Nov 3 - Sins Homework Review and Video

The class went over the homework of having 10 images for one of the deadly sins: lust, wrath, pride, sloth, greed, gluttony, and envy. I was warned about my images since I tore most of it from magazines with bad tears, showing that I'm "lazy." So something for future reference. My images were for Greed, so it have people in high position and having items since I went with the Christian definition: excessive desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. Most of the 10 images set were confusing as it was difficult to pinpoint which one of the deadly sins were being portrayed, especially since pride and greed were similar. We spent a lot of time going over each one individually. Then Jimmy went off on a side topic of Gustavo Dudamel, presentation of app used for him, and time as nonlinear. (All because one of my image have Gustavo in it ;P.) He also discussed the rubric checklist for the program exit learning outcome. The checklist helps the school to know if the students are getting enough education based on outsiders' views.

Then, we saw a short video called "Powers of Ten" by Office of Charles and Ray Eames.The first half of the video shows a view that for every 10 seconds, 100 meters will zoom out from the original pinpoint of a man on a picnic in Chicago all the way out to the view of the galaxies to be like stars. The zooming sequence then reverts (zooms in) for every 2 seconds to the close up view of the hand of the man, and goes even farther as seeing the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and even further as seeing electrons as static with the 10 (-16) power magnification. This was definitely an interesting video as I've never seen a video zooming in and out of one focal point, especially of a high magnitude of 10 to the 16th powers in meters. Normally you would only see one illustration of one view in textbooks, not a whole pan out. For homework, we are to make a creative briefs for the video. The creative briefs are the basic information of the who, what, why, etc of the project/design.
