Camara Obscura

This project required us to purchase trash bags to tape up a window in a room blocking out as much light as possible. We then cut a hole in the center and taped a piece of cardboard with another hole in the center on top of it (acting as the camera lens). I got the image to be quite clear and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I don't have anything outside my room besides other apartments so unfortunately that was all that could be projected. If I had the location and time I would've definitely gotten a better view to see how it would've turned out. Photos of the process and the results are shown below!

Video Art

There are so many ways to film a video and we studied them for the first few weeks of class. Some of the artists included Nam June Paik, The Residents, Laurie Anderson, and many more. For this assignment, we were tasked with creating a 1-minute video art piece that focuses on the phrase "Embrace the Error". Many thoughts went through my mind but none of them could be achieved with the duration restriction. Then it clicked and I decided to make a piece that shows the injustice that the Black community faces as a result of police brutality daily here in the US. Please take the time to not only watch the video, but stay educated on what is going on in our country. Racism is alive and well and talking about it is the only way we can come up with a solution. Enjoy the video! Link to video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l0w6a5kf0nzqnu7/MylesBoyd_VideoArt.mp4?dl=0

Large Scale Projection

For this assignment, we were tasked with creating another projection, but on a larger, human-like scale. I had a hard time coming up with an idea at first for this assignment, but eventually I decided to make a tribute to those affected by police brutality that are unfortunately no longer with us as a result. I made both projection videos in Adobe Premiere Pro, but since they were 2 separate videos on 2 separate surfaces I unfortunately could not play both projections at the same time. The results are below and I added a photoshopped version of what I wanted the final product to look like for reference!

Introduction

  Welcome to my blog! My name is Myles Boyd and I am a senior at the University of Tampa, but I am originally from Milford, CT. I am majoring in New Media with the hopes of being a film/movie producer and maybe doing some work in front of the camera myself. I have an interest in making vlogs and just documenting my everyday life, but also have an interest in learning new video techniques and exploring my creative side. I'm hoping this class will help me enhance my videography and finding new ways to be creative digitally so I can use those techniques in the real world. Stick around and enjoy the show!
