Back from Holidays

Today Roger gave us a presentation about our assessment and what we need to be doing. I found this was very helpful and a good reminder of some of the things that I need to do now and later on in the year.

Roger also showed us how he used Site Meter to see who was viewing his blog. I thought that it was an interesting tool to use, so I decided to use it on my blog as well, just out of curiosity. It seems to be pretty easy to use. I have it all up and running, so it'll be interesting to see if I get any overseas hits.

Apart from that, I didn't get to much done today... the lack of computers was frustrating. And then once I found one, it was really slow and took ages to boot up.

Thats about all I have to report about at the minute. Hopefully I can start work on my own short film pre-production soon.

Last lesson before easter :)

Well, here I am wondering what to do for the next hour before I am officially on holidays. I have little to do at the minute, because I am basically waiting to have some spare time so that I can seriously consider what I want to do for my own personal project, hopefully this will get done in the next week.

I also joined up to the Glassbiscuit Developments wiki, and had a good look around. It's impressive how much work they've managed to get done. It makes me feel a bit slow!!

First post in ages!

Well, it's been quite a while since I updated my blog for my Interactive Media class. I have agreed to help Dan make a short film involving the line between the Virtual world and reality, whilst I am still trying to come up with an idea for my own personal project.I know that I am interested in making a video, but I need to come up with an idea for my video that I think I will want to work on for the rest of the year - there is nothing worse than coming up with an idea only to lose interest in it half way through the year - especially if it is too late to change your mind. I am now aiming to finalise my creative idea for my project in the easter holidays, and hopefully get some preliminary storyboarding done as well. Once i have completed my storyboard i might upload it to this blog so that everyone can see what I'm doing.

Apart from this, I've been trying to play Second Life, with mixed results. I tried to play it at home but it seems that my internet connection is a bit slow to be able to play it, which was annoying. Then I tried to play it school, but it wouldn't work. After a week I managed to play it a little bit, but it kept crashing on me so I got annoyed and therefore I am going to give it a rest for a while.

I've also attended a number of various presentations by Roger and Dirk during regular class time. These have been interesting and I'm sure they will invaluable in aiding the way I think about this course, my future project and the way I go about it.

First Week in Interactive Media

So I've just had my first week in my Interactive Media class at Hobart College. As part of the course we've been told to sign up to a whole bunch of website & blogs, so that is the reason for creating this blog. This is the first blog I've written, so I'm not really sure whats going on at the minute.

So apart from signing up to various website I've been trying to think of some awesome ideas for my major project. Unfortunately I haven't had many ideas worthy of mention on my blog yet. Hopefully by the next time I write I will have a better idea of what I want to do.
