Shigemichi Ishitani was into drawing and painting until he found out there was no money in this field.
So he traveled Montreal for a soul searching.
When he came back, he switched from traditional to digital media. so he could hopefully have some bread to eat.

########### Remix video ##########

I created this video to talk about how those different media like youtube, music video and adobe program is influencing our culture and globalization by remixing all those resources.
I also borrowed images from the Transporter 2 , Sin city trailer and original music video and put the map between the video clips to indicate the recognition of the band after the movie was released.
I used exaggeration for my statistics because i wasn’t able to obtain the accurate report for this matter.

~~~~~~~ Activate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s kind of tricky to pick those 2D still images and convert them into animation piece while also synchronizing my audio piece with it at the same time.
I was caught up with technical issues and in the end… my piece naturally became abstract ( that was my original intention, of course… )
As for re-interpreting the themes of the mural, I think that… by putting the image and beat together, I can sense that there is a lot of excitement and confusion co-existing in this cyber world we exist in today.

+++++++ GIF +++++++

I did enjoy working with photoshop in order to create a GIF because I received enough visual stimuli from my images.
Now, I have a deeper understanding of the jpeg and png image file formats.
I think it was a very important basic animation to go through before attempting to used an advanced animation program, but I guess… I cheated like Devil.

+++++ Programme ++++++


O, where can I begin…… this Programme course really changed my life.
I will probably avoid watching Matrix trilogy for another decade…….for good.
To this day, My left hemisphere of my brain still hurts like hell ….( hence, I am brain damaged )
I guess it is necessary to understand the code if you are into any computer program.
I hope one day I can program tetris so children can be excited about programming.
