My animation draft

Here, I animated joyfulness, using bright colors often associated with happiness. The final storyboard will most likely be much different, as I mainly did this to get a hand of tweens.

My Audio Final Edit

The Office

Spring 2025

Edited with Audacity

I used Audacity to edit a 1 minute mp3 of the ambience and sounds of a typical office workspace. I used various sounds like typing, mouse clicking, faxing, printing, doors opening/closing, and even a human voice to create the most realistic atmosphere possible. I used various audio filters, effects, and layering so all the sounds can be interpreted as coming from the same space.

Audio update with effects

I modified the first printing sound to be longer, and added an extra fax ringing and printing sound towards the end. The ending sounds were modified using the delay, pitch, and speed effects to make it sound unique compared to the ones played in the beginning. I added the extra sounds to make the entire audio clip more “full”.

My Final Image

“The Jungle World”

Spring 2025

Made with Photoshop

I decided to further enhance the image I composited together of a monkey sitting on a tree with a snake found in a rainforest. While I think the composite highlights the diversity of the rainforest, it is also a personal representation of my job at the Bronx Zoo, where one of the star attractions, Jungle World, also features monkeys and snakes. I decided to update the image with a more upbeat and welcoming vibe, utilizing the gradient map tool, ellipse tool, and an original pattern to accomplish this.

I used the following images:

My Composite Image

I composited together an image of a monkey sitting on a tree with a snake found in a rainforest. I think the composite highlights the diversity of the rainforest, the place many species call home.

My First Photoshop Composition

This is my composition created in Photoshop. This is the first time I have used Photoshop. I chose to use the rectangle, ellipse, and line tool to create a beach/boardwalk scene featuring a clear sky, sand, tree, and a white bench.
