Art and Tech
This is my distortion video. I wanted to work on effects on this one and I teamed up with my cousin who filmed this and a friend who wrote the script. It was nice for my friend to write the script for me, I had an idea and he brought it to life.
As for the recording I filmed this in Fort Lauderdale during thanks giving break, I wanted the extra time to work on the effects.

The History of Electroacoustic Music
From all the music movements I choseVIRTUAL, TECHNO, PUNK, DUBSTEP and DISCO.
I choose Virtual because I'm working on becoming an animator and I love how we are now in a time where we can have animated bands have live concerts. It's crazy to think not only that an animated character has a lie performance but also all the prep and work they have to set up to make the performance seem real which is the whole point of the performance. As an artist for this one the Tupac hologram with snoop dogg comes to mind. I mean it differs with the other bands with Tupac being alive at one point but it stills follows the idea of what virtual is.
With techno I started enjoying this in middle school with Daft punk, I had no idea what techno was at that time but I really enjoy their music. Because I didn't know what techno was then by the time I heard about it I never really tried to look in to the music, which kind of a shame because now that I listen to some of these artist I missed out on some good music. The Artist/ song I would have to say Technotronic Pump up the Jam, I find this a hilariously awesome song. Even watching the video it screams easily 90's. I mostly chose this for how funny I found the video but it follows a beat which at the time was popular or should I say Funky freas... Yeah no...
OMG The Sex Pistols I can't remember the last time I heard one of their song, granted I only heard like 2 songs they did... *cough.. Anywho! I was never really in to punk music there are a few songs I'm sure I do enjoy and listen to, but I never really looked into music like that. The group I chose for this was Green Day American idiot, even though I don't like punk that much Green Day music and the song I chose are an exception for me. I'm not sure why maybe I need to listen to more punk music, but the first 7 songs before I got to green day just didn't feel me the right way. IDK I'm weird!
I chose dubstep not because I hate it or not because I like it I'm kind of in this in between state with it where I don't know how I feel about it. I've heard some of my favorite childhood cartoon theme songs get turned into dubstep music on Youtube, which is where I first heard about this genre. But Like I said I don't like it or hate it, I guess it depends on how the artist prepares the song. I do prefer Upbeat tones as long as it has that I guess I would like what ever song they choose to play. As for the artist I chose a YouTuber Beeedthemoviemaker "Kingdom hearts Dubstep (HD)" Because this is one I do enjoy plus it's a game I wanted to get into but I never had the right concel to play it.
And Finally Disco the one I know more about and know I listen too. I grew up with my dad singing songs, and he may have not sang too much disco music that was one genre he would play on the radio, but I also think disco music has to be the most popular on the whole list I mean I could be wrong but if I remember correctly Tv shows used to play a lot of disco music and they still do. Sherk 2 had Funcky Town! Which is btw the song I chose by Mouth to Mouth.
I chose these movements for 3 reasons. 1 I knew what these movements are or at least heard about them. 2. I wanted to learn more about these movements. 3. there was a song or band that I liked in there. And Each artist I chose for each movement I really enjoyed and why not add bands that I like when they are part of that movement. Now time for a back story, I never really looked into music through their Genre but more so how I enjoyed the music or song I was listening to. Even writing this blog I didn't realize what group some of these bands belonged to and that was nice learning a bit of information like that. I am always that person who never heard of a band and people keep freaking out that I never heard of a Blink182 song or saw Youth in Revolt things like that and then I never look into what ever I didn't see or heard because I either forget or theres just too many things I've never experience and trying to do everything is too stressful or whatever, so this was a good excuse to learn alittle bit more about these music groups.

Art and tech
I originally wanted to scan my face with my scanner but for some reason my scanner couldn't connect to my computer so I used the scanners at school. I didn't trust the scanners enough to put anything other than my hands on there, so I came up with a new idea involving my hands. Before I get to that I wanted to make sure I had a lot of hands to choose from so I scanned m hand a few times and Printed different sizes.
The longest part was cutting each hand out, I ended up printing more than what I needed but I didn't know how much I would need. So yeah that was fun. I also high five a few of my hands after they were cut out to keep my morale up cutting all these hands over and over and over... I may have gone insane while doing this. Also it was cool seeing my hands in different sizes and comparing them.
These next two pictures is me putting the hands together coming up with ideas on how they should react to each other. I did have something in mind but I also wanted to see how it would look all together.I glued some of the hands together as you see below where the hands are grabbing each other, this was the biggest idea I had in mind that I started off with. More of a unity type of idea in a since, but that didn't really crossed my mind at the time. I was trying to go for a cool looking collage type of thing, which I do think I did but I'll explain what I see in this piece and how I feel about it in the last paragraph.
So here is the finial piece, I ended up adding 2 to 3 layers of hands because I didn't want the white to show. I feel like if I only did 1 layer or at the very least left some hands out it would look how I wanted it to turn out, but I'm also glad I didn't do that. My first thought on this piece was disturbing in the since that it reminded me of chaos in society, which made me enjoy this piece more because now I was thinking about how this made me feel. I felt like even though there were a bunch of hands reaching out for each other helping each other in-between them were hands trying to help themselves pushing the other hands away. So my mind set was in a negative way comparing these hands to society, but then as I looked at this piece again taking out of the car I saw hope. Instead of this chaotic mess of hands only looking out for themselves I realized that the hands that are working together reaching out for each other stood out more to me, at least when I looked at it this morning. I'm not sure if it was because of my mood or what but this made me think how people could see different things in the same artwork and now I would like to see what everyone else thinks of this.

30x30 Batman!!!!!!
First I started off getting two pictures One of me as Batman at comic con and a Gotham illustration from the Arkham video games. I edit them on photo shop and Made it black and white.
And Boom! All shaded in!!! It ended up as 30x32 but hey I liked how it came out!!!
I also added some color on photoshop as a bonus to the black and white one.
In All I did somewhat enjoy making this. I mean I took a lot of my time to do each square but I loved how it came out in back and white. One thing I didn't realize was after I set up coloring each square 30 by 30 I didn't realize the grid I used was 30 by 28 so some distortions were made in the process but I came out close to the original piece.
