My Portfolios
Pixelated
Currently, the Android Play Store isn't home to a one-stop shop for
retro arcade game enthusiasts who wish to relive the good old days.
This is a significant problem, as many people born in the 80s and 90s
do not have easy access to these types of games. Our app, Pixelated,
is tailor-made for those who are nostalgic for beloved old retro games.
Our app will include several classic arcade games such as Galaga, Pacman,
and Centipede. Our app will not only allow the user to play games; it
will also show them where the nearest arcades are located, locations of
Pixelated users nearby, and it will also display the users current high
score alongside a global high score leaderboard. Our natural user base
will consist of people who enjoy playing mobile games, especially the
classic retro ones.
The Perfect Backyard
This project was done utilizing many aspects of creating a 3D, animated world in Three.js, including, but not limited to, ShapeGeometry, applying UV mapping to textures, environment mapping with skyboxes, vertex and fragment shaders, bezier curves, normal maps, bump maps, and various forms of transformation, including translation, rotation, and scaling. This project also gave me the opportunity to create models using Blender, a tool that I used to create the people playing cornhole, the cornhole boards, the bees flying around the garden, and the lilypads floating in the pond.
In the Kitchen
The goal of this short project was to create a minute-long music video that embodied
any given song of our choice; I chose In the Kitchen by Renee Rapp. This project provided
me with an introduction to cinematography, lighting, focus, and post-production, as well
as how to use and operate a GH5 camera.
Wisconsin Volleyball
This video is a documentary of the experiences of Vince Nayman, a manager for the
Wisconsin Badgers Volleyball team. I gained exposure to filming interviews that adhere
to industry standards, and this was my first creative project that I worked on with another
person, giving me experience with balancing creative control and reaching mutual compromise.
Reflection
This project is an original narrative short, written and produced by every member of the
group. Creating this video introduced me to the process of writing an intruiging story with
compelling characters and interesting dialogue, and it helped strengthen my post-production
skills, including seamless editing, sound, and coloring contrast.
