Thanks Cameron for this stylish, contemporary vignette as part of this week’s ‘Visualising Sound’ challenge! Nice use of After Effects as an interactive platform, working really well with the feel is the music, thanks Cameron!

Anyone else been doing something this week for 1/2

2/2 this week, for Maddie’s guest challenge? 😀🔊🎧🎶

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

Thanks Monica for this minimalist and evocative piece for this week’s ‘Visualising Sound’ challenge! 😀

Loving the simplicity here; the interplay of Audio and still images works really well to convey a seasonal mood, thank you Monica!

Anyone else thinking in terms of sound 1/2

Thanks Matt for this short vignette for this week’s ‘Visualising Audio’ challenge! Loving the stylish interplay of visuals and audio in this topical cut, thanks Matt!

Anyone else been getting into Maddie’s guest challenge this week? 😀🎧🔊🎵

2/2 this image represents. Apparently this vehicle is called an APC and was really noisy to ride in!

Thank you for this Nigel! Anyone else been looking into Maddie’s guest challenge this week? 😀🔊🎧

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

Thanks Nigel for this contribution to the current ‘Visualising Sound’ challenge!

Nigel took this in Sarajevo in 1992, he writes that whenever he hears the sounds of tractors and other farm vehicles near his home in Gloucestershire, it brings back memories of the past, which 1/2

3/3 it’s what I was trying to convey (not super successfully!) with this film. Needed a bit more of an expectant pause at the end for maximum payoff, but anyway it’s an idea. In other news, I didn’t win!😉

Anyone else been thinking about sound and visuals this week? 😀🔈🎵🎧🔊😀

This is James’ first entry for this week’s ‘Sound’ related guest-challenge from Maddie!

It’s an old one, I’ll do a new entry soon when I get a moment. In the meantime this was an entry to a 10-second film competition I think run by Sony in 2014; for a long time I’ve been 1/3

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

2/3 fascinated by the impermanence of performance, how a moment after this film ends a performance of perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written will begin, and is the expectation of it part of the performance? There’s something really fragile about that, and

It’s Challenge Time!

Absolutely delighted this week to have our first guest challenge, and what a superb one it is! Course alumnus Maddie knows a thing or two about audio, and has prepared this brief about visualising sound! Marvellous! Thank you Maddie, and really... 1/2

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

2/2 the top where it reflects on the underside of the water surface; fascinating! 😀 Many thanks Nigel!

Anyone else feeling liquidy this week? 💦 😀💧

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

Thanks Nigel for this contribution to the current Liquid challenge! The image was inspired by Suzanne Saroff’s images of still life objects through liquid; the distortion caused by the liquid and glass curvature has increased the size of the tangerine by x2.5, with a gap at 1/2

Job opportunity!

For alumni interested in potentially teaching Digital Media, just seen this on LinkedIn. Don’t know much about it, just caught my eye; might be worth a look as an interesting entry-point to passing on your knowledge & skills to others!😀

2/2 Current students, applicants, alumni and everyone else all welcome to take part!

Sneaked a quick tutorial into this video to do some classic bubble effects, but do whatever you like, and let’s see what you come up with!

Liquid is the challenge: let’s go! 💦💧😀🚿😎

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

It’s Challenge O’Clock! 😎

This time we’re doing a reprise of one of the most successful challenges from last spring, as not everyone had a chance to do it. So Liquid is the brief for this week’s challenge! Photography, video, animation, other, up to you! 1/2

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

2/2 film canister model and actually took a plastic cartridge which had to be manually advanced with a button. A genuine piece of history, and then there’s the drama and really arresting faded tonality of the image itself, wow!

New challenge soon! 😎😀

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

Well, what better way to round-off our Vintage & Retro challenge than with a genuinely vintage image! This image is from the Falklands conflict in the early 1980s, and was taken by Nigel who was serving there at the time! Nigel recalls that the camera wasn’t even a 1/2

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

2/2 are super strong compositionally; loving the energy and balance involved. Thanks for these George!

Anyone else gone a bit Retro this week? 😎

[UoG Digital Media @UoG_DM]

A couple of really strong images with some muted vintage tonal loveliness from first year @_taylography_ for this week’s Vintage & Retro Challenge! The tones and grain with some light-leak effects give them a strong old-school ‘90s Thrasher vibe, while the images themselves 1/2
