The Second term started off with a fizzle as we’d all struggled hard to get projects submitted before deadlines and then had a week left to record our projection mapping projects. The pre-week ended with a visit to Iklektic for a refreshing view of visual effects and contemporary experimental music. Theory began the term and

Introduction In my project I am presenting three different animation sources. The first is a circular sine wave depiction that grows and shrinks over time, using the sine function to control that growth and give the illusion of an outward or inward wave pulse depending on whether the number of tiles is increasing or decreasing.

For this week our task was not to listen and engage with a lecture but instead engage with each other. For it was group project selection week. Dun Dunnn DUNNNN. Halloween has just after all.
