Amber's html list of stuff to do:

September 2012

  • Figure out where my computer is. Apparently it could be on the wrong desk.
  • Uploaded version 2 of Pain Chronicles vid to youtube - waiting on Diane and Chris.
  • On standby for Carnivale video in case Jeremy needs more materials.


August 2012

Done:

  • Get a research login
  • Get your cardkey, and get your actual keys from Todd Mann
  • Print the calendars and adhere them to the wall in Viz lab (due aug 15)
  • Familiarize yourself with The Wild Divine. I got stuck at the part where I had to wake up that lady of Compassion. Not sure if my heart beat is irregular or what. I tried for about half an hour. Regardless that was far enough into the game for me to get a good feel about The Wild Divine, what it does, it's pitfalls, strengths etc.
  • Check out M.A. theses. Quickly look thru 3 by Aug.31. Searched online - I found Terry's paper on persuasive games!
  • Identify videogames that are related to pain. 1st chunk Aug.31. I have around 7. Wrote explanations, found screenshots.
  • Identify interactive art projects that are related to pain in Leonardo. 1st chunk Aug.31. I read Leonardo in the library. Didn't find much in the available issue.
  • Read the first part of The Craft of Research (re: how to write a research question.) Write a couple of versions of YOUR question each week, & be ready with them in the lab meetings. I think I've found my thesis topic!! Sent to Diane and Chris.
  • The Pain Chronicles. Read chapters 1, 2, 3,


Not done:

  • Pick a desk; set up your computer with programs you need. Waiting for computer
  • Show the lab folks your portfolio. Chris and Terry still need to see my stuff.
  • Carnivale-esque video. Work with Jeremy. We have cut out pictures from a book to experiment with. Waiting for Jeremy to import and compose composition in Adobe After Effects, or if he needs more cutouts/more help. Once he's finished with that, I take the file and import into Unity.
  • YouTube Video: (inspired by Pain Chronicles), identify 1 piece of info, shoot talking head (camera in VR2). Did chronic versus acute pain. Editing in final cut now.
