Sound Sculpture - Tree

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.

(but if it does work, they won't be interactive on here as they should be)

Sound Scuplture

Beautiful... I think the sky and clouds are amazing, how they are always changing- the bright, the dark. I also love the sound of crunching leaves and the smell of fall. The wind blowing, wasping through someones hair.
I that fall is beautiful.
I think i could make a beautiful maple tree and have it when they hover it the change from green summer tree, to a fall colourful one. Then when they click they can have the leaves fall to the ground an if they click them on the ground they will crumble and crunch.
With it being just being the tree, it is a scuplture and not a scene like my mind was first drawn to.

Master Painting - The Scream

( The sound doesn't work because of how I saved it; will try to reupload at home)

What I like most about my animation is the scream, I love how terrifying it sounds! Also, I think that I did a good job at recreating what the background behind the man would look like. To make this, I completely erased the man out and made a background layer for itself and the man over top, this really simplified how my animating went. A third thing i think was successful about this was the timing with the scream and opening of his mouth.

What I like least is the smudging-dripping effect it has when leaving the screen, My original idea was for a slither, but as I continued with the animation, the dripping became a more realistic choice. In the end though, I think that it did turn out very well for the route I took. But one thing i would change is "matching" the dripping, I just used the liquefy at random on each piece as it was a later addition to do the dripping. I think i should have changed the original gradually and save it drip by drip, but I already had some changes made and saved to I opened and changed each of those men.

If Evard Munch saw this I really don't know what he would think because I don't know much about him, but I do know he started this painting in the 1800's, so I think he would just be completely amazed at how we can manipulate his work now.. They didn't even have computers in his time, so being able to do this as I have, would seem like an insanely far fetched dream in his time, So, if I was him, i would be astounded. In all, I would hope he would enjoy and find this really amusing, as I do.

Action painting

Edvard Munch -- The Scream, I think that this is the painting that I want to do. I thought about doing a street artist, like Bansky, but I'll leave that for Jordan to cover and do this. I want to make his eyes and mouth grow more, and obviously I'll add a scream for the sound, but I want to make him grow to then all of a sudden shrink and it all go quiet, then his mouth close, eyes close and he likes slivers off the screen because he has a very unnatural looking curve to his body so I think he should look like a snake as he disappears leaving just the bakcground of the picture
