Super Hero in the Making

The idea behind my instagram project was that my stuffed Baymax and I switched places for a day - he went to classes and took tests and I became a superhero for the day. But the thing is, where Baymax excelled in everything he did as we was me, I was a REALLY BAD superhero. There were a couple of short videos that wouldn't post so the story seems kind of incomplete. None of the pictures seemed favored over the others as there was no reaction to any of them on Instagram. Granted, I have about two followers.

This is Baymax waking up as me. He's ready to start the day. He woke up right on time and is ready to take an exam for me.

My first act of saving the world was to "save" this ice cream from melting (the mission was successful). I'm being selfish rather than selfless as I'd rather eat ice cream than actually do my job.

Baymax taking that exam for me - which he aced, of course. Still excelling at this whole student thing.

Me still trying to decide what my super suit should look like. I'm looking at all of the inspiration I can find but still coming up with nothing. The day is wasting away....

Baymax doing my job. He's creating those costumes rapidly for Romeo and Juliet! The adviser of the costume shop wishes he'd come in more often.

Time is still passing by and I'm just now getting to creating my super suit. For shame.

While I'm trying to figure out my alias, Baymax is in Lit learning about persona. He proceeds to tell the class about his persona and how they can find the persona of the poem they were studying.

Tape and tissues later and many mishaps later, my emblem is done. But most of the day has wasted away. I have still accomplished nothing as a superhero.

Baymax is rocking this student thing. Before his next class, he starts doodling Jayne from Firefly. For never having drawn before, he's not bad at it! He even excels at that.

Finally ready to get my day started (in the late evening), I take a shower so I look my best as a superhero.

Baymax goes to rehearsal for me (no cameras allowed inside the studio). Everyone wishes Baymax would have been casted as Captain of the Guard instead of me for he is truly an amazing actor.

Still not ready to go out until I have properly accessorised. These comic book earrings do the trick. This is taking FOREVER.

Baymax getting along with cast members better that I ever could. Nobody is allowed to touch Nate's hair!

Finally, I put on fake glasses to protect my identity. It's already 9pm. How much saving the world can I do by now?

This is where videos are missing. I try to save my roommate from DC food but she doesn't want saving and I end up getting attacked.

Finally, the day of Baymax and I switching places has ended. It's a good thing, too, because I was an awful superhero.

midterm

For this project I chose to instagram a day in the life of my junior film project. My film is about an ancient Japanese ceramic technique. For this day I had a very early start in the morning, so early in fact that I needed several cups of coffee before I was ready to go. Once I got to the studio I began preparing clay. Today would be a throwing day. Basically the entire day was spent in the art studio creating several pieces for my documentary. As the day came to a close I realized that I had been in the studio far longer than intended. While I think my narrative is a simple one I like it because it is a process that most people know very little about, and my project may have helped people understand what all goes into the pottery they encounter.

My Instagram Page

For my project, I thought I'd cover a day in the my everyday life. It starts with me waking up, going to and from classes, eating and relaxing between, and finally ending with a sunset. Although I missed some places where I could have added photos, I think what I gathered is sufficient to show you, without overloading you with repetition, how my ordinary day goes. Two of my favorite pictures were the final sunset and me at lunch. Although the lunch picture had originally included me with my friends, Instagram forced me to crop it to fit a square picture frame, so what you see is what I could fit. The original picture I've very proud of. And the final picture of the sun setting was much more orange in real life than it was on camera, but I like the way it turned out regardless.

The transfer of energy has always been a pretty cool thing to me. Often I’ll find myself plotting out sequences of unique transfers. My initial antic was to be the eventual transformation to the toilet and be like “Paper! Going to the toilet in more ways than one since 4123, BC!” I had to go to a cow farm, so I decided to get some pictures for my project. The rest of the pictures were easy-genie considering I had already plotted them out with a storyboard. I may have mistook something and thought that I could not show my face at all, because of this I only showed my hands and one genius shot my dad posed for while we worked on the car. (He was doing it as a joke and now it is immortalized as my midterm project) When I was uploading I kind of expected the process to be different, but there wasn’t a lot of activity. I received no comments and only one picture got a like. I wondered if maybe at least one person would mention the fact that my dad eventually cuts up all the gifts he gets. The story can many different ways (naturally), but my final piece came from nearly an hour of rewrites for continuity.
