I chose to translate my favourite video, starring Muffy and Linette! I played with the humour of the video using a MousePressed function. I felt that it was perhaps too simple so tried adding other functions to the it, but it wasn’t as effective, so I removed them.
This interactive piece focuses on the theme of urban play. It puts the user in a free form urban space where the paths in daily urban life are constantly tread. However, with a click and hold of a button, the very same paths are illuminated with wild and exciting variations and a whole new perspective of urban life can be discovered via freerunning. However, it is important to constantly reinvent one’s perspective in the urban environment or be stuck in the same cycle all over again.
DUE APRIL 8
Assignment #7 Translate it is due next week AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS. (Sorry for the change, but I realized that we will need the ENTIRE session to review your work.)
Plan to spend at least 8-10 hours in this assignment prior to next Wednesday.
Be prepared to hand me a flash drive with your exported applet and the corresponding folder and files at 3pm SHARP. Also, be prepared to give a title and a couple of sentences to describe the work.
I will be available in the MML from 1-3pm in case you have any last minute bugs. If you would like help during that time, let me know and I will schedule appointments in 15 minute slots until all slots are filled. Be aware that 15 minutes is a very small amount of time, so be sure that your sketches are practically done before you see me.
