Farewell, DMA

It's been a wild few years I must say. I remember taking Intro to DMA my sophomore year, and really enjoying the class. At one point that semester, Mrs. Shields handed me an envelope with a note saying I should try DMA 1, and so I did. The class was crazy, but fun. I enjoyed it enough to want to do more, and so I did. Here I am in APDMA, typing my farewell blog post. Getting to be apart of this class was a great experience. I made friends, learned new things, did some cool things, went to some cool places. I got the chance to show off my creativity and express myself. I got the opportunity to try something that I wanted to do for a long time, which was astrophotography. I got to make my own animations, which one of them won a Gold Key Award from Golden Lions and a Mountain Lion Award from the Golden Lions awards. It was a pleasure to be in this class, and I'm sad I'm gonna have to say goodbye. So anyway, I guess this is goodbye.


Enjoy my animation, it's by far my proudest work.

  1. Your animation was done well and was really cool. I also liked the adventure behind it. Have fun going where you're going.

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Mad Max: Fury Road - Storyboard to Screen

One of my favorite films is Mad Max: Fury Road. There is practically no dialogue in the entire movie, so when George Miller sat down to write the film, he decided that it would be better to hire a team of people to storyboard his vision. Script to Screen is a Twitter page that compares the film to its screenplay, but here the storyboards from Fury Road are compared to the scenes, and it is so fascinating to watch.
