Depression

Spring 2025

Software: Adobe Animate

I animated my depiction of how I observed people who were depressed around me. I often notice they try to imitate an overly joyous personality to get a break from their broken sad state. My biggest challenge was overcoming my personal relationship with depression to provide a bigger message for those who may need it!

My Final Audio Project

Channel 7 News Station by Richard Bygrave (Spring 2025):

I used Audacity to complete my Audio Project. A dream of mines when I was young was to be a News reporter, this dream came because of the movie I am imitating within the Script, “A Cloudy chance of meatballs”. I used 5 different sounds that came together to make up my project, these included two different audios to build the introduction sounds, I used a breaking noise sounds, and I have a background soundtrack that fades in at the end to signal the end of the audio. Lastly, I used my own voice to contribute to the project by being the News Reporter and the Weatherman. I think the hardest part of this project was having the creativity to figure out if I wanted to do it and if I even wanted to continue the project after hitting a writer’s block.

my baseball animation

I used lines and circles shapes to create stick figures playing baseball to show my love for the sport. I always wanted to do something like this and hopefully I can make a better one in the future.

Friendship Animation

I created a storyboard animating a ball creating a friend with another shape. I used Adobe Animate to create a classic tween to show both shapes moving other. I did this without the added gif and created this animation by scratch.

I also created a storyboard showing my animation. Overall I had fun doing this even though I was a little frustrating with some of the animation buttons lol.

Dream Of Butterfly Cover | Final Audio Post

I had fun playing with Audacity, I would like to use it for more projects! I added some more EQ and echo effects to specific parts of my vocals to give more of that spacey feel in the original Japanese song.

Song: Dream Of Butterfly – Persona PSP, by Shoji Meguro 

Final Project

Spring 2025

MMP 100 Audio Project

For my final edit of my audio I finally fixed one of the background audios that went on longer than the other audios that I did not catch early on. I also tried to go for a more hyper-pop type of sound for this audio but it did not come out that way so instead I tried to go for a more overwhelming + overstimulating sound. I changed the volume for my third audio, making it loud in the beginning but then having it go lower as the audio goes on because I did not want to make it sound too unpleasant to listen to. The sound did not change much because I did not want to go too off the rails from the way it initially sounded.

Sounds I used:

Final Episode: Mom w/3 Boys

On this episode of Mom with 3 boys, I have special guests joining us to the show. As far as the edits on the Audio I played a lot with the pitch and sound of my guests voice. I noticed they talked a little bit lower then I did so I raised the volume and tweeked the EQ as well as pitch. I tried to clean out any background noise. Unfortunately one of the guest was munching on chips. This one for me was more fun than the others. I wish I could have saved the bloopers. Below are the links of the sounds I used. I continued with the same outro just changed the intro.

Project 1: Image

“A time is coming” Mahina Onekea, Spring, 2025

For the final image, I decided to make a new collage with two medival paintings I found, using the different blend filters to mash the images together. The main painting visible is “The Death of Saint Anthony.” So I used a quote by him for the text portion “A time is coming when men will go mad.” For the pattern I used the eraser tool to cut out an image of a gold flower sculpture. I wanted to use this over the text but it didn’t show up as well as I planned. Instead, I overlayed and distorted the pattern across the image for the final piece.
