What good is siting alone in your room?

Sally chooses the stage over her true love

She tells Cliff

even she goes with him

it doesn't take long for her to get into one of the cheap bars again

Eventhought no one will care about her performance

her is still on the stage

it's where she belongs...

New Westphal Building

I like the new westphal building a lot

Especially this room

Sign

My friends and I got a handicap friendly suite

this sign is on my side of room's wall

I like how thoughtful those signs are

They can assitist blind people to find their own room :)

I saw this outdoor painting on my way to get art supplies

The figure makes me wounder

humans are so small

but we can project ourselves to infinate large

My Ulitmate Desk

I will design a set of deck pieces that reads my mind. It's all done by direct orders by brain and able to distinguish what order is serious and what orders are not serious and not process they.

The pieces can vertically and horizontally flow into each other like liquid, but when sits on it, it's perfectly firm. The pieces can also reshape its size and shape to fit into any functionality.

Why are you here ?

-- Because I want to learn to be a game designer.

-- Because it's more comprehensive than game design, so I can explore a wider area in digital world.

-- Because it was the only college offer I got. :( And I think I like it here now.

-- Because I like it.

-- Because I had a stupid American  dream to become a famous game people... Maybe I still do now.

-- Because there are lives, possibilities, dramas and mystrious.

-- I want to l experience each minute of my life on Earth. And or maybe find the beginning and the end.

Some reflection on stage design and image projection

Just finished a school project on producing a dance with full stage design and digital media art. The first similar show I saw was Blue Man Show and the reason why I'm interested in this project at the first place. The show was successful overall...however our degital media part got totally defeated by natural light. It inspires me to draw down some notes for furture reference:

1. Know you projector!!! You have no idea how frustrating it is to see the cool animation you make project onto the screen but looks like crap. It happens this time. I saw it would happen,so I was not unhappy. The next time, either move the projector much closer or maybe we should have much more profectional projectors.

2. Contrast. No matter what projecting condition you have, animation with high contrast always helps. In this case, we have dark yellow/brown pipes and gears and light gray background. It works in sense that at least the shapes come through... Anyway~

3. Don't do it at 6:00 PM!! If it's a open space with big windows and you are asked to do it with daylight outside, DON'T DO IT! The reason is simple, it's not going to work. I realize in order to have a decent project quality, it has to be a surface with limited other light sources' interuption. White surface is prefered, but it's something can work around.
