With this Independent Study, I intend to broaden my knowledge on animation. I have delved into GIFs on Photoshop, but never rendered full 3D graphics. I hope to start with figures or objects, then progress into moving images and videos.
I hope to create something similar to iTune’s Visualizer, a generic graphic that responds to any song played through iTunes. It can change from its default firework-like graphic, to a moving lattice graphic, etc. I seek to create multiple interchangeable versions, like iTunes Visualizer, so that the graphic will play seamlessly with any genre of music that is played along with it.
I expect to learn some basic coding in order for the responsiveness of the graphic to execute exactly what I’m looking for. I learned the basics of HTML coding last semester, and will perhaps delve deeper into that or start with a new language.
I’m also interested in presenting my graphics on a PDF website mockup as well as to be translatable on a UI/UX platform. I intend to make my graphic available on social media so that my peers can enjoy it for themselves.
