Amber Choo/RA Tasks

Amber's html list of stuff to do:

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)
• Pick a desk; set up your computer with programs you need. Waiting for computer
• 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

Not done:

• The Pain Chronicles. Read chapters 1, 2, 3, 4. Take notes so you remember what you read/what you thought was interesting
• Show the lab folks your portfolio Chris and Terry still need to see my stuff.
• Carnivale-esque video. Work with Jeremy. Ongoing. 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),
• Identify interactive art projects that are related to pain in Leonardo on paper or photocopies so you can show us; on-going, 1st chunk Aug.31
