My idea was somewhat simple. We see a tent sitting in a void. Someone inside flashes a flashlight on and off spastically. But it hides a message. It’s Morse code, “This is a cry for help.” This symbolizes the importance of noticing the often overlooked and sometimes incomprehensible signs from those who may be going through a difficult mental health journey.

i wanted to project this onto a dorm building so that i could animate he alien abduction a person, i was not able to execute this but i made a simulation of what i wanted to look like.
Brick Light Projection Description – Carter Dunlap
Bricks are mundane, and don’t get that much of a second look. So, I thought it would be interesting if I projected the word brick onto each brick, and had the words move around and do different things. I created different patterns and a scroll/falling type of movement with the words to make the vibe/feel of these bricks more interesting/excitable. The story I wanted to tell was that just normal bricks being bricks can be seen as boring, unappealing, or mundane. However, if they spiced things up, moved around, and did something, they would seem more engaging, and to some or even themselves, have a purpose other than just existing. This story could also apply to people.
I wanted to use to different perspectives with the shadows I wanted to use first person then I wanted to use 2d. My thought process was trying and make it kind of like duck hunt. It was difficult trying to move my flashlight and to make it look like the first person was looking back and forth while trying to lower the objects I would like to work more on this to try and fix some of the shadows.
Idea 1: What it means to be Alive (Self Portrait - Dome)
(Self Portrait Critique of my life and society)
Concept:
- the journey of stepping into summer very isolated to moving through college finding my sparks through crochet, friends, and the gym, finding times where I felt most alive.
Flips back and forth from own habits on social media to actually living
- Chest Strap? Head Strap?
Idea 2: Journey through life (Narrative - Dome)
Concept:
- One Person walks up the rotunda through various times in the day. Representative of life’s journey and the climb to success (success being the development into one’s self)
- Angles? Camera follow?
Idea 3: Creation (From creator to creation) (Stop Motion - Narrative)
Concept:
- Crocheted stuffed animal animated
- Process of life in the development of stuffed animal through either the creator lens or creation life
Idea 4: The Dogs’ Journey (360 Dome - Narrative of time)
Concept:
- Following the adventures of 2 Corgis
- When they wake up and how they get through the day
- The camera strapped to the corgis
Idea 5: IRL (Narrative - Dome)
Concept:
- Similar to Idea 1
- Live life through social media
- POV angle watching aesthetic life videos online
- Tries to replicate that IRL
- The hidden struggle back cuts that sort of jump in times of struggle or failure

I wanted to experiment with natural light projections that you see in everyday life. I chose to just walk through certain places and just record to see what unique light shapes or shadows were created by moving through different lights. Filming at night was also really rewarding with the amount of unique shapes and shadows and light tones and values were visible at night. Having the clouds in the one video clip was really cool to see natural light projection of the moon behind the clouds to see all those funky shapes and amazing colors. My shadow is also visible in many shots and its interesting to observe how it morphs and distorts. Using the absence of light as my main subject was kinda cool.
For this light projection project, I wanted to create an immersive piece of art that viewers could experience. I chose to document the total solar eclipse with an insta360 camera as a time lapse. For those that were not able to personally view the total eclipse, it provides an opportunity to immerse themselves into the moment. For those that watched the solar eclipse in person, it allows them to relive their experience. Ultimately, it accessibly creates a way for anybody to watch an awe-inspiring and rare event.
