Happy Holidays from the TLC.
The first “team” effort from the Educational Media Group at The Teaching and Learning Centre at SFU. A sock snowman, a DIY miniature greescreen, a DSLR and some mulled wine, et voila! An animated snowman holiday greeting card.
But where’d that moose come from?

First post into #ds106, more of a test post than anything.
There is so much I want to do in this course I do not even know where or how to start. Art. Digital Art. Digital Storytelling. Next level. I’m feeling kinda cocky going in because most of this technology does not intimidate me. I have been doing this stuff for years. Many, many years, and I have witnessed along with you all, the transformation of the tools, the software, the webs, how we use them in our daily lives, and how they are used to create art. I haven’t been too impressed to be honest. In fact, its all starting to scare me a little bit!
But lets start by going back, waaay back. I’d like to examine my own history with art, with storytelling, with being digital. Growing up with analogue technologies, I find I still always fall back on them and their old, crusty analogue ways. I want to resist this. I’m going to try to be a digital story teller whatever the hell that is supposed to be. I’ve had experiments in the past, many half starts. This is my opportunity to follow through on some them.
May I present one of my earliest animated .gifs. circa 2003, the animated colour cube. This little gem was created using photoshop, and an as yet un-calculated number of hours, ‘painting’ the pixels one at a time. There was liberal use of “copy & paste” of course, and the “Hue/Saturation” filter . For some reason I was fascinated by pixel art at the time. It satisfies none of the criteria for the animated .gif assignment in this course, but I really can just sit here and watch it for minutes at a time.
My research on this project is evident in the collection of links I kept and had bookmarked on delicious under the tag, pixel. I’m not sure the latest update on that service but it seems like a good time to host this list myself, even though half the links are probably broke.
