I See, I See, and I Are? (#26)

Welcome Glorp to my humble abode. This is the first time I'm writing a blog post at 6 am. "Why?" I hear you ask. Well, I'm going to a renaissance fair at 9 and I also have a lot of home work. So, as Pokey from my favorite childhood book said, I'm putting work before play.

My entire childhood in one photo. 

Pokey, my G.O.A.T, looking radical as always.

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Software:

We used Premiere Pro and After Effects to assemble our project. Our school pays for a subscription so we don't have to. It's the best thing in the world and I appreciate it every day. 

Zach thoroughly contemplating his great editing.

Hardware:

The editing is done on Zach's laptop and the graphics are done on mine. We used Zach's amazing, beautiful camera to film. I felt like I had a bar of gold in my hands while shooting, but it was better than a bar of gold because gold can't record video. It's not Zach's camera. Also, while shooting we had no tripod. Zach said "It's fine, I have a makeshift tripod." His makeshift tripod was a tube light. We just placed the camera on it and hoped to god our two feet whould be sable enough. The entire time I was recording, only one though rushed through my brain. "I am one with the tripod. I am one with the tripod. I am one with the tripod." There never existed a Greek god of tripods, but that day I manifested his existence. Statherón is his name, coming from the Greek word statherós (σταθερός), meaning "stable."

Online:

I used the internet's wealth of resources to research our project. Thanks to the internet, I didn't have to touch a library throughout the entirety of this project. (I'm sure before the internet they were lovely, but they've really gone downhill since.) I loved researching this project and I learnt a lot about Victorian era in the America west. I know Zach also used free online databases to get sound effects for his sound design. I listened to what he has so far, it is beautiful. Apollo would be proud.

Okay, I'm going to get ready for the fair now! I'll C, C, and R you later Glorp.
