https://drive.google.com/a/rmit.edu.au/file/d/0B8bRxQPrNhZSTExXSjRfTE95LTA/view?usp=sharing The first assessment of the Good Form studio saw us and create a lo-fi, scripted conversational scene. We shot it. We edited it. Now I’m reflecting on it. As I only worked with one other person – Shannon – we opted to film a point-of-view, Peep Show-esque, conversation. This allowed for two characters to be […]
With the tremendous assistance, advice and even narration of Dr. Alan Duffy, myself and fellow studes, Bek and Seonaid, can present to you all reading this blog, AURORA EXPLAINED. Trying to communicate and simplify a complicated, scientific process in three minutes is difficult okay, and this being our first ever attempt at stop-motion video, made it all […]
For so long the likes of scientists and philosophers have attempted to effectively communicate their extravagant scientific processes or bewildering philosophical theories. But communicating complex ideas such as these, to a general or non-specialist audience has always been, and to extents still is, a complicated task. A bridge must be built between the ingenious and […]
HERE ARE THE 5 BLOG POSTS THAT I BELIEVE BEST REFLECT ON MY EXPERIENCE OF THE MEDIA 1 COURSE Week 2 Connection // Noticing Media This connection entry was one of my first, and I think this is the one that truly sparked my initiative to take the Media 1 subject’s content, and apply it […]

But, as to get the gears going, we oiled them up by dedicating our first in-class meeting to getting to […]
Together Dan Bowden, Tim Palstra and myself have joined forces to unite ours and others’ ideas, to create an easy listening audio artefact, fully informative of the media concept of mediums. After weeks of brainstorming, researching, readings, meetings, Skype calls, studio recording sessions, drafts, scripts, editing, etc, etc, this podcast of Yield’s Tin Llama’s for […]
Finished! The recording of our podcast for Project Brief #4 is done! Yesterday, after the consumption of some fine desserts courtesy of Adriano Zumbo’s patisserie, Tim, Dan and myself recorded our last audio segment: a game to test our ‘evolutionary’ use of particular technological mediums. It was a really great experience having all three of […]
The aim of this media portrait was to portray a somewhat disjointed documentary, that focused on the subject of Tom Douglass – a good friend of mine – and his experience with, and enjoyment of, music and his guitar. This portrayal was inspired by the avant-garde films I had seen in a cinema studies session […]
