RADICAL ARBORETUM
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Typology: Theoretical Arboretum
Date: Spring 2018
Software Used: After Effects, Illustrator, Lumion, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Rhino, SketchUp, Vray
This assignment was intense. The overall idea was to replace the industrial sites in Minneapolis with an arboretum. This arboretum must include a visitor center, hydroponic towers, gardens, public spaces, and bridges that made crossing the Mississippi easy. This was a very stressful assignment, mainly because the decaying industrial areas were huge and creating videos ended up being a larger challenge than expected.
In the end, I created six videos that range from three minutes to seven minutes in length. Click on the GIFs to view my two favorite videos I created. Overall, this studio was fun. Mark Barnhouse, my studio professor, pushed us to use Lumion and explore a variety of movie making software. I’m still not a fan of Lumion, but there are ways to make Lumion an interesting film creator. Learning Adobe After Effects and Premier Pro was very helpful for me today. I am a movie buff so learning these film making tools became very helpful.
