About Runeshai

Hey guys, I'm an art student in Boston, and this is my record of all the creative projects I'm involved in, either in part or wholly mine. From school work to volunteering in foreign countries, to applying my expertise locally, I try to keep a record of everything I work on, and share it, what it meant to me, and hopefully a glimpse at the bigger picture of my growth as an artistic soul.

SIM Big Show

Every year, the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) department has their own department-wide show, showcasing the breadth and variety of its students’ work.  This year is my first year in SIM, and I’ve been involved in SIM-related projects and events more than any thing I’ve done at any school yet.  It’s fantastic.  I was asked to stage manage the performance portion of this year’s Big Show, and not knowing what that meant or even what the Big Show was, I said ‘sure.’  It was really big, pretty stressful, and really awesome.

Video Projection Mapping

Someone came from Obscura Digital today to present on the technology of video projection mapping.  Hard to believe?  Hardly.  It’s pretty simple, just live use of VFX techniques.  And sometimes using motion-sensors or other things to trigger it.  He recommended Resolume and Touch Derivative as pieces of software to get started with it.

Instructable: Creepy Halloween Day For Night Photomanipulation

Wonderful public-submission how-to site Instructables always has all kinds of contests going on, and with Halloween approaching, they unrolled a whole lineup of Hallow’s Eve themed contests.  From costumes to jack-o-lanterns, they’ve got it all.  But mostly, the photomanipulation one caught my eye.  The deadline’s tomorrow, so sorry if you’re getting late notice, but I’ve been working on my entry for the past two weeks or so.  Check it out after the jump.

Short Film Script: Need Help!!

Hello World!

… One of my majors requires (not explicitly, but very implicitly) that we develop a practice of making our own stuff without external forces pushing us to do so.  While this is awesome, and probably one of the best things to have going on in art school, it really means we have to step up and tackle the world and ourselves in a serious manner.  (Not always serious, but at least as far as taking ourselves serious as stuff-makers goes).

So, one of my projects for this year is a short film.  Starting with the guidelines of some cool, fast-paced cinematography, some simple, flashy effects work, and a bitchin’ fight scene with weapons and unique choreography, I banged this out in a few weeks near the end of August, and would looove some feedback.

Originally I wasn’t going for heavy story or even fully-fleshed emotional tones, but now that I’ve gotten out the first draft, I’m open to developing that stuff and really the whole thing in almost any direction.  That said, I like the piece as it is now, and I do want to keep things short and concise, while also trying to pack a punch (both metaphorically and literally).

So, please attack this with fervor and excitement, and I’d love to hear what you’ve got to say in the comments.
