A showcase for the BIS Multimedia degree
As part of the semester project for IMY 320, students had to write, film, and edit a short horror film. The top 3 was as follows:
Third Place: The Haunting of Humanities Hall by Code Blooded Productions
Second Place: A Safe Space by ManthaRak
First Place: Whisper by Somethin’ Studios
After learning some sound editing and animation skills, the first-years in IMY 120 were given a project in which they had to tell a story that begins with a verbal narration and ends with an animation. The best projects are shown below in no particular order.
To finish off the section on Photoshop, the first years in IMY 120 were tasked with creating a digital self-portrait around a main idea about themselves. The best submissions are shown below in no particular order.
Main idea: This is a representation of me because it captures my tendency to get lost in my daydreams and how I see the world differently. The wings represent the freedom I feel when I get lost in my own imagination. I am inspired by authors and artists who create fantasy worlds like this, which fuels my own creativity.
Main idea: I aspire to become a filmmaker and director, much like Christopher Nolan. Filmmaking is all that I do and all I want to do in the future and his films have inspired me to embrace creativity and seize every opportunity to achieve this dream. We share a similar mindset and approach, as he also didn’t study film but used his degree as a backup plan and a tool to pursue his filmmaking goals.
Main idea: The cloaked figure represents my introverted nature, gazing into a fantasy world that reflects my passion for art mythology and storytelling. The portal signifies my curiosity and tendency to daydream, always seeking ways to escape and discover new ideas. The incorporation of elements such as, dragons, runes, paintings etc. Ties into my love for creativity, fantasy and art.
For their first project in IMY 120, the students have to use Adobe Illustrator to create a tshirt design for the RedBubble.com store. Take a look at the best designs below (in no particular order).
For the practical component of IMY 211, the students are given an introduction to the workflow of Blender. Students are tasked with creating an isometric bedroom with a small character and camera animation. All of the objects in the room are modeled and textured by the students.
Here are the top 3 isometric room animations:
