== ----'''OH... HELLOFINAL PROPOSAL''' =='''Yuan''' [pronounced''yu:ohn''] '''Pan''' is For my final I want to do a second year from John Muir College majoring in Media film. He was born project that relates to me on July 20tha personal level, 1990 and grew up in Irvineperhaps, Californiais an experienced shared by many others. I want to address "pressure", he now plans specifically a general societal pressure to switch from third do what is expected of you and only what is expected of you. At times, I feel like it is tough to be an individual, as if there is no room or capacity for people to first person narration because I think its easier perform something unexpected, unnecessary, or unorthodox. To address this way. I've been interested in all things visual for want to build an art piece that utilizes air as long as I the moving mechanical device. Through a fan, air will be blown into a clear container that holds light, wind-responsive objects i.e. feathers or torn paper scraps. The clear container will have existedthree openings, one large one that is host to the fan that blows air into the container itself and two "outlet" holes that let the air back out another end of the container. As a young childWhich one, I began by expressing my interests my interests through of the elementary act two remaining holes, air will escape out of the container will be the variable factor in this project. The two"outlets" will be smaller-dimensional art-making: drawing. Howeversized holes that are each individually governed by servo arms that either entirely blocks, as I grew up I came to discover many more creative outlets to explore my visual interests; from elementary school to high schoolpartially blocks, I went through several different or entirely opens the hole. This servo arm will be dictated by the Arduino and constantly changing phases most likely controlled at the random will of drawingProcessing. At different times, paintingeach of the two holes will be obstructed or unobstructed by the robotic arms that control its air flow. When a hole is covered less, designing, craftingmore air will be directed to escape through its passage way, and assembling 2thus the wind-Dresponsive objects, 3-Dsay feathers, will all animate in the direction of the air flow and digital thus gather towards the more-open of the two outlet holes (these objects will be big enough so that they don't actually fit through the outlet holes and subjects from all over escape out of the placecontainer). By The overall visual effect of this project is that the time I was 16viewer will see the feathers get blown around inside the clear container, crowding around whichever hole is providing the most airflow. Basically the floating objects in this project will always be going with a certain "flow" that is declared at random by Processing. Aside from the visual elements of the project I was severely confused as to what exactly my also ''professional interesthope'' was to beprovide audio by making use of the air escaping from either of the two outlet holes... and then along came my first I am thinking of doing this by attaching a wind-instrument (serioussuch as a whistle) '''camera'''. I was instantly obsessed to the outlet holes (or shape the outlet holes in a way so that they whistle when wind passes through them) so that with photography: each varying degree of air coming out of the ability to composeoutlet hole, capture, and manipulate vision. However, not long after I started playing with photography, I began to yearn for something more and thus moved into animating still images. Very quickly I developed a passion for combining image and sound and articulating them over different note of a timeline--thus creating ''video''different intensity will be played. Since then I have stuck Thus the project will also project an equally random sound that is synchronized with film as my expressive medium the random movement of choice; however my past explorations of drawingthe feathers/painting, designing, crafting/assembling--'''objects being animated inside the container. Hopefully the conceiving an idea and very hands-on act overall effect of carrying it outthis will give off the illusion that the feathers/bringing it to realityobjects are ''responding''--still very much remains in me. Thus, although my primary interests are in film, I do intend to/have been incorporating the designer/craftsman side call of the whistles; whichever of me into my video work. Howeverthe two whistling outlets is being blown the hardest, throughout my childhood explorations the feathers will follow! I never really ventured into the realm of electronics--am a realm of boundless potential bit worried that I feel will have trouble making the whistling happen, so I can not go on any longer without becoming acquainted with. I hold a lot of excitement for this class and familiarizing myself with electronics because I believe it will broaden my creative abilities/possibilities in turning ideas might look into actuality; and this in turn will broaden my capabilities/capacity as a filmmakersome other sound alternative.Visuals coming soon! ----
'''MIDTERM PROPOSAL'''
TRICK PEEPHOLE
I want to create an object with a peephole installed on it. What makes this peep-hole object alluring is that there will be a light emanating from the hole, temping people to look inside in hopes of finding out what is going on in there. However, the trick of it is that the light is controlled by a photoresistor. The light inside the object will only stay lit if the photoresistor detects light entering through the peephole and into the object. Once someone lowers an eye in attempt to peer through the peephole, they block out that incoming light. The curious viewer becomes the switch that turns off the light, making it impossible to ever see what is actually inside the object!

I've been interested in all things visual for as long as I have existed. As a young child, I started by expressing my interests through the simple act of two-dimensional art-making: drawing. However, as I grew up I discovered more & more creative outlets to explore my visual interests. From elementary school to high school, my interests expanded into painting, sculpting, designing, crafting, and assembling 2-D, 3-D, and digital objects and subjects from all over the place. By the time I was 15, I was severely confused as to what exactly my ''professional interest'' was to be, and I was beginning to worry... but then along came my first ''camera''. I was instantly obsessed with photography... this ability to compose, capture, and manipulate vision. But not long after I started playing with photography, I began to yearn for something more and thus looked into the possibility of animating my still images. Very quickly I developed a passion for combining image and sound and articulating them over a timeline--and thus creating ''video''. Since then I have stuck with film as my expressive medium of choice; however my past explorations of drawing/painting, designing, crafting/assembling--''the conceiving of an idea and very hands-on act of carrying it out/bringing it to reality''--still very much remains in me.

I hold a lot of excitement for this class and familiarizing myself with electronics because I know it will broaden my creative abilities/possibilities in converting ideas into an actuality; and this in turn will broaden my capabilities/capacity as a filmmaker. ---- ---- ---- '''THE HEADPHONE'''
