(no subject)
Today I haven't been doing a whole lot, just sitting in a cubicle looking online at college stuff. Some of this stuff is really cool. This is the website for the major i'm going to do at Georgia Tech next year. It's cool because it involves computer science and media; basically, i'll be working on video games and 3d design eventually.
Some of the class descriptions sound awesome. Stuff like:
LCC 2730: Constructing the Moving Image (3 hrs)
Students examine conceptual, formal, aesthetic, and technical approaches to reconsider film, video, and animation within the context of emerging digital forms. They learn to further the development of new, digital forms of the moving image by analyzing. mastering, and expanding its conventions. Students will engage in continual creation, experimentation, and analysis. This is a studio course, with regular design assignments and design critiques. The course includes work in montage editing, camerawork, storyboarding, advanced editing, streaming video, and interactive video.
LCC 4725: Game Design as a Cultural Practice
Students analyze games as cultural artifacts and gameplay as a patterned cultural experience similar to theater, music, and other participatory creative activities. The emphasis is on the design elements common to games, from ancient board games to computer games, and the expressive possibilities and cultural concerns specific to digital games. The course includes theoretical readings and close analysis of specific games. The course will consider the primary theoretical contexts for understanding games, including anthropological, biological, sociological, aesthetic, and literary frameworks. It will include the close analysis of influential and representative games from ancient times to the present, and will engage students in design exercises and in the creation of original digital games.
LCC 3352: Film and/as Technology
Examines the development of film technology and the implications of that technology for cinema?s treatment of technology.
it'll be like computer programming/computer art/film. So pretty much when i'm done with college, if i'm not a failure, which i don't think i'll be, I will be a complete computer badass. this looks completely cool too. I'm actually also thinking about taking Japanese, because that would be totally leet, and then i could do this, which would actually cost less for a semester than being in georgia.
Sorry about the length, but I'm pretty excited about it
