What I like most... So to begin, when I started this I could not find a tree that I actually like and wanted to use for this, so I came up with a simple solution -- make my own. So i designed my own tree using shapes and bushes in photoshop. I was realy hapy with how the tree turned out, I think it looks great and this made it easier to manipulate to how i want. I also really like the crunching leaf sound, i just find it nice to listen to. One last thing I like about my sound sculpture is the initial fade, that was much more simple than I thought it would be to do, and i took advantage of this new skill, and used at the end as well for the winter fade.
What I like least is the actual snow tree, I don't knwo why i just think I could have done it different.. Maybe have added some snowflakes falling. Something else I don't like are the sleighbells, that was the only sleigh bell sound I could find for free so I settled with it and it works so that's all the matters in the end. I didn't want to pay $2.99 for nice bells.. and I don't exactly own bells I could record. A last thing that I don't like as much as I could is the flash back from the winter tree to the fall tree to be able to click the other button on that screen. It seemed like a lot of extra work and frames to get it to fade back when I was already getting frustrated with that part, it just wouldn't work so I had tp keep changing things anyways.
What makes this a digital sculpture is that I personally made everything about it, make it not like something someone else made. Another, is the sound experience is very real as to what you would hear if this was a real tree, the wind wahsing through knockign some leaves off, or a real crunching leaf sound as if someone was walking over them, or the atmoshpere you would feel as the snow falls covering the trees.
( I don't think these work, but they are on your usb if that is the case)
(but if it does work, they won't be interactive on here as they should be)
