Questionnaire Assignment

Please answer the following questions, no more than one page total, and email it to me at cas378@cornell.edu before Saturday, April 18th.

1) Please explain in no more than two paragraphs any ideas you might have for your final project. Some things to consider include duration/scope of project, some of the techniques you would like to use, and/or describing the concept behind the project.

2) What software and hardware, do you believe, will best help you realize this project?

3) If applicable, what software and hardware would you like to use for your project, but don't feel as though you have enough knowledge to properly use?

4) Are you interested in collaborating on your project? If so, please explain the nature of the collaboration, and who you would like to collaborate with.

Thought this was pretty cool.

Update: Video Export from Ableton Live

Live 7 does allow exporting of video (with accompanying audio). Under the File menu, select Export Audio/Video. At the bottom of the dialog box that appears, make sure that video export is toggled "on".

An example of something awesome...

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this, but it completely amazed me. It's very relevant to our class, as well. The videos are very interesting because of their relation to the sound splicing needs.

Let me know what you think. I hope you are having a nice break!

PLEASE READ!!!! - Changes to Network Drive

Dear Class,

I recently made changes to the coursework folder on the network drive. I moved all of your Project_1 data to a new folder entitled Critiques_1, located inside the newly created Critiques folder. The Projects folder will now be used to turn in your mid-semester projects due on Wednesday (3/11), and the Critiques folder will be used for all future class critique projects.

I will explain again in class, but please take note of this!

Thanks,

Chris

Single Google Search uses 1000 machines

http://www.labnol.org/internet/search/google-query-uses-1000-machines/7433/

 this is quite an incredible amount of power for one search

Google disputes it and says its not that much, but its still all incredible numbers when thinking of the totally daily searches that google processes. 

the energy usage is probably much higher with the explosion of streaming music on Pandora, last.fm, and thesixtyone.  but probably video streaming in hd uses even more energy.

but I don't really know how this works but I think we need to find out

Abstract Looney Tunes intro

After watching those videos in class I had mentioned it reminded of scenes from Looney Tunes.  It was a random hodgepodge of scenes, but I think to me even though i loved Looney Tunes as I child, it always felt sorta strange and that there were elements of it, that weren't really designed for children.  

This Abstract WB logo was one thing that I was reminded of when watching those videos in class:
