Final project presentation

One last "Hurrah":

The Communication Department at Shepherd had its senior capstone presentations. As a part of that, I presented my final project, Sound Shadows and a World Revealed. 

For the presentation, I took what information I got from the faculty review of my project and used it to polish my film and the presentation board. Having a pre-review reminded me of the importance of setting aside time before the due date of a project to review what you've done and allow oneself time to correct anything that doesn't line up. 

Overall, the presentation went very well. I was able to alter the digital effects that I used to create the look of sound shadow sight in order to more closely reflect my vision of what I wanted the world of sound shadows to look like. The idea of pixelation and objects being barely visible was something that was very important to me in creating the effect; as often what you don't see is more important than what you do see in art. 

From the faculty, other students, and members of the community I was able to get good feedback about the film and had interesting conversations about the theory behind the film. While I was happy to talk about the technical aspects of the film, I was even more thrilled to have the chance to tell people about the theories behind the film; I've been thinking about this concept for a number of years and it was amazing to see a long-standing  idea come to life through the process of making this film. 

I'm excited to have had the opportunity to show my film to so many people and to see what my fellow students had been working on.
