Somewhere

 

   

For the last assignment before our final project we were to take a scene from our favorite movie or tv show and insert ourselves into it. I tried to challenge myself by replacing a character in the scene instead of simply placing myself into it. 

The above image has me replacing Marty McFly in a scene from my favorite movie, Back To The Future. It was extremely challenging to not only match the position of Marty, but to get the right lighting and look to the picture of myself. I went through a lot of trial and error to get the film grain and coloring right. While it may be a little dark for printing, I think ultimately this assignment turned out very well.

While the learning curve probably didn't save me much time, I'm glad I was able to figure it out. Because of my inexperience with After Effects I still had around 100 layers to manually adjust in Photoshop, b

Portfolio

    Our final assignment was to create a portfolio with all our assignments throughout the semester. In keeping with the programming theme I made the text look like you were using the terminal to navigate a file system. In reflection, learning the Adobe Suite has a lot of similarities to programming. It reinforced for me that one of the most invaluable skills to have is knowing how to learn.
