Qian Zhu-Independent Study

I watched a 12 minutes' long video on Lynda this Thanksgiving and I found it really helpful to my final project. First of all, I want to say that Lynda is a really interesting website. I can learn many useful and helpful things on this website. The categories are clear, and all courses are divided into different sections so I can choose the pieces that I want to watch. Back to my topic. I was doing a 360 video as my final project. The main body is just simply video...

Assignment 6: Ninja and policewoman

  This time I made a fight between a ninja and a policewoman, with different kinds of people watching them and shouting for them. This time I failed again to record sound when screen recording.

Finally I did it by chance but I was still not sure what exactly I did. Also, the video exported has a really loud footstep sound. The footstep even cover...

Assignment 3: One Day with an Animal Shelter

https://youtu.be/Pf4mjeXSVUw   I went to the CNY SPCA shelter with Osung and Kyle the week before last week. It was a really nice journey and I'm grateful that Kyle had such a interesting idea to make us a good trip. During the filming, we talked about what scenes we need and did the filming together.

Although there were some accidents (like I didn't expect...
