Ron Carroll – MMP 100 Fall 2025

3D Model inspiration

The sculpture that inspired me is from Donald Judd. There are a series of them entitled stacks. Metal boxes of varying colors that rise in column.

I was inspired by Donald Judd’s piece, Stacks. I like the color and the repeating boxes. It was a fun exercise trying to align the boxes to look like the original. Sadly Tinkered does not have the hues that make the piece pop!

Choose Your Own Adventure

Welcome To NYC in Fall!

Fall 2025

HTML, CSS, Sublime Text, Github

My choose your own adventure was about a student who had the choice of going out and exploring NYC on a fall day. They could have went out with friends, or stay home and read or venture into the park alone.

Animation final

“Sickness”

Fall 2025

Adobe animate

I animated a story about sickness and the effect it has on a person. The pink ball represents a healthy person or being “In the pink”. The little blue balls were germs or the flu. This was part of my first draft but I made some changes by having the germs move in and surround the pink and then enveloping the pink ball completely as it shrunk down due to the sickness weakening it. I had the flu and this is exactly how I felt.

Storyboard

Animation Draft

In this animation I used Tweens and Symbols to create the feeling of Sickness. The pink ball represents a healthy person who is navigating their way through a infested space of germs that wears them down and eventually shrinks their healthiness and infects them.

Animated Gif

This is animated gif demonstrates frame by frame animation, I used the onion tool to move the boxes to give the animation an old film flicker feel.

Audio Project

The Sounds that move humans

Fall 2025

Adobe Audition

In my project I wanted to give a succinct history of the sounds that move humans. I started with the sounds of nature, wind, water, animals. An orchestra warm up follows. This illustrates the beginnings of humankind’s mastery of nature and the ability to use it to not only move them about world but in their minds as well. The following sounds showcased the rapid rise of how fast we can create new modes of transportation, so fast that humans will leave the Earth and that will be left is the wind. I used compression and a limiter as well as normalize to smooth out a lot of the engine sounds. I think the hardest thing about the project was what I wanted to achieve and I had to restart it a few time to achieve the sound I liked.

Audio Edit

In this edit I used the compression, EQ, and normalization to smooth out the mix down and I stretched the howl for a dramatic effect. I also moved the howl from the first sample.
