Random Pictures

Has your combustion been spontaneous in the past hour or so?

Anyway, I am mostly just posting some random pictures that I made a while ago on Adobe Illustrator.

Cubite Transformation
This first one is based on a random idea for a creature from a separate dimension. In this dimension, all things would be composed of cubes, and life simply reformed, resized, and combined these cubes into a form. It could be comparable to if we were able to influence and manipulate our atoms to form whatever we wish. The main difference would be that these creatures are cubes.

This second one is the profile image for the Spore profile my brother and I use. It's basically nothing more than an interesting picture. The focus of the picture is a creation I made- a mad scientist stick figure. There's a whole series of stick figure people. There are 90 or so.  Anyway, it's just a picture of the mad scientist guy being zapped by lightning with some effects around it. As I said at the beginning,  it's random.

Science Fair

This is that video I was talking about in my recap post. I made it to play at the actual event to entertain people before the judges reach them, and to make like we did our job way better.

I am confident I will do well at the science fair because my group is the only one with an awesome video with the Earth exploding. Plus, half of the trifold we are using is a diagram of the sun, Earth, and our solution, which is a ring of satellites if you can't tell from my other post.

I left out in my recap that I wrote about four limericks. One is about my flash drive, another about green lint, and two other things. I'll probably post them eventually.

Recap

I haven't posted in quite a while, so here's a recap.

In debate, I am the first alternate for state in Idaho in LD (I'm a novice, so this is awesome!).
I've been doing well at various other tournaments and I almost made it to nationals but I had a comms judge (communications) and I stink at that- I win by cold logic, so I lost one more round than I should have.

I have two videos, they're drafts for an upcoming project. See Below.

This one is for the project itself. My group and I are doing our project on solar storms and this is a quick draft. It will be a lot better in final, as it will talk about the dynamics and everything.

The second will be posted later as the post system can't take more than one for some reason.

I think I might want to mention here that I am a contortionist. Not as a job, I can just do it. Specifically, I can scratch my ear with my foot, put both feet behing my head, and hop around on one foot with the other behind my head, all without the use of my hands.

I had a rather traumatic dream a bit ago. It was the genocide of an entire colony. I could see the before and after of locations. The worst part was the genocide of all of the university students. I was working out how to defend the remainder of the colony from the colony center when I woke up. Also, I shoved a trash can in a demonic dragon's mouth.

For the above project, since it is being done by about a third of the freshman (my school has 3 freshman academies) as an event called Science Fair. The Honors English class is setting the whole thig up and I am on the decorations commitee. I have a draft of the video we are going to play (made by me)

If you were hoping it would have my name, you were wrong! I censored all the names.

If you really want a name for me, you can call me Gibbinater.

A random name I am rather fond of is Gustav Q. Gorbachev.

Qwerty is an adjective.

I have no clue what gibbinating is.

Third Video- Paper Puppets

The third and final (for now) video. It is called Paper Puppets. It is a short video for a short presentation. It is a step-by-step guide to make a paper puppet or paper cup (which actually hold water, by the way).

I didn't actually choose the topic, my work group did after a few minutes of indesicion. I simply ran with it.

For any Spore users who might read this, I will note that I made an adventure template with this, called Presentation Template under the username Gibbinater. If you want to make a step-by-step presentation for school or something, simply edit the steps and take a video, and don't forget to give me credit.

Enjoy the videos.

Second Video- Brain Drain


This is the second video I'm uploading, and my favorite.

It's about Brain Drain, it's causes, and possible solutions. I made it for a class about Global Perspectives. This was the big project of the class. It had to be 4-6 minutes long, and this video is brilliant because it is 4 minutes and 36 seconds long, so all I had to do was intro the topic and watch, as it did the presentation for me. No actual speaking in front of the class, just enjoying the movie. A non-speaking speech, my favorite. I think it might have taken top presentation. Plus, everything is so exaggerated, it's hilarious. A senior (I'm only a freshmen, as if the specific classes mattered for this) repeatedly called the characters "cute." I don't see it, personally.

First Video- China Ad

These videos are all class projects made on the video game Spore. They're quite intersting.

This first video is an ad about a Chinese replica village that you can visit. It's actually a quick, informative video about ancient China, though not much is actually taught. It was an English project as an intro to the Good Earth.

Sorry it takes multiple posts, Blogger only handles one video per post.
