So far, my ideas for what I would actually like to do are vague. I love music and find much inspiration in music, however I have not found a way to connect it with my major other than composing my own (which is possible). I thought about maybe trying my hand at mixing music since the art of dj-ing inspires me and that is something I've wanted to try, but never have. I also really love imaging and graphics, and if possible I would like to join this with music for my project. I spoke with Taylor Blythe about this briefly. I could possibly accomplish this by taking a series of images and perfecting them in photoshop and using them to stimulate me in recording/composing music or possibly in some other conjunction with music. Another vague idea I had involved music and how it effects individuals, but I was concerned if that would be related enough to my major. I thought about combining music and art in some way, such as painting with your feet while dancing, but this too I was afraid was not related enough to audio and visual production.
I feel that I should exemplify what I have learned within my major in my capstone. I think this is why when I think about my capstone in general and what I want to do, it overwhelms me. I do not feel that my video skills are as strong as some of my other peers, nor my audio skills, but music greatly inspires me. I am not the best editor, but have the basic knowledge. I want to be as creative as possible so that I possibly obtain a job within the industry. I think the reason it is suggested we spend so much time on the capstone is because 1) there are many things that can potentially change so time is needed to work out issues and 2) this is a project that requires a lot of skill and is thoughtful. Again we are demonstrating what it is we learned during our time here at IUPUI.
