discussion groups

I paired with scott W.  We talked about his idea to edulcate people about
web development
he works online advertising section, print, broadcast
he also wants to develop a web based platform that incorporates the ideas of 
play learn work

Peer support group

I want to be in the video audio group but I am strongly leaning toward creating a midi interface for a DAW control.  The second idea would require some engineering, programing, and HCI

Capstone ideas

My first idea for capstone was to create a documentary styled film about an important social issue.  I feel this is kind of a weak way to complete a capstone if I was to just make a film alone.  I would enjoy working with others to give each participant more focus in a certain skill set.  After completing advanced video where I worked on a documentary about animal care and control.  I have decide to try a different approach to my capstone because the resulting film was a major let down to my aspirations.

I have always been inspired by independent films like the cove to encourage social change

My second idea for capstone would to somehow incorporate my education with digital media and my experience with electrical theory and devices.  This idea is vague as of now.  I have always been interested in creating a midi controller that emits different spectrums of light where the user can break each light paired with a motion sensor to trigger different digitally controlled events.  This device could be used with pro tools, ableton, or another as of yet unknown software interface.  I feel like this idea involves to much engineering for my major in media arts.

I like this product called audio cubes but honestly this idea i thought of while djing at the melody inn, several years ago.

I would also enjoy working on studio engineering for another capstone.  I’m interested in mixing, Foley work, and studio recording.

I gained interest in Foley work after learning from Mark Pfaff, Ph.D. in advanced audio
