INTRO TO ENGINEERING

SPRING 2015


 ALBA TABULA

FALL 2014

Alba Tabula was a channel I made in 2014 in collaboration with my friend, Nathan, who also had a deep interest in Roman history and culture. This was a passion project outside of school while we took our very first Latin classes. I continued to study Latin in high school, amounting to a total of 6 years of study encompassing Rome’s the language, culture and history.

CHARACTER DESIGN

ANIMATIONS

At the time, I didn’t have access to any Adobe softwares like Photoshop or After Effects so I used Pixlr.com to cut out images and give them transparent backgrounds. (I remember that there was no quick-select tool only a lasso tool! I had one chance at a time to trace any elements, so I did so very cautiously on my laptop’s trackpad. The online editor also did not have its own file type or autosave so any disruption to my internet connection and all of my progress was lost!) Then I would use the program Scratch to animate the elements I made in Pixlr. Then I would screen record with Quicktime player and then finally edit footage in iMovie. The image quality is obviously degraded by this long-winded process, but my passion for storytelling remained clearly intact.

VIDEO EDITING

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Like I mentioned earlier, at the time, I had limited tools at my disposal but it didn’t stop me from trying to execute my ideas!
