighten up your world. So does your outfit. Then I shot some follow-up videos, wearing a light green skirt and a red skirt to represent the colorful leaves. In the end, I showed the big idea – introduce bold...

Independent Learning – Schiff

For my independent learning project, I chose to learn more about special effects and lighting within Unity since that is what the majority of my final project was based around.  My took the Lynda course : "Unity 5: 3D essential training" along with Unity's visual effects manual. The first thing I learned was how to create particles using special effects.  Once you are in Unity, you can add a component called "particle system" onto an object.  This is where I made the cool dust floating particles above the house and...

Independent Learning: a color test

My final project is named “Your colorful adventure”, which is like a color test. It’s a public relations-based video. The big idea is focused on increasing the awareness of dressing colorfully to lift the spirits. We tend to wear black and white for work and sometimes we feel blue and don’t want to dress too fancy. Why not dress colorfully to lift the spirits? In order to do so, I googled how to changed colors in Premiere and watched some tutorials, like Tutorial Adobe Premiere Pro CC - Episode 17...

Final Project Virtual Tour – Jason Mussman

For my final project my partner, Luke Casino, and I created a virtual tour of Split Rock Quarry using Panotour Pro.  This software is made by Kolor, and is very useful for creating virtual tours and for mapping out 360 images.  The software allows you to place hotspots throughout your images and link them to different points, either video, audio or web based.  For this project we decided it would be best to utilize the Nikon KeyMission360 Camera.  Despite the reviews the KeyMission 360 camera is very useful.  Even though we...

Schiff Final Unity Project

Ever since watching Stranger Things, I always wanted to visit the "upside down".  Once I dipped my feet into Unity, I realized that I could make that possible.  I came up with the idea that you would start out in Will's home where the christmas lights were hanging everywhere and the alphabet was painted on the wall.  You would then see an avatar, preferably someone in the show, appear and they would walk you through the experience.  Following the house, you would walk outside into the "upside down".  You would...

Final project

I decided to do a 360 video to show what would be like to eat with a bunch of friends in a Chinese restaurant, but since it's the end of the semester, I don't really able to gather 10 people for shooting even it's a eating scene. It's not feasible, so I changed my pitch to create a scene in Unity showing what would be look like during Chinese New Year festival. After I started my project, I constantly save project incase it crashes, but luckily everything was fine until the...
