COM109-Intro to Digital Media (HCC-Spring21)

 For the ad analysis project I chose the American express advertisement. In this ad I paid attention to the decisions that were made and the overall intended audience and message. The ad opens up with some simple one shots of an restaurants/bars and right away is some kind of emptiness to them. There are no people in these shots, making these business look deserted. The mood feels light and nice as melodic piano music plays. Next a title card pops up with image in the background being the inside of a sports bar, the text reads, "Game day used to look different... Next we get a window shot of a woman who is organizing take-out orders with a sign on the window that reads open for takeout", she is wearing a face mask. This is obviously tells the viewer that this ad centers around the coronavirus pandemic. Another still shot of a building that has a bar in it with a text card which reads "and sounds different. we then see another sports bar worker, wearing a mask taking a fo...

      My final project was meant to take a few passions of mine being: storytelling, comics, and reviews, and turning them into a video where I go over my favorite comic series to date. My goal is to have a calming and relaxed atmosphere almost like the viewer and I are just hanging out and talking about the comic being reviewed. The video is supposed to break down the events of the comic and point out interesting connections that some people may not be aware of. At the same time, to encourage viewers to buy and read comics for themselves, I won't dive too deep into the comic's specifics such as specific lines. Beyond that, I only wanted to cover the first issue as it leaves on a cliffhanger and I'd highly recommend to those that enjoyed this specific issue to buy the complete series. In my opinion, it's one of Zack Snyders' best works as it dives into the infamous concept of if Batman was as crazy and unhinged as his greatest enemy, the Joker. In the video, I told ...

    After watching the videos I'd have to say I didn't expect glitch art to have that much nuance to it. A lot of people describe art as creation but not too often do people credit repurposing already created photos as art as well. There was a concern about fair use and copyright law when I originally watched the videos and it would seem that it was an issue for him as well since some of his content was taken down. It's an unfortunate standard with how online media is shared in the sense that people and companies abuse online copyright systems.

 

 My final project had the concept of pulling attention and being surreal, I explored this idea by distorting the images in my GIF drastically. I explored this concept by using various tools that photoshop gave me along with using some glitch art to make the image appear even more surreal. The method of my madness was that I had photoshopped several images into one background image then as I went through more layers they became distorted. In my project in order to get the distortion effect I had used an image distortion website as Photoshop wasn't capable. The reason I did it was because it was the first thing that came to mind and it seemed like a decent idea. The final result came out better than expected but I do think it would've looked a lot better if i had 50-60 frames.

 

 For my project I will be overall exploring video effects by also incorporating image and text relationships also sound and the elements/principles of composition. The idea of the project was mainly inspired by quarantine life from a year ago. I payed close attention to the composition for some of the shots throughout the project due to the fact that I want it to be a film where small, less important details at first don't look important actually have symbolism and interesting roles.  So far I've realized as the creation of the project took off in production part of was still open ended and even in post production the I have started to discover a good overall message with the features and topics that used for of this project and the project as a whole. 

 Hello everyone,  for my final project I will be incorporating Frame animation sequencing, Photoshop layers and compositing techniques surrounding the different stages or transformation of the moon. I have been struggling with my concept a bit, but I know the project can go in many different directions. I would like to use the layering sequence that we used for the GIF project but with the composition techniques used in our landscape project. I also wanted to use a photograph that I took to be the base image of this project. This project seems to be really opened ended so I am still trying to figure out the organization of the layering. 

two options (sorry I didn't know how to make this any longer) option one:  First, I would record myself reading the short story. Then create different imagery and short animations (text and/or drawings) for each chunk of the story. then I would add different sound fx and soundtrack to match the mood or what's happening in the story and the animations. and do that throughout the story. I would use premier as the main editing place and some of the images and such I would create on photoshop. I would do the text in premier.  option two:  (technically already finished this one during break) create a partial lyric video.  I have a song that just came out and footage from different angles and locations. So I match all the footage to go with the lyrics and the song and add in drawings that I've done to combine animation and film. I would also add lyrics that match the audio. I would ad an intro that matches the aesthetic and introduces my channel and introduces the song. th...

For my final project I will try integrating photoshop and premiere pro to create a video. I am still caught between should I do a music video, or a short comedy skit. I have been experimenting with music video making for the past six months or more, so I have a lot of ideas. I think I am going to try raining lemons and turning it into something hopeful.

 For my final project, I will be working on multiple stills of the same object in different stages, which I will first edit in photoshop, and then transport onto premiere pro to transform them into a short video that displays the evolution of that object over an extended period.

 For my final project, I’m going to use a combination of original still images and videos, accompanied by a few different distorted sound effect clips. My goal is to combine all of these elements to create an atmospheric experience that focuses particularly on light and different sources of light. My still images and video clips will be shot using both my digital camera, and my cellphone. My sound files will be a combination of recordings that I take, as well as a few effects from the internet. I’m primarily using Premiere to edit together all of these different elements, but I’m also going to be using Photoshop to edit my still images, as well as glitching some of them using the Notepad method we learned in the beginning of the semester. For the sound clips, I’ll primarily be using GarageBand to edit them. In terms of the Transformation prompt, I’m going to be focusing on the transformative effect light has on different spaces and beings. I want to create something that feels cohe...

 So I started on a project where I work with premiere and photoshop. In this project I will act as the role of a teacher, teaching how to do some of the skills we learned in photoshop. My idea is teach a lesson on gifs and teach a lesson on the layers and how to them like I was teaching someone with maybe small knowledge of photoshop. I think it fits me as I want to either be a teacher or go into digital media someday so I thought why not combine the two passions with the final project when given the opportunity. I'm very excited and have had fun with the work on this project so far! Hopefully I can use the skills learned in class and my outgoing people skills to do well on this project

    The focus of my final project will be a GIF that I make of a ball that appears to be rolling across a yard. This GIF will include aspects of glitch art along with implementation of photo manipulation as to make the seeming normal photos that will be turned into a GIF appear to be more surreal. With the glitch art that I impose onto the GIF I hope to find a way to maintain the all of the colors in the photo while only slightly distorting the actual image with something that would seem almost as a hole that leads out of the picture/GIF. The photo manipulation that I incorporate into the picture adds a detail of wild life to suburban backyard making it seem as if the wild is coming to this backyard with a ball as the focus while the wildlife drags your eyes away and back again. The glitch art hole will be pulling the photo manipulated wild life into itself as if it were a black hole of sorts with this they will completely disappear from the ...

 For my final project I'll be making a GIF using a picture of my face morphing as it moves from the bottom left side of the image to the top right (or it will move horizontally depending on how visually satisfying the two are when compared). It will loop so there is no abrupt change in the image when it's viewed for the first, second, third, (etc.) time. I plan to use my eyes to represent the moon cycles in some way referring to the theme of transformation. I'll be using color, movement, and other visual aspects to refer to transformation and to ensure that the blending of each cycle is smooth and subtle while each cycle still makes an impact. I want to have the most eye-grabbing effect during the full moon cycle where the image really stands out, coming across as the "peak" of the loop. I may do a gradual change from black-and-white during the new moon cycle to a vibrant color theme during the full moon cycle, where it will fade back to black-and-white. 

  For my final project I plan on making a GIF. My plan is to make a GIF of an emoji that is used in many ways and how people use the emoji and the different ways in which it's used, I will be using Frame animation sequencing (GIFs), Glitch practices, and Image and text relationships. I plan to make a GIF of the skull emoji which can be seen as an emoji that is used in two different ways and can be controversial in some uses. I will be talking about how people use the emoji and make my own personal skull emoji GIF. I plan to make it flash and use the animation sequence to make the GIF in photoshop. I will also be writing a written part that will explain more about how the GIF is controversial and the ways it's used. Also ways it is used that can be seen as incorrect. That's my Final Project plan.

 Hello everyone, for my Ad analysis I had originally chosen a travel Ad but changed my mind on it. I decided to go with a state farm Ad instead that geared toward social justice. Considering everything that is going on in the world today I was intrigued that an insurance company would insert themselves in it. The Ad starts off with a young boy starring up and the phrase "your voice is your power", with this quote is starts the Ad off on a very strong note. You can tell very quickly that this Ad is targeting the social justice audience. They chose a grey scale color- I guess thats how you refer to it? to give it the feel of an older recording, to me it only shows how much history is still in our presence today. Although you can tell which clips are from the social movements from back in the day, I like the fact that they all blend in with each other. Another take away that I got from this Ad that I did not realize until after rewatching it, is why State Farm may have wanted to...

  For my ad analysis, I chose a Chipotle commercial titled “From The Earth.” The ad follows avocados through their growth, to getting picked by farmers, packaged into boxes, and their eventual arrival at a Chipotle store where they are peeled, cut, and mixed into guacamole. The advertisement uses a fast-moving, stop-motion style made up of many shots that gives the impression of a long period of time condensed down into 30 seconds. The beginning of the ad depicts the actual growth of a tree that eventually buds an avocado out. It seems like some kind of animation was used for this part because it seems very unlikely the producers would actually be able to film this entire process, but the stop motion style is playful and satisfying to look at, so we’re supposed to suspend our disbelief. A voiceover plays over this portion, but is mostly absent in the rest of the ad. It begins with: “At Chipotle, we believe the best food on earth is the best food from the earth.” After the avocado i...

 So this young couple just moves into their apartment, and at first, they seem to be excited about its features like the natural light and hardwood floors, but then the excitement on their faces is shortly lived as they vaguely mention the "clogging problem". Though they try to pretend like it is not a major issue or deal-breaker for them, you can see the God-not-again expression on their faces. What I find the most humorous in this ad is the double entendre that was so well used. My very first time seeing this commercial, I expected the next scene to be some ill-mannered plumber attempting to unclog their kitchen sink when the guy awkwardly mentions "there is a bit of a clogging problem." but then Geico did the absolute unexpected when the "clogging problem" turns out to be a whole family of Cloggers (clogging is a type of folk dance much like tap dancing) living above them. Which dramatizes and brings to life the many imagined scenarios explaining the lo...

This ad was cool, even though it was promoting alcohol [Budweiser Lemonade Seltzer]. I loved the themes and message. It focused on 2020 as being a hard year due to the pandemic. Most of the characters in the ad seemed to be professional athletes. It was interesting how, throughout the ad, lemons kept falling from the sky. It is pretty clear to me that this ad is targeting beer drinkers and people from the cool crowd, persuading them to buy their brand of seltzers. Seeing that 2020 was a tough year socially, this ad will have an effect on people who drink and want to change their feelings toward the pandemic. I went out and got some seltzers! I realize that these ads are using a deceptive form of advertising to get consumers to buy their products, even if they don't need them. Again, it's about selling, and it’s done so skillfully, all we can do is keep watching. The ad is full of calamities associated with the lemons falling from the sky: a bride hides under a table cr...

  I chose the “Dial Body Wash TV Commercial, 'Moments That Make You: Dog” This ad threw me for a loop at first due to how dramatic the scene is. naturally I quested what it had to do with body wash. I feel this was targeted for people who like dog, and who have a sense of humor. I believe this ad is very contradicting as well as complex depending on how perceived. I say that because due to how dramatic the ad is from the start up until the stranger asks “Is he okay” it seems like the dog is injured. Some may not find that very appealing in any commercial let alone one for body wash and can steer them away from the product. In the same instant the music in the back along with the rain, how she was running in slow motion and had to stop to adjust the dog in her arms creates a sense of concern. It makes you curious as to what’s going on. It gives a sense of security and comfort as well. The way they made it seem as if something was wrong with the dog even tho there wasn’t gives off a ...

                                                                                                                                                                       Lemos    The ad I chose was for Rocket Mortgage Super Bowl 2021 commercial. Before looking at the colors and the placement of everything in the ad, you can tell that it’s promoting having security. When I was watching the commercial I realized that I didn't actually know what they were offering. This makes me assume that ...

  https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ta90/allstate-duet-song-by-pet-shop-boys The Allstate TV Commercial, 'Duet' Song by Pet Shop Boys used great methods  to attract its target market to purchase All State. The commercial begins by showing an All State phone notification that the driver just saved $718 once he switched over to All State and saved. The next shot goes back and forth between the angel on the hood of the car and the man driving the car. They both sing back and forth to each other singing a song about making money. Next the song says “I got the brains” and they continue to sing on and are super happy. The driver is also out in the middle of the desert driving and can see out for miles as the beautiful summer sun beats down on him while driving. Next the narrator says people saved $700 switching to All State and then finishes saying their jiggling “saving is easy when you're in good hands” which insures the viewer they are in good hands. Then the driver drives off in the ...

 

 

  https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ti4O/facebook-groups-house-plant-hobbyist      The commercial starts off with a young man who looks like this is his first apartment, the living room he's in doesn't look like an established home. The color of this scene is desaturated, the lonely plant withered with a $15 sticker on it. There is a moving box in the background, behind the plant. This is likely his first plant in his new apartment, and he needs help bringing it back to life. He wants to feel like a true adult, but he needs help. He goes to Facebook Groups for plant owners and posts his dying plant situation-- "How can I fix this?" A girl who looks about the same age comments "Have you tried singing to it?" He's a little baffled by the suggestion, but tries it anyway. "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher & Higher" by Jackie Wilson starts to play, relating to how his love and attention for his plant helps it to grow substantially higher by the end of th...

  The argument of the Adidas commercial is about buying their product because it can help you "Break Free" from your boring life. In the instance during the ad when the main character looks to his Adidas brand shoes then he starts to run and attempts to break out of his nursing home, this shows him trying to escape something that is boring and it is something that many people experience at an old age which helps make the ad relatable to older viewers. The opening scene of the ad shows his normal day at the nursing home with a sad/bored expression on his face through the whole day, this helps to show that it was all bad before he put on the Adidas. After his first attempt at trying to break out he is stopped by the faculty who show mean/angry faces and this helps to convey that other people don't want you to break free from your boring life and that they want your life to stay boring so you have to break free. The Adidas ad shows good usage of their slogan and persuasive m...

Here's the art piece that got accepted to that regional exhibition that you gave us the link to. Acrylic on canvas. Thanks!

 

 I was drawn towards the section on the issue of the copyright that Nick faced. He used what should be viewed as a public domain video source, for an educational video and gave credit to where the video came from and how it was published. A third party company then claimed copyright infringement on the video, since they had purchased the rights from another company or the original media producer, and forced youtube to put advertisements on Nick's video. Thus taking any revenue Nick had hoped to receive for his educational video and collecting for themselves. He then goes on to discuss how the original intent behind the copyright laws was to create a safe haven for new producers/writers in America, to publish work and other's culture to start the American Public Domain. This gave them 14 years before the work was put into the public domain for anyone to use. This has been reworked now to benefit corporations and other businesses, instead of the producers and public. This new rew...

Great to see the GIFs popping up on the blog! Remember to also upload the GIF files to our shared class Google Drive. Keep me posted with any questions or issues.

 Hi, Can any of you guys share with me how you were able to post your gif assignment on blogger? when I attempt to post mine, it comes up as a broken/unviewable file. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I will greatly appreciate it!

  The only thing I was confused about was selecting 256 from the color menu...I wasn't sure where it was.

 

 Not sure where my obsession with bright flashing lights came from, but here it is! I had made another where I used the "Liquify" option much more but it was... creepy? 

 

 So I cant draw for the life of me but I decided since I was next to Batman I would turn myself into the Joker!

 

 

 

 

  Brady Chaban  Assignment #1 Blog Post Response  After watching the videos, there were a few things that stood out to me: First being in How To / Why Make Internet Art that online language is a whole new language just like the english language. Another thing that stood out to me was Steve Jobs talking about how to not live in this life as it is and be the one who creates it to a new thing, like the advancement of technology, through computers for example. I thought the concept of data bending was pretty cool, that I could change an application through changing it by opening through a different file type and making edits. Aftering watching definitions && conditional statements, the art side of glitching stood out to me, looking at all the beautiful art created through glitching is truly outstanding. In the politix in/of glitch art, the insight that we create then lives in the glitch arts world. It was interesting to hear here that we should look at these as our en...

 

 

 I had no idea glitch art was called glitch art let alone, I didn't even know glitch art was a type of art. Data bending seems to be an asset in the process of glitch art. I feel the definitions and conditionals gave a different outlook on the definition of glitch are. Within that I found a more clear understanding for said definition. Before reading the article I never knew how much glitch art was used as an influencer in everyday life. The one question I have is was the first piece of glitch are purposely made or an accident that lead to a longer type of art? i ask this because it says glitch art is purposely made.

I found “How to / why make internet art” to be the most eye-opening and also inspiring of all the video essays we watched by Nick Briz. There was obviously some overlap with the 3rd video in the glitch art series “The politix in / of glitch art” but it was far broader and made me think about how limitless the medium really is in creating and sharing creations. Most of us don’t really think about the power of the internet because it’s something we use every day, but as Nick Briz said, it’s still growing and not even close to complete. I really appreciated his reasoning for everyone to create glitch art on a daily basis. I think describing it not as necessarily intentionally creating art, but more as an exercise in misuse of software and technical tools to be really useful, and definitely got me thinking about it in an entirely different way. I’d like to play around more with different programs I also found the copyright video essay “Youtube content ID: what copyright gets wrong” to be e...

This is the first time that I've heard of glitch art. Or, this is the first time that I've paid attention to this subject. It was interesting listening to Nick Briz and how he described Glitch art as an intentional act and not just the result of a malfunction in software. He also talked about data bending and how manipulating files causes the image viewers see to change in unexpected ways, or otherwise glitch out. Nick Briz also laid out some very specific conditional statements. He said, “definitions + delineations help to provide context & carve out space for conversation.” It’s interesting how he terms glitch; =error he went on to say “computers don’t make errors people do”. He also said “glitch = unexpected so a glitch isn't an error”. I am trying to wrap my head around this, which leaves me with questions like, “What is the importance of glitch art? And, who uses glitch art? Am I seeing glitch art and not recognizing it?”

Introduction (Thoughts On Glitch Art) It was very cool and interesting to know that both photo & videos could be played around with to make glitch art. I realized that I always knew what glitch art was but didn't know what it was called.  How To Glitch Art Data bending was always a term that I heard occasionally. To see an actual tutorial on how to data bend a picture through text characters gave me a good insight on how this media is manipulated to create a whole interpretation of a body of work.  h Definitions & Conditionals What I got from this video was that glitch art is totally intentional. I love when the vlogger explained s how glitch art is an aesthetic and how artists can be really fascinated. Glitch art totally looks nostalgic and makes me feel nostalgic. The Politix In/Of Glitch It was really interesting when the vlogger explained how the technology is not what's important here, it's the vision of the producer and using these tools as environments. That ...

 First off, I find it very interesting how many ways there are to glitch art. Whether it be waiting for a glitch to happen, doing it yourself, or any of the other numerous ways, glitch art can be done through enough ways for it to be easy enough for everyone. Also, the seemingly random results from doing the glitch art yourself makes the whole process seem a whole lot cooler than it actually is. When we learned about glitch art in class, I thought it was exactly that, just a bunch of glitches to make a picture look cooler, but I was wrong. Glitch art does not equal glitch. It is any time an artist intentionally changes an image using glitches. Glitch artists can be met with error messages or any other ways of being stopped, which forces them to either follow their technology's rules, or actively break them. This makes being a glitch artist feel like being an outlaw. This video essay has really shown what makes glitch art "cool".

  When first discussed in class I found glitch art to be very interesting and aesthetically pleasing. It just goes to show that all art isn’t created on purpose, and some of the best pieces could solely be coincidence and made “by mistake” or by glitching something like a file. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to glitch anything on my laptop. I found it to be interesting that in “how to glitch art [part 1 of 4], Nick Briz said that “if you’re lucky” you get glitch art if you do not get the “error screen”. In the same video he said we could open it as a voice memo or the notes app on the laptop, so I wonder if I tried to “do something unfamiliar” with the voice file it would make glitch art as opposed to using the notes app on my laptop, since that didn’t seem to work. In the same video when he started working on doge, I didn’t think it would make a difference that he put a random c in, so I was surprised when it changed the color to only one portion of the picture. And later on as he ke...

 One thing that stood out to me about glitch art and the way Briz defines it is the political significance of glitch art and technology in general. Creators are biased, purposeful or not, so the product is a reflection of their bias. I had never heard of the WWF file (the one that can't be printed, in an effort to save trees) before viewing these videos, and knowing about it highlighted the extent to which technology is a reflection of one's perspective (the oil/turbine analogy did as well). Briz's copyright video also stood out to me because he's very educated in the history of technology and is using this knowledge paired with the passion he has for technology and free education to fight against those trying to suppress his efforts in exchange for effortless profit. His consistent call to practice glitch art every day for the sake of informal education on the technology that controls so much of our lives seems to be something that not every digital/social media user w...

One thing that really caught my attention about glitch art and glitches in general is the politics behind it. The fact that people could manipulate a glitch to collect data for their own purposes is a bit mind blowing. It makes me think about all the information that people put on social media not knowing or thinking that it could be shared and unsecured. Another thing that caught my eye is that people decided to make art out of these glitches. Instead of making a fuss out of this glitches or bugs they used it as a form of expression. The fact that they figured out a way to manipulate the data to their advantage as well, I wonder what the first person who experienced a glitch though about it. 

  Introduction Video - Thoughts On Glitch Art I found it interesting that videos and photos can be manipulated in a non-traditional way, resulting in a glitch effect. It is also interesting to witness the progression and increasing popularity of glitch art over time.   Video 1 -  How to Glitch Art In the beginning of the video, Nick Briz states that glitch art is like taking  “a familiar piece of technology and do something unfamiliar with it.” I think that it is important to sometimes do something that is unfamiliar to us in order to create something new and innovative such as glitch art.  Though I have seen a lot of glitch art online, I was not familiar with the process of how to create it until watching this video, which I found useful.  Video 2 - Definitions and Conditionals Nick Briz states that a “glitch is not an error” because “the computer has not done anything by accident.” Therefore, glitch art is intentional. He states that it is also...

 Firstly, I would like to say that I did not realize there was such complexity to glitch art, I mean up until now I thought glitch art "effects", especially in videos, were created through FX effects from editing software. So, the idea of coding is mind-blowing but makes so much more sense. Clearly, I have a lot more to learn and explore in the art world. These videos were very informative to me, and I am looking forward to broadening my knowledge and getting to experiment with different art pieces/projects in ways I am not yet introduced to.

 Like all art glitch art is defined by the artists and interpreted by the those who view the art while Nick Briz has a very hard definition of the what glitch art is while having a disagreement with what his younger self had defined as glitch art. Through these essays although he clearly defines glitch art in part two, I see it as undefined and unlimited as long as it revolves around technology to some degree. The reason for my thoughts is that someone can change the definition of any type of art to an endless degree but this type of art revolves specifically around technology. To put a definition on this type of art that is anything more than vague does not make sense as it could be changed by any user of this art form and if it is considered glitch art by one person but disagreed by another who has the authority to say who is wrong when it comes to art. Nick Briz Defined it strictly most likely because he disagrees with some other glitch artists on weather their art is to be cons...

Here are a few steps to try out if you are experimenting with how your GIF file will look when exported. Reminder that it is not due until next Friday, and I will go through the steps in detail in class on Tuesday. Once you have your layers ready to go (or test this anytime, you can always keep changing the layers), o pen your timeline (found in "Window" menu). Of the two options provided ("video timeline" and "frame animation") select "frame animation" and then click on the actual "create frame animation" textbox. You can also toggle between these two timeline settings by clicking a little icon at the bottom left of the timeline window (the icon should look like either tracks or frames). You should see one or all of your image layers populate in the timeline as slides. To get them all in properly, click the timeline menu (little horizontal dashes at the upper right of the timeline window) and select "make frames from layers....

 Reflection: Something that caught my eye during the glitch art videos was the fact that computers and types of files and everything reflects the creators’ beliefs. It’s something that I only realized recently with the examples of racism that comes up with different google searches and their algorithm. I thought that the text file type that didn’t allow printing was a cool way of activism.  My understanding of glitch art is that you take a piece of digital information and put it into a program that I wouldn’t normally belong in. I was wondering how the audio came into play...would it still be considered glitch art to take a screenshot of the audio and make it an overlay or something or is going into photoshop not really allowed or frowned upon.  I also found it interesting how computers kind of grew apart from art. How people tend to think of computers and computer science, coding and such as science and math removed from art. I also found Digital literacy interesting and...

I made a mess of that demo today! I was rushing and skipped a few key steps. Here's what a GIF should look like when exported and posted properly, with a couple of glitch images included as well. Just follow the instructions in the Adobe tutorial (from the "Timeline" section on) and fool around with this a bit in the coming week. We'll go back through those steps and take a look at your experiments in progress next week. Looking forward to reading your posts on glitch and digital literacy as well!
