Frame 6 - Camera Cuts To Over Her Shoulder View
Frame 6 -~Camera cuts to over her shoulder view.
~Camera follows MazeRoll walk towards project "OldIsNew"
She picks up the magic object, and walks pass the *Mini Monsters, *Winston, *Kaki, and *Fuzz Luv. She approaches the project "OldIsNew" and.....(to be continued)
*Mini Monsters - MazeRoll's quickly developed prototypes who assist MazeRoll through clapping, puking, and cheering
*Winston is a large one-eyed production pot where MazeRoll combines Taiwanese cultural items including authentic rolls of cloth and dipping sauce.
*Kaki - This is her pet cactus that seems to never need maintenance and eats house mosquitos.
*Fuzz Luv is about the more LUV you give, the more surprises you get!
Frame 5 - MazeRoll Parkours
Camera follows MazeRoll *parkouring off the loft bed!*Parkour - To be more specific, the author is suggesting MazeRoll executes a front tuck off the loft bed.
Frame 4 - Glasses On
MazeRoll puts on her *glasses and gets ready to parkour off her loft bed.
*Glasses: In reality, both Maze and Carol actually wear glasses
Frame 3 - Idea Strikes
Sound Note To Self : Compose the rhythm of a striking ideaAn idea strikes!
MazeRoll awakes!
She decides to execute her idea in the next frames
Frame 2 - MazeRoll Sleeping
The camera pans upward above the rolls of Taiwanese cloth where MazeRoll sleeps. She rests above her supply of Taiwanese cloth, because the material helps her cope with the feelings of homesickness and creative inspiration. The Taiwanese fabric symbolizes traditional Taiwanese art and the relation of all things old represent new.
Frame 1 - MazeRoll's Taiwanese Cloth
It's the year 3030 in this is a storyboard. MazeRoll is a collaborated character of Maze Hsaio and Carol Chiu's thought process. The working concept is narrating the story of a Taiwanese monster (aka OldIsNew) coming to life in a Brookyln New York loft. The authors are encouraging audience to plot the next potential scenes.
Frame 1 - The camera is focused on the large tall rolls of traditional Taiwanese cloth. The material has bright flower patterns and seems to stare back at you as if they have eyes and life to them. The cloth symbolizes traditional Taiwanese art by representing 'old is new'.
Monster doll - 'OldisNew'
1.Current thesis concept: My current thesis concept is weird narration provokes weird music. This concept is important to me because I would like to design sound which narrates the animation. This is important to others because the synergy of both elements conveys a clearer storyline. The story here is how a Taiwanese monster comes alive through an animation. This animation is left opened ended because the audience is allowed to influence the direction of the storyline.
2. The storyboard focuses on the concept verification. This concept verifies that one's imagination can come alive through a storyboard. The end goal for this one design experiment is to collect other people's imagination data. For example, the audience might say, 'the monster doll comes alive through dancing to beats,' or 'the monster doll begins cooking Taiwanese cuisine.'
3. The specific question I am attempting to answer deal with material selection in the production process. They are the following: "Does the music assist in narrating the story?" "Do the colors help convey the story?" "Is it interesting?" "Is the storyline interesting to follow?"
4. The kind of experiment I engaged in paper prototyping on a storyboard. The first set of storyboard are thumbnail size made with pen and sketch paper. This first storyboard told the story of MazeRoll waking up with an idea and running towards her lab station to tune up her monster. The next scene continues when she approaches her boss with her monster doll. Her boss disagrees and dismisses her. MazeRoll is upset and disappointed. She returns home to her Brookyln loft and tosses her monster doll towards the corner wall. Then she climbs into her bed and begins sleeping.
5. No I did not answer all the design questions. But I am almost ready to test because production takes me 1-2 weeks. It takes 1-2 weeks because I hand draw, scan, color and redraw the scenes. Also, I notice some angles are more challenging to draw so some frames take up more time. I have decided to produce an interactive story board online. I have planned for it to include a musical loop in the background, two buttons (next) (back), and a place for commentary. As of now, I have a few frames and have begun building the site.
The cause and effects relationships between the events is drawing out idea in a storyboard causes it to be drawn out more clear to where the audience understands what is happening.
The new that questions arose are, "why are some frames more challenging to draw than others?" "How can I draw them faster and more efficient?"
My thesis concept is in the area developing a thesis concept through storyboarding. The next thing is to design the story montage online with music and sound looping in the background.
6. The next questions is testing this story montage on my audience. My audience has a Taiwanese influenced background. They are people interested in Taiwanization and driving products that develop Taiwan's independence. Also, they are kidults, which are adults who enjoy behaving in kid mentality. They enjoy toys, animations, and other imaginative driven media.

Dream Machine
The following is called the Dream Machine. I thought this was be very interesting to install in this gallery. The first picture is my quick prototype of the Dream Machine. The second picture is what it should look like. It is a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli.
Questions for Self
Questions:
How does architectural space influence the sonic atmosphere?
I am interested in DJing at the club atmospheres that have a designated dance floor, installed lighting, installed sound system, and various lounge/ seating.
How does this audio atmosphere influence people’s decision or actions?
As a DJ, the music I play music should be at least 90-120 bpms with catchy texture. This atmosphere with large sound and reverb creates excitement amongst audience. Thus leading to people dancing on the floor.
How do sonic artifacts represent people and their history?
The style of music and atmosphere can be influenced by one's identity. People identify themselves through style of music, style of dance, and their social peers. Their clothes also make up their identity. I would like an audience to identify themselves with the style of music I play.
How do people decide the creation of sonic artifacts?
As a DJ, it is important to ask the question:
What type of DJ am I going to be?
There are several main types as follows: commercial radio DJ, college radio DJ, club DJ, lounge DJ, after hours DJ, mobile DJ for corporate events, weddings, house parties, children's events, high school dances, bed room DJ, garage DJ, battle DJ, remix/ production DJ, scratch DJ (turntablist), animation DJ, experimental DJ, and street promotions DJ.
Why do some people underestimate the power of sound?
I think because you cannot see the physical properties of sound traveling on air. People are visual creatures and use their eyes to make decisions, where it's important to use all your senses to make decisions.
Motivation:
To create and entertain audience through music rhythms and visuals rhythms in a real time performance;
To define and analyze the type of atmosphere and audience I am seeking to perform for;
To push the envelop of the traditional disc jockey role; To utilize sound effects to create audiotistic illusions;
To create an organic audio palette (of music, beats, sound effects) and visual palette (of dancers) that defines me as Pimptre$$; To create a visual palette (of dancers) that enhance the musical experience;
Domains: Music and visual performance, harmonics, frequencies, sound perception, organic sounds, inorganic sounds, computerized sound, illbient, electronica, down tempo, chill out music, multi channel sound, dream machine, stroboscopic flicker, plunderphonics, sound collage, turntable, gramaphone, phonograph, mash up, analog vs. digital mediums, beats per minute, reverb, ambience, sound effects, rhythm, sound amplification, resonance, (attack, decay, sustain, release) ADSR, pitch, Ms Pinky time code, climatic build, decibels, signal flow, bpms, beat matching, mix down, EQ, auxillary, send, return, patch cords, analog to digital, digital to analog, ping pong delay, tape delay, filters, low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass, vocoder, distortion, and distortion

What is openGL?
What is openGL?
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics. The interface consists of over 250 different function calls which can be used to
draw complex three-dimensional scenes from simple primitives. OpenGL was developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) in 1992[1] and is widely used in CAD, virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, and flight simulation. It is also used in video games, where it competes with Direct3D on Microsoft Windows platforms (see Direct3D vs. OpenGL).

Glitch
A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature. The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery.'
Glitch is a term used to describe a genre of experimental electronic music that emerged in the mid to late 1990s. The origins of the glitch aesthetic can be traced back to Luigi Russolo's Futurist manifesto The Art of Noises. In a Computer Music Journal article published in 2000, composer and writer Kim Cascone coined the term post digital to describe various experimentations associated with the glitch aesthetic. Glitch is characterized by a preoccupation with the sonic artifacts that can result from malfunctioning digital technology, such as those produced by bugs, crashes, system errors, hardware noise, CD skipping, and digital distortion.[2] Cascone considers glitch to be a sub-genre of electronica.

MAX Msp Jitter Class Notes with Andrew Benson
Personal Thought - I am interested in creating interactive social events while I DJ. I would like to use audio, motion, and light to trigger responses. I also would like to make abstract vidoes and post them on the web. Also I'd like to learn more about Arduino.
Comment Andrew Benson's work: He showed us some of his work and I describe it as quadramatic, elucidelic, non sensical, seizure proning, and abstract. Concept of Gliche.
Notes:
Compositing - combining 2 video streams together
Idea of mapping - How you map often becomes work, becomes interactive space, personal decision
Jit.alphablend - pixel by pixel xfade
Jit.pack - replace alpha channel
feedback - take number or data and take result and put it back to top
CV - computer vision - difficult to do well, all variables constrain to certain region -
Note - when you build your patch and then take it to a new environment
How do I convert audio into video?
