I used Photoshop to composite several images of the lizard and pigeon in different locations in New York to tell the story of their friendship.

My Animation

“Excitement”

Fall 2023

After Effects

I animated the emotion “Excitement,” using a basic shape with a floating animation path, which I then duplicated and nested within the composition.

I used Audacity to edit a recording I made on my iPhone introducing a podcast about BMCC. I added some background music and a bell sound effect for the beginning intro. I added some effects, including a noise gate to remove background noise and published a .ogg file.

Self Portrait

Title: Self Portrait (Pigeon and Lizard in the City)

Semester/Year: Fall 2023

Software: Photoshop

For my Self Portrait, I started with an image of a city, because I live in a city, and since the image had a pigeon, I thought the pigeon could use a friend, so I used Photoshop compositing techniques to add a lizard into the image.
