Hues n Cues Review

I played Hues and Cues a couple weeks go, and I very much enjoyed it. I really had a hard time coming up with words for the particular colors. I saw that I had an easier time with certain shades at first, but it became harder to come up with words after a while though because it became a bit repetitive with the color picks. So as much as I loved the game and would maybe play it again at a family party, it wasn’t my favorite game in the entire world.

4D Final- Harmony Jablon

“Who am I?”

I believe my video, a combination of stop motion animation and performance/video, is the perfect visualization of a self-portrait of me. I find it very difficult to pick one experience that I have had that “makes me who I am.” This video represents how every experience I’ve gone through has shaped the person I am today. But, I know there’s still so much more to experience, so many people to meet, and a lot of growing left to do. These future experiences will continue to form new versions of myself. At the same time, I often struggle with the idea of truly “knowing who you are,” because I don’t believe there’s just one fixed version of me. I’m a completely different person than I was two years ago, or even compared to who I was just a month ago. This video captures the idea that I am who I am because of every experience I’ve had, every person in my life, my physical being, and everything that exists inside my head and heart. But when someone asks me, “Who are you?” I still struggle to find the words to fully explain who I am.

Final Film: Stress of Perfection

Madison Hurst

Following the guidelines:

The different ways my film was able to follow the guidelines was, first, through the way I was able to incorporate stop motions scenes throughout the film. On this film I was able to use up to 5 frames per second of stop motion. Secondly, this past semester we had learned about film and how there can be obstructions on the different ways of how to make a film. An example of this, is seen in my film, Stress of Perfection, through the theme of one’s difficult strive for perfection being portrayed by the usage of different and unique individual pieces of film.
