Pong!


Cup Pong from Daniel Ghan on Vimeo.

This is an idea I came up with over Spring Break (which was last week), filmed Monday (with a partner), and put together yesterday. The sounds came from C:\Windows\Media (they're system sounds from Windows XP). There will probably be a better one (not Pong) next week.

Olympic Medal Design

This is the final product of the medal seen in my last post. I've already entered this into the competition and have recieved an E-Mail confirming that it's valid. I will post a link to vote for this (or another medal if you like another one better) as soon as the voting opens.
Basically, I finished the curler, added the mountains, added colour, added the Olympic rings, and added the lettering. Every visible layer has Bevel and Emboss turned on. I also messed with Opacity to emphasize the illusion that the curler is close and the ski jumper is distant.

In Progress...

Mr. Sands has allowed anyone doing well in his class, including me, to do basically whatever we want (as long as we actually make computer art). I have decided to enter the medal design contest for the 2012 Youth Winter Olympics. Here's what I have so far:

Obviously the curler needs work. These are the only athletes I'm planning on putting on the medal, but there might be some other people.

Unbelievable School

As promised last week. Basically this is a picture I took of the school put onto a cloudy background and blended in a bit.
