Stranger Things Project

Erika Zoffer The project includes a trial and similar modeling to the scene in the show "Stranger Things" that depicts the upside down and the monster at the end. The scene begins at the house with a spot-lit trailer in front of the player, as they move through the credit sequence a hut becomes visible in the distance and their heart starts pounding. Upon entering the house, the player hears an eery call for "mommy" from a child's voice. As the voice get's louder toward the other side of the...

Independent Learning Assignment–Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer I completed the Unity 5: 3D Essential Training on Lynda.com, so that I could learn something to help with my final unity project. Something I was unsure about how to do, was to add ambient sound or background music to my scene once we decide what track to use. The tutorial discusses how to implement an Audio Listener. I now know how to loop sound and make it play within the radius I want it to. This is important as we did not want the same music to...

Assignment 5 – Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer I adapted pretty easily to the Unity software once I got the hang of it. Honestly, my biggest problem was figuring out how to zoom in and out of the scene. Though I could easily add sounds to the objects in my scene, I still need to figure out how to make them play when I want--currently, they all seem to be activated at the launch of the scene. The possible stories that could be created in Unity really range to any extent of anything a video game...

Extra Credit – Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer My experience at the Syria event was enlightening and powerfully impactful. From the personal narratives that were told to the explanations of the larger political conflict, the speakers did a great job of making the audience feel connected to these events. As  a member of the human race, we should all be doing our part for the greater good but the speakers talked directly to us as future media makers and journalists. The skills we have here have given us the unique opportunity to draw attention to global...

Assignment 4- Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer As I am writing this from hour 5 in the computer lab with Juan, we are still contemplating how we could possibly find another solution to add our nadir into our work. We have run into every problem from having to restitch a video manually to trying 10 different ways to save our Premier file as a png. Yes, Juan frame by frame figured out how we could stitch a scene without synchronizing to audio or motion. This was necessary since, similar to the problem that the team...

Assignment 2- Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer For my 360 story, I thought it would be fun to do the "Urban Life Experience." We could shoot videos of the different workout and spin classes. Additionally, scenes that tie in with creating a healthy lifestyle could be mixed in like B-roll (i.e.. making a smoothie in the kitchen, going for a jog outside, ordering healthy food at a restaurant). The first scene could be workout class where the camera is placed in the front row across from the instructor. The height of the camera would be...

Assignment 1 – Erika Zoffer

Erika Zoffer Virtual reality is changing the way we tell stories. For the first time, humans are able to craft and transmit an experience for others in an exact way that can be repeated over and over. Last summer, I was given the opportunity to work with Oculus Rift and code for an app that Honda would use at conventions in order to allow customers to design their car and driving experience without ever leaving the room. I began to see the extent of Virtual Reality as an opportunity to...
