Well here is the final result, the video and image of the Loch Ness Monster assignment for school.

Unfortunately I published the video in a format that requires you to watch it fullscreen to get the dimension straight… Its a bit squashed flat this way. Here it is anyway.

Oh and an older assignment I also wanted to post here: The Meaning of My Name.

Ok, so. This post is a message to God. Since I found a headline in the NRC saying: “O God [...] en ze worden atheïsten.” I decided to start my storyboard with that.

Now the next assignment was to take 15 photos that have a horizontal or vertical line going through them. We had to take photos that we could associate with words from the text. I had no idea what else we would be going to do with the photos, so I just snapped some from my bike on the way home after school.

Today at school we heard we had to darken a part of the photo along the line, and use that part to add words from the text to the photo that we associate it with. I had about 60 photos, selected 30 of them, straightened the lines in Photoshop and later in Lightroom since it was a bit easier. Then I added almost black areas to the photos usually covering the more cluttered halves, leaving the simple or more empty halves. I think simplicity in photos often makes photos stronger, unless youre specifically going for the busy, cluttered effect.

During the lesson I was becoming increasingly frustrated at seeing signs of Apple/mac/I-this and I-that everywhere. Luckily I had brought my Packard Bell “windows” laptop with me, because I was a bit late and all (mac) computers were already taken. This also had the advantage for me that I could work nicely in windows. Still, classes are being held projecting apple software onto a screen so we can all follow what they are doing, in Keynote, or I-movie, or I-Photo, etc… And of course I dont have those programs on my windows computer. Also, I cannot install them since Apple decided to make all their file formats non compatible with windows…

I will try to keep in mind that I am receiving a free Apple/mac software training here the next 3 years, and that I should use it to my advantage. I will do what I want to do on my computer, and what I need to do on macs I will do on macs.
