Locating Place - Movie

This project was trying to teach us how to take a project from the start to the end and in the process getting submerged in the content (or in this case culture) that is part of the project. The project had us head into a specific section of East Austin and do our best to capture pictures of the area that fit certain guidelines. From there, we were to create a visual piece in the form of a video that could be either interactive (flash) or not, and choose a theme to help represent East Austin through your eyes.

I created a video that used a "home video" feel to take users through East Austin through their own eyes, however the goal was to show the difference in perception from one person to another; what one person see may be a "slum" or a "restaurant" while another may see it as "the local hang out spot" or "home".


I am extremely happy with this project and I believe the amount of work put in shows. This project opened my interest to doing videos like epipheo in the future, and when I have free time I tend to create videos just to play with AfterEffects and spice up my skills.

This was created using AfterEffects CS5.
