For my project I ended up focusing on the feeling of finding an abandoned place (in this case an old barn). You push aside the overgrown weeds and use the odds and ends in that location to construct a story of your own. I drew the little crow myself, and the sky changes with every second in a way that I intended to be a little unsettling.

(note: I uploaded my final project before the midnight deadline on Friday, however, I noticed that the visuals was not showing up on my post so I tried editing it. It is still not showing up on WordPress when it was originally.)

I changed my idea from my Final Project proposal; initially I wanted to create a storyboard that incorporated fireworks as the final landscape. But I thought a storyboard wasn’t “computational” enough and I wanted to incorporate more concepts learned in class. So that’s why I maintained creating a code for fireworks and incorporated a generative landscape of a ferris wheel. I wrote the fireworks to be multi-colored, and at random fire different styles of fireworks. One thing I struggled with is putting the ferris wheel code and the fireworks code together; the codes would affect the other and therefore I had to use push() and pop() to maintain the stylistic elements of the two components of my final project.

Instructions:
You can click your mouse to move your character, (which changes from dream to dream) – and you change dreams by pressing 1,2,3,4 or 5 on your keyboard. When you’re in dreams you can hover over certain notes to see what that dream is about – (for the green woman you hover over her mouth since there is no note).

Conclusion:
Overall this project was exhausting to complete – but I’m pleased with the way it looks. Each image was hand drawn in photoshop with a one pixel brush so as to have the utmost control over my vision.  I spent all of my free-time working on this, trying to bring it to life as best I could. There is still much more I would’ve liked to do with it, such as adding smoother transitions between dream sequences or adding more notes but overall it really sticks close to how I envision it in my head. In terms of the notes, I intended for them to be difficult to read to act as a parallel to the ambiguity and hazy quality of dreams – how things can seem so fuzzy and vague but you still can understand what’s going on perfectly.

Here’s a video of a play through with all the actions:

Here are some photos of each scene and the corresponding note:

If you want to know what each of the notes say, here is a quick copy of each of them:

Note from dream 1:
“I remember a young girl desparately searching for something… she was wading through papers in a clear blue body of water. There were pathetic and skinny little trees that grew around and behind her directly from the water which was a bit of an odditiy… I remeber trying to call out to her – ask her what she was looking for or if I could help… but she ignored me. The more I tried to screm the less I seemed to make a sound and I was quickly becoming panicked – it was at that point that I realized thtat I was just a fly. She couldn’t hear or understand me no matter how hard I would try and I was nothing more than a buzzing nuisance. I resigned to watch after realizing this and was surprised by the fact that she was so involved in her task – that she was completely unbothered by the annoying buzzing coming from me.”

Note from dream 2:
“There were three people all standing or sitting around, it was outside – but I’m not exactly sure where – mostly because we were in the grass but there was also a lamp plugged in outside? I tried to turn it on, but the lamp was broken. The sky in combination with the color of the ground reminded me of an anemic watermelon – maybe this is summer then? Anywho I remember seeing a girl sitting down and a gentlemen beside her -only he wasn’t much of a gentleman… his hands were crawling up her leg and I could see her whole face go black (well, everything but her eyes which remained a piercing white color). There was also a strange you child – just watching. Everyone had eyes but the only one with a mouth was Mr.Touchy feely.. I still don’t understand this.”

Note from dream 3:
“This dream I don’t remember all too well – all I remember is how it looked and felt to be there, the way the stars moved across the sky (as they always do in my dreams for some reason) and the odd abandoned structure sitting still beneath a blossomig tree – It looked so rickety, like it could’nt possibly hold anyone up inside of it… but somehow in that absence of another person – you could feel them there… I don’t know who exactly, just that there was supposed to be someone there. There is some presence in absence here…”

Note from dream 4:
“I remember this dream so vividly – it was beautiful – the plush bed reminded me of the way that cloth is rendered in paintings of Vesnus by TItian or other great artsists who inspired the classical period – the colors were off though – the women, although supple and lush was a gastly shade of green and somehow upon looking at her I knew she was dead. Dead people aren’t usually green – I know, but it was that weird “dreamer’s intuition” where you know nothing makes sense but somehow you are able to piece things together and just know things somehow. What didn’t know was why or how. Maybe there’se something to be said for the fact that I appeared asa fly in this dream as well…”

Note from dream 5:
“It was dark – like time was moving backward . The sky shifted from a deep red to dark blue – almost like a sunset? But not quite. The clouds draped down the sky and had an overwhleming presence – they were almost too big – and I remember the way the stars moved behind the clouds – like they were being projected in motion across the sky – but the strangest part were the two people I saw – one not even moving, but entranced by the sky – the other walked backwards and refused to make eye-contct. I couldn’t move at all – I was trapped like the one looking to the sky and I only remember the fear that filled my body at the younger one moved closer – I was unsure of what they would do”
