My first flipbook!

Well making my flipbook is not going so well! I have a picture in my mind on how I want my story to look, but I don't have much space in my book to draw because of the words. Also this is very time consuming, I don't know if I have the patience for the finishing product. Its only my first flipbook, so it won't look like a pro made it, I'm trying to draw simple things as much as possible.

CD/ DVD/ BLU RAY

Background

Compact Discs

A compact disc is a storage medium with digital data recorded on its surface. An optical beam reads the CD and reproduces the sound. Because the beam does not touch the CD, there is no wear and tear on the disc.

Digital Versatile Discs

Digital versatile discs (DVDs) work in a manner very similar to CDs. Like a CD, a DVD is a disc layered with pits and lands. A DVD, though, can have more than one layer to it; a CD does not. Because of this, a DVD can hold about seven times more data than a CD.

Blu-ray Disc

Blu-ray (not Blue-ray) also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a new optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.    http://www.blu-ray.com/info/     History CD http://www.timetoast.com/timelines/history-of-cds DVD & Blu-Ray http://www.timetoast.com/timelines/the-evolution-of-a-blu-ray-player   Social Impact In my opinion,I think cd's and dvd's have made a huge impact on the society. We first had theater then we slowly transitioned to cd's then dvd's. From there we could listen and watch from our own homes. The big impact that we have now from technology is 3D Blu-Ray. This is changing the whole society, for consumers to buy 3D HD televisions now. Another thing is the society has a variety of topics to talk about amongst each other about the lastest cd or dvd release.

My Photography World

I am so happy that this week in class we are talking about photography! I love photos and not only that I have a little photography business on the side. Most people think I'm majoring in Photography, but I'm not. I think once I'm done getting my Sport Management degree I think I might go to school for photography, but I'm not sure. As of now I only take photos as a hobby, and a little side business for the fun of it.  I wanted to share one of my photos that I actually got developed onto a canvas.

The story to this photo: One day my mom was telling me to come look at this dragonfly that won't move in the garage. I went to go look and there sure was a beautiful dragonfly on my mom's truck. It would not move, so I figured something was wrong with it's wing. I was right something was wrong with him, we tried to help him go, but he just fell to the ground :(. I got a beautiful picture though, I just love how vivid his colors are up close.

Angel de Quinta's STAGE DOOR Blog....

I think this excerpt of The Music Man used technology in a creative way by stars in the background that actually looked real. They also made a moon in the back, which I didn't noticed till the scene was almost over. The lighting that were on the couple also made a real live moon effect on them. The technology in this scene was used great to give off a  real effect.

I think this little clip of the Pippen performance was great! I think they used a lot of technology that made the show what it is today. All the lighting helps to draw peoples attention to the stage. Also the swing things that the cast was swinging in the air help as well.

I was exciting to watch this broadway; I didn't even know there was one for A Christmas Story. I watch this movie every year. I think the things that stood out the most to me in this play was the fact that the broadgrounds could transition so smoothly to another scene. That shows that the tech crew wanted the background to change quick. I'm sure technology has come along way in broadways for transitioning.

With this broadway clip, I had to watch it twice to really get what was used from technology. I think the way the scene props were used were great. This was another transition play that went great. I wonder how the scene props moved from being on stage. It looked so précised that I don't think a person would have did it. Maybe it was a machine. Even the backgrounds changed fast, I remember looking at the background then all of a sudden a big clock was in the background.

This was a older play, so I didn't see too much different creative technology  involved. I did noticed the music instruments had a lot of involvement with the cast. The music synced with the cast members movement which I thought made the show more interesting.

I didn't really think this was a broadway show since they were in the middle of a orchestra. I think the technology in this play was the orchestra. All the sounds in the show came right from the orchestra that was right behind the characters. I think the orchestra actually made the show in this particular
show.

Wow a throwback in Instagram terms! Watching this video just shows how times have change with picture quality and instruments as well. Performances have come along way all together, between costumes, microphones, and sound quality.

Janeyne Butterfly...

In class this week, I was very impressed by the pole dancing from Janeyne Butterfly. It was the fact that she could express her body on a pole. When you think pole dancing some think of strippers, but apparently some just like to do different incredible things on a pole that doesn't really pertain to stripping. When I watched this video of her doing all these techniques, it made me want to try it. it may sound funny, but I just want to have fun and see how strong I am to hold my body up. I showed my roommates the video, and they were very impressed as well. We plan to take a day out to go to a pole dancing class. Also I have heard its a great exercise too!

"The Birth and Life of Opera"

Well I hope I watched the right video, which was almost a hour long!!! There is a lot about opera that was just way out there. The video was a little bit boring to me, which became dreading. It was too long, and I was getting a little annoyed by all the opera singing. While watching I did try to imagine living in the opera times, and it would have been crazy. If there was a way we could go back in time, I don't think I would have liked it back then, but I'm sure it would have been a experience to see everyone in their clothing attire.

I found this dress that I'm sure women would have wore back then, and I think it is so beautiful! I would have wore it myself.

Pjotr Sapegin's Madama Butterfly animation

All I can say is wow! While watching Pjotr Sapegin's Madama Butterfly animation I thought it was pretty interesting. It was an animation that I never experienced before, my eyes where glued to the computer. It was pretty funny at times too, to see the baby come out as a fish. I wish it was a little longer, I would have liked to see how the little girl adapted in life with her dad and the other children.
