Research Day

Yesterday was Drexel’s annual Research, Innovation, Scholarship and Creativity Day where students present projects that they have done to be judged. I presented my thesis by creating a poster, video with all digital assets (including music) compiled together, and display of some of the influential books I read as well as my notes and sketches. The judges really seemed to enjoy my presentation and project. Awards will be announced May 9 so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I brought the footage from filming in Mandell Theater Winter Term into Combustion and used a difference key to silhouette the dancers. After the footage was silhouetted, it needed to be brought into Flash and the bitmaps needed to be traced so that the letters could be programmed to bounce off the dancers. more »

Back in Los Estados Unidos

I just got back from my Spring Break vacation- a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise through Royal Caribbean. Highlights including walking Duval Street and eating at Margaritaville in Key West, sunbathing on the white sands of Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, and exploring Mayan ruins on a jungle hike in Cozumel, Mexico. Check out some pictures from the trip.
