Optimism

These are happy colors and I think the shapes lend themselves to happiness and freedom.

Pessimism

Video Podcast

My weekends are never constant; save one thing: my family. My favorite weekends involve my grandparents coming up for dinner. My family has a severe aversion to camera's and in an effort of full disclosure: not all are perfectly happy with their brief cameos.

I think I speak for many people when I say the camera carries with it this kind of threat. People are afraid how they will appear outside the context of that moment. Therefore, to combat this stigma, I decided to ask people to do something specifically goofy to loosen them up.

I think it worked.

The video I got was a simple stripped down, almost perfect capture of each of my families personalities. Many of the extended family members that know them raved upon seeing my video how funny it was. Members of our church congregation absolutely loved it.

I've thought alot about why the video was so popular, and especially in the context of digital and social media, I have observed that people love to see other people having fun. Positive energy acts as this magnet that people are drawn toward and feel compelled to explore or even become a part.

So in an effort to capture my weekend, and by proxy, my life, I present the famcam.

Attached is a preview for my project. I wanted to explore the small space of the writing center and just see what happened from there. I love the place, so I'm thinking of giving a back story, or explaining what the audience sees.

Writing Center Podcast

I love the Writing Center because it has seen me through much of my college career. It's a warm friendly place where I can go to study, find friends, or simply relax. I created this piece to break down the stigma that the center is this forbidden, or somehow inaccessible place. I address that immediately in the podcast by going beyond the space and examining the life that in incubates and the emotions that inhabit it. I alternate between my deliberately patient narrative, and actual sounds captured from the center. My intention was to explore a small space and make something bigger out of it. I was hoping to bring to my audience the kind of vibrance, and alternately, solace that I find in the center. Hope that everybody enjoys!
