This week picked up pretty quick especially when compared to week 1. We got our assignment for Production Studio. Basically, the entire semester is devoted to our class outputting a demo project based on the professor's requirements. Our project is supposed to ultimately be a web browser based application that takes in a song and crafts a 3d artistic scene based on the musical data. For this initial week, we were supposed to put together research presentations about present web technologies, api's, music data, and sound files to determine what tools we would end up using to make the project. I did a presentation on the visual style of Roger Dean(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Dean_%28artist%29) who was the main influence for this project, and the artist behind many 70's classic rock album covers. I also covered model loading in THREE.js.
For my Modern Japan Film class, we read some poetry collections from the Heian Period of Japan. In my other film class, Global Cinema - German Film, we watched the old German films The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and The Last Laugh. I enjoyed both of these classes and found the videos surprisingly entertaining despite the lack of any color.
In my Casual Game Development class this week, we did in class exercises to put together a chain reaction game called "Boomshine". In my BizLegFOSS class, we performed a FirstFlight assignment to hook us up to github, and we did a Literature Review and Video Review on Everything is a Remix(http://everythingisaremix.info/). The First Flight assignment was a breeze because I had already done the assignment last year in HFOSS. Last thing to note this week is that my music class started learning some basics about reading musical notes and figuring out how to objectively describe a song.
