It Has Been a While
I originally intended this blog to be about Flash and Flash-related posts such as Flex and such; but lately I have not been working with Flash at all. I don’t want to get into the Flash problems debate but I found it was a lot of work to get even the simplest of programs running smoothly. In the meantime, I have worked some co-ops at Fuel Industries and Adobe and continued with my university studies in Interactive Multimedia and Design – one year left!
Actually, after taking a class that touched on using Arduino microprocessors and Processing to create interesting interactive pieces I think I have found a new way to quickly create experimental pieces that doesn’t necessarily use keyboard and mouse as input. Specifically I have been doing a lot of work with a C++ framework called openFrameworks to create music visualizers for concerts around town here in Ottawa. Over the next week or so I will be posting abut what I have been doing over the last few months – from using Maya MEL script to create a downtown city, to using processing to simulate elliptical orbits, to several openFrameworks projects that use sound to create, hopefully, interesting visuals.
Well I have to run to my girlfriend’s for mother’s day dinner but expect new posts soon!
